White Home with Pops of Pastel

This family apartment is only 720 square feet in size but the owner of this little gem works for Ikea so she has plenty of inspiration and ideas on decorating....not just decorating but how to add great storage and manage space. Her space saving solutions are really well done with shelving and bookcases thoughout the home.

I also love the touches of pastel and neon...mixed with the black and white it feels so modern. Have you noticed all the pastel trending in home decor? Anybody who loves the Shabby Chic look has always had pastel but the look is creeping into modern furniture as well and I just love the look.

Enjoy!

All White Kitchens

I have been looking at so many kitchens lately to get inspired for a renovation I am working on with a client. I simply adore all white kitchens and there are many beautiful photos that I found on Pinterest. Whether it is modern, vintage or more traditional, white kitchens always look amazing!

Enjoy!

Bohemian Eclectic

I have shown this living room picture before in the Floral post here, but I wanted to show you the whole apartment as I find it so inspiring. There are so many elements that I would love to add to my home...like the rug, the rustic ceiling light, the steel stag head and the leather lounger.

The hallway looks great with the metal table and the two mirrored drawers on either side of the door. The bedroom has a cleaner feel but with a bit of sparkle. It is fun and eclectic with a bit of a bohemian touch throughout.....Thanks to Lonny Magazine for sharing another great home!

Enjoy!

Simple Beauty: White Decor

 

The simplicity of this cabin is so appealing. I am always struck by how some people can keep the minimal in their home and make it look stunning. I always put more instead of less and have trouble editing my home because I love everything so much. When I am in a clients home it is easy as I am not so attached to each of the pieces...so I am determined to simplify and this home is my inspiration.

Clean lines, modern furniture, white on white....no fuss and each piece becomes a statement...love it but could I live in it? What about you?

Enjoy!

Artists Loft

I wish I had lived in a loft at one point in my life because I think decorating and living in a loft would have been so much fun. I have an idea that when my daughter leaves the nest my husband and I will have an adventure and move into one.....mmm, we will have to see. In the meantime, I will have to find a client that needs me to decorate a cool, industrial loft space.

This one in Atlanta is the home of an artist that combines her live/work space in a beautiful way. What I find really appealling about this space is that the shell is really raw but the furnishings are more refined so it makes a great combination!

Enjoy!

Rustic Retreat

This gorgeous space is not a home but a luxury bootcamp called The Ranch! Thanks to Est Magazine, we get a sneak peek inside these wonderful, calm and peaceful rooms....which I think you would need after being out all day doing four or five hours of group hikes, daily yoga sessions and core and ab work. 

A bit if luxury with a rustic feeling, I think this is a place I could actually enjoy a week of detox!

Enjoy!

Jo Malone Offices

Lonny Magazine has another great issue out this month and one of the features I love is showing the offices of Jo Malone. I have been wearing a variety of Jo Malone perfumes for many years and I really appreciate the packaging, the look and feel of the bottles and of course the scent of the perfume. My favourite is Pomegranate Noir and when I wear it someone always mentions how much they like it...

When I saw the offices for Jo Malone it was exactly what I would have expected from the brand. Situated in an 18th-century Georgian townhouse in London's West End it reminds me of one of the stores which looks like the Jo malone packaging.....pretty, feminine and elegant!

Enjoy!

Interiors with Ikea Live

I think we have all had a little Ikea in our home at one time or another. I still have Ikea white couches in my family room downstairs and have painted and repainted an old Ikea dining room table (that I cut down to make a coffee table) over and over again. I really appreciate the simplicity of the designs and often go to look at the site Ikea Family Live to see the new ways people are incorporating Ikea into their homes. 

Below Monica has used Ikea throughout her home in Tucca Italy, to create a beautiful, easy space for herself and her two daughters. Using white allows her to mix different styles and materials and yet still maintain a unified space. She feels that white is neutral, light and stress free as well as being very practical and I could not agree more! Take a look at her pretty home here..

Enjoy!

Beautiful Modern

Love the windows in this modern neutral apartment. When I see a home with a mix of greys, beige and cream I want this palette all over again! Feel relaxing and easy...

Enjoy!

Interiors: White in Italy

Beautiful home in Milan with amazing skylights and floor to ceiling windows that reflect white washed wood ceilings and floors. The beautiful doors in the living area lead to a large terrace outside that is really a wonderful place for family or entertaining. Things I am loving: Shots of colour in the Smeg  fridge and bright books and the tulip table and chairs in the dining room. Also loving the sink on the wooden shelf in the bathroom! Isn't that perfect for a smaller space...

Enjoy!
