Lovely Loft

This is such a great looking loft from Remodelista....so amazing. Modern with rustic touches and French style vintage furnishing...that is bold. Not a single rug on the all white flooring and the open concept is the perfect place to have this type of floor. Walls of windows to bring in the light....well I could go on and on.....it is very well done to be sure.

Designer: Windsor Smith

I have been doing research for a design project I am working on and I had the idea to go and look at the website of Windsor Smith for inspiration. Well I certainly went to the right place! This designer has really incredible taste and creates the most chic, yet livable rooms. Really an outstanding talent...I could live in most of the homes she designs and feel really comfortable. What I like is that she can design in many styles, traditional, eclectic or classic but manages to keep her own signature running through her work. She keeps a nice mix of modern mixed with antique or vintage and even her most classic homes never look stuffy. Take a look at a few of her wonderful rooms here many from here own home...

Naturally Modern

Another great spread in Vogue Living magazine featuring a converted 70's style home. Done with all natural materials the outdoors and indoors blend seamlessly with large open doors and windows. Lots of natural and stained woods are used in this stylish modern home, as well as concrete on the floors and stone in the bathroom. Don't you just love that bathroom sink!! Of course there is the amazing twig chandelier in the dining room...really so many fantastic elements in this house...

Inspiration in White: Runway to Room

Love the gorgeous greens and blues we are seeing on the runways and at the award shows this season..(did you catch the Oscars yesterday?)...and what about a bit of green and blue in your home mixed heavily with white of course. The fabrics on the couches and in these amazing Gucci clothes are so rich and warm with velvets and mohair, leather and denim. A bit of bohemian inspiration from the runway to your room tonight!

Fantastic Real Estate

I really like these Swedish websites that feature real estate in a new way. The homes are styled to the max and look so appealing and fresh. You feel like you could just move in and everything is ready to go. The two real estate sites I really love are Fantastic Frank and Stadshem.  This great apartment is from Fantastic Frank and is pretty typical of what you would see on the site. Lots of white decor with some wonderful, mid-century or industrial and often vintage touches. Very often the kitchens have wonderful finishes and they always feel super modern and hip. Remember they are for sale so...any takers?

Stylish Open Plan Apartment

This wonderful open plan space has lots of great elements. The concrete floor has such a fantastic glossy finish, beautiful beams all around the apartment and white, white everywhere. What could be better! The owners of this apartment in Copenhagen are both in the fashion business and you can see their good taste throughout the space. They have used really perfect classic pieces that will stand the test of time matched with great modern design.

Black and White Scandinavian

So love this Scandinavian apartment! So inspired that I can see doing this in one of my clients homes. The couch is just perfect. Modern but still comfortable and the coolest of lamps beside it...also the coffee table is just so perfect! I would love to have one of these cross blankets from Pia Wallen... they are really beautiful don't you think?

Hope you are having a great week. Check out these Scandinavian beauties HERE and HERE..

Enjoy!

Inspiring Workspaces

I am always finding great workspaces that inspire me and I have decided to do a little office refurbishing in my own space. My office is in my home and even though it is very pretty there is way too much furniture going on in there. I am going to have to redo the room to be more efficient and organized. I have files in boxes, samples laid out on the bed in the room (a tempting place to have a nap on long days) and fabric in plastic bags.

I want to do one wall as an inspiration board. I have seen a few good ideas of how to do this simply and easily (check out the idea of creating borders with removable tape). I also want a more beautiful and stylish chair than I have currently and two gorgeous hanging pendant lamps above the desk. I have two barn lamps that I think will look really great.

I have shown you a few offices before (here) but below are a few new photos that I love and that are sure to give me the inspiration I need to get started!

Enjoy!

Cool in the Hamptons

Two years ago I spent a week in Southampton and I loved it. Our little hotel was not far from the beach and I can honestly say it was one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever been to. The waves, the homes along the beach, the sand and the open space was amazing. The town was lovely and the people so kind and easy going! I was dying to see the inside of so many homes as they all looked wonderful as does this home. Built in the "saltbox" style and right on the water this house mixes soft ocean blues with white to create a gorgeous beachy atmosphere..

Modern use of Wood and Brick

Beautifully designed home that keeps light flowing with windows all around the house and skylights on the ceiling. A mix of white walls with brick keep it from feeling too cold and the wide planked wood floors add to the warmth. All the fireplaces are double sided to continue the open plan throughout... very interesting use of space and materials I would say..

Enjoy!
