One of the best parts of my weekend was getting to check out Fig & Olive in the meatpacking district for restaurant week.
Fig & Olive is inspired by the coastal regions of France, Spain and Italy and I must say I really did feel like I took a little vacation during my time there.
I felt like I was walking into a Nancy Myer’s movie and immediately the wheels in my head starting turning with ideas on how to recreate the look in your own home.
Check out the beauty:
{Love all of the open shelving and use of chalkboard paint throughout the restaurant.}
{Statement lighting and pop of color on the ceiling!}
{The walls were concrete all throughout the space and two massive walls house thyme.}
{Favorite part of the design was the beautiful pressed herb/plant artwork in floating frames against the concrete wall with linen drapes to the side. Love all of it! }
Recreate the look yourself:
1. All of the walls in the restaurant were concrete. That’s a bit hard to add to your own home, but you can get the same color as concrete by using Benjamin Moore Aganthus Green.
2. Don’t forget that ceilings are the fifth wall of a room. Think outside the box and paint it a creamy orange shade. My favorite is Orange Cream by Valspar.
3. The best part of the restaurant was the clean/organic vibe it gave off. Line up some of these vases on a mantle and clip some branches from your yard instead of blooms.
4. Statement lighting! Go big or go home and for only $89.99 it won’t break the bank.
5. Since you can’t get concrete/cement on the walls add a touch of texture with this planter.
6. The wall of herbs can easily be recreated with these.
7. Linen panels had an additional touch of texture to the space. These are my favorite and they are currently on sale.
8. Floating frames from one of my favorite frame source.
9. Amazing source for pressed flowers and herbs. Most varieties are around $4 for 20 pieces.
While the decor was delightful their dishes were delish!

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
Fall is the perfect season to host an outdoor movie night in your backyard! It’s that time of year when outdoor furniture is still outside and it gets dark earlier than the summer which means your little kiddos can enjoy the movie night as well. It’s so nice to transform your backyard with cozy blankets, […]
Can you believe it’s already November? Before we know it Thanks No. 1 Modern bar cart with patterned sides that looks great as is, but would also look amazing painted a pop of color! Plus it’s only $157. No. 2 This lucite bar cart is a personal favorite of mine. Look at those chic lines! […]
For the longest time our backyard was mainly just grass and a little small area where we laid down some pavers so that we could set out a little plastic table/chairs during the summer. Not exactly ideal for entertaining. For the past couple of years we have wanted to build a deck and enjoy the […]
I love how you used this gorgeous restaurant as inspiration for your rustic charm board- lovely.
Nice job recreating the look!
Love the Fig & Olive. The tapas there are so delicious! Go across the street and check out Valbella. Yummy!
Looks amazing though I must admit I’m a wee bit jealous of all my New York friends going on and on about how fabulous restaurant week is!
PS, love the woven light fixture too.
love fig & olive too! and need to stop hibernating and go there again soon… great inspiration, thanks! xo
I love Fig and Olive! I go to the one on the Upper East Side–oh so conveniently located near the F train. It’s just so cozy there.
