Bamboo Friday with James Farmer!!

So excited!!

I had the great luck to go hear James Farmer speak last night.

He's fabulous. 

Southern. Very.
We are both unapologetically Southern.

We share a love of "Carl" :)  That's the color coral if you don't have a deep Southern drawl.

He decorates in the most beautiful, timeless way.

I gave his last book as a gift to my mom. Who loves it!!

And...

He uses my beloved bamboo in so, so many of his rooms!!
(and blue and white and the Audubon flamingo!)

Look closely and you'll see a touch of bamboo in most of his rooms.

Here are a few images from his Instagram:

A wonderful bamboo sideboard with two fabulous Chinoiserie lamps on the right.

The bedside table above is a great looking small scale bamboo chest.

Three matching bamboo bookcases hold all kinds of treasures.

 This all time favorite bedroom has it all -
the dream faux bamboo bed, animal print
and that fantastic caramel colored print fabric used for window treatments and pillows.

AND he has the cutest pooch!!

Be sure to go see him speak if you have the chance- they called it a "lecture" but it was far from it.
So entertaining!
Be sure to get his books - there are so many and there is a new cookbook that sounds fabulous in addition to the interior design book he published last Fall.
And definitely follow his IG feed for non-stop inspiration!
