Spotlight: The Hollywood Swank Collection

As some of you know the boyfriend and I are official home owners! And as exciting as it is to have our own home it comes with a lot of stress, worries and responsibilities. The overall experience has been very overwhelming, but we cannot wait to see the finish product (I'm guesstimating it'll be two years before everything is perfectly together as we have envisioned it.)

My loyal readers and blogger buddies may have noticed a decline in content on this blog, as well as the quality of content, but right now I only have home renovations and decor on the brain. I'm almost sure this is the equivalent of women who suffer from baby brain during their pregnancy. But because I'm not a home decor specialist I didn't want to blog about it; however, last night I realized just how excited I am about this project and though I'm no expert I do want to share my experiences with you. In the future I'll post a blog with before and after pictures of the home.

But back to today's post.

I have a very specific (some would even call it unique) taste and everything that I see at furniture stores falls short from my aesthetic needs and wishes.

But all of that changed last night when I saw the most exquisite and elegant bedroom set ever.


Hollywood Swank Bed and Bed Bench by Michael Amini and Jane Seymour



I love everything that sparkles, so needless to say this entire collection, but especially this bedroom set took my breath away. The master suite of the new house was painted in black and white and I think this stunning bed would be the perfect focus piece for the room. In addition the bedding set is exactly what I had pictured: white and black with a little pop of color (and it doesn't hurt that it has a little bling too.) Before I saw this bedding set, I was still unsure of the POC I wanted to incorporate into the black and white theme, I had flirted with fuschia and teal, but I think purple will be the color.

Now I'm not saying I'd like to add furniture designer to my resume anytime soon, but if I were to ever design furniture it would probably look like the Hollywood Swank Collection brought to life by Michael Amini and Jane Seymour.

Check out the other fabulous pieces:


Hollywood Swank Vanity Set by Michael Amini and Jane Seymour 





What girl would not love to wake up and prim herself up in front of this gorgeous old Hollywood glamorous vanity set? The bench chair contains crystal details. Simply beautiful.

Hollywood Swank Lingerie Swivel Chest by Michael Amini and Jane Seymour





I know this should be used for lingerie, but I'd use it to store my accessories!

This collection isn't just a bedroom one-- it includes pieces for the living room and dining room and features entertainment units.




Hollywood Swank Armless Chaise by Michael Amini and Jane Seymour



Hollywood Swank Desk and Chair by Michael Amini and Jane Seymour




I could handle all my GTG business in the comfort of my own home with this luxurious desk and chair! Sighs.


A girl sure can dream! There are two other collections under the Amini and Seymour collaboration: Beverly Blvd. and Palace Gates, but none come close to the Hollywood Swank collection. It's flawless!

I'm afraid that none of these pieces are within our budget and my boyfriend thinks the pieces are too feminine. So while I obsess over needing these pieces I believe I'll have to settle for something less perfect.

What do you guys think of the collection? Is it too much? Too feminine? Or just perfect?

  1. I am loving that desk and chair. I think the entire set is very feminine, but not too feminine for a man to enjoy. My fiance and I bought our own home in February, and you're probably right when you say it's going to take about two years for everything to be totally together. We're now into our sixth month here, and we still have a long, long way to go before it looks like the home we have been envisioning for years. Good luck!

  2. I love the collection I'm falling for it just like you! The tufted headboard is awesome and if your crafty you could really DIY one yourself (or hire someone crafty that's what I do ;) that could be a bit more manly ;) I like this post I can't wait to see what you end up doing for your home!

    1. Thanks Ashley. I had the same idea about a DIY, but I'm not sure he'll be happy with any crystals.

  4. I totally understand the whole homeowners thing. Congrats and welcome to the club. I must admit when I was looking at your furniture choices I wondered about your boyfriend. I definitely believe that is a single woman home furnishing choice or if you have a spare room that you want to turn into your special place.
    Anyway, I have am on my 8yr of owning a home and I can say with confidence that the decorating never ends. I am always changing things.
