Interiors: Gorgeous Design

When you have incredible architecture with tall windows and beautiful moldings you could add just about anything to a room and it would look good...but when you add wonderful lighting and the most sophisticated furnishings it really becomes spectacular! Such a gorgeous room with a wonderful kitchen and dining room. Love the mesh Eames chairs and dark wood in the kitchen.....and yes I would love to have that closet please!! It looks so cool to have the single bulb in the kitchen which is such a contrast to the rest of the room. Love it...

 Enjoy!

Beauty and Simplicity

It has been a rather difficult week in my life and when life events happen you usually take time to reflect on what is important. Living life with simplicity, an open heart and love around you is really all that matters.

The beauty and simplicity of this space really touched me and is especially meaningful at this time. It is lovely to see small collections in the home that are precious to the person living there and make a space special.

These images were taken by Mikkel Vang for Vogue LIving and it is worth going to see his website and some of the other wonderful images he has shot. A true talent for sure.

Enjoy!

Inspiration in White: Styling

With Instagram so popular you almost have to be a stylist to get your shots looking their ultimate best. I personally follow lots of photographers and stylists and each photo is like a mini magazine page. So beautiful!! I find bloggers are becoming amazing stylists preparing their homes for shooting photos for their blogs. I really love Dreamy Whites and how she styles and photographs her pictures. I also like to follow Stephanie Somebody and Nicole Herriot for wonderful photos on Instagram. Here are some styling ideas for your next Instagram photo whether it be at the dinner table, coffee shop or a detail in your home......

Enjoy!

Loft in Barcelona

A former carpet store turned gorgeous loft located in Barcelona has nice style and a certain cool. Great space kept simple but with fun design. Look at that amazing ceiling and the huge windows! Super lighting also with the mix of large floor lamps and ceiling fixtures. Big furniture pieces are really what is required here and the mix seems perfect to me. Nice bedroom and eat in kitchen make this loft space so great. What do you think? Could you live in a loft?

Enjoy!

Clever Cottage Bathroom

I really find this bathroom super interesting...I don't usually show just one room but it really has some fun details in it that I think are worth focusing on. Just the layout is well done, with the half wall in front of the tub and the vanity in front..very clever. Also the use of white as the base with dark accents in the taps, the tub and what about that tile! I am really loving these tiles and have seen a lot of similar tiles used lately in all different types of spaces..The shower is great with the two shower heads and it looks so great with the curtain. We so often see glass enclosed showers we forget how cute a curtain can look....and really the vanity made from a vintage dresser...sigh..what more can I say.

Enjoy!

Inspiring Vogue Interiors

I follow Vogue Living on Facebook and they always post the most incredible homes. This first photo is brilliant. I have a headboard this exact shape and when I am tired of the neutral linen I have it covered in today I could totally slip-cover it. I had never thought about that (despite the fact that almost every other piece of furniture has a slip-cover)...I also love the trio of glass lamps over the table and the rustic dining room as well. What about the view from that gorgeous bathroom with the center tub and wall to ceiling tile...oh so beautiful!!

Enjoy!

Inspiration in White: Laundry Room

Okay, now isn't the laundry room really one of the last places we think about decorating...but it seems we tend to spend so much of our time in there! It is not a place I like to hang out but if it looked a bit nicer maybe it would be less painful to do the laundry. So much fun to have a vintage looking space to do laundry like in these photos. Adding cute accessories is key...and of course a really good washer and dryer! Other good investments for the laundry room that make a big difference are: fun lighting (not something I would have thought about for the laundry room, which is strange because it is all I think about everywhere else in the house), a big table or folding space, a chair and some storage space!

Enjoy!

Chic Home in London

Oh this is one of those homes that I just can not get enough of! When I see a house like this I go over and over it to look at all the details. This is the home of Australian born designer Alison Henry who now lives and works in London. This townhouse in the Chelsea district, think rock star and socialite neighbors, is simply too gorgeous for words. Totally done in white, with white washed oak floors and pale silk carpets throughout, much of the furniture and lighting is designed by Alison herself. I love the lanterns in the living room and the amazing mirror on the stairs. Alison has four children running around this house and that did not deter her from decorating in white at all...even the children's rooms are done up in white! She has an incredible sense of style and has done an amazing job with this home!! Other London homes here and here.

Enjoy!

Swedish Interior

This lovely Swedish home has an unusual mix of colour with the brown and white. There are wonderful wood accents but the brown against the white is a great contrast. Not something I would do in my home..I prefer wood with white alone..but still very beautiful. Don't you love the living room fireplace! So gorgeous..really a very special piece that adds great impact to the room. I also love the moldings in the living room and dining room...The kitchen is super modern but fits well with this mix of vintage and modern finds. Here are a couple of other Swedish homes here and here.

Enjoy!

Magical White and Bright Home

The home of designer Ursula Mascaro is a wonderful mix where nature, crafts and exotic finds collide in a white and bright, magical space. The outdoor space where a wood bench is pushed against large stones looks great with big white cushions. Leather Moroccan poofs offer seating for guests under the shade of a beautiful apple tree. Inside a rustic table mixes perfectly with modern chairs. Love that there is a base of white throughout the home with wood and a great mix of gorgeous colour as accents. There is nothing planned in this home yet it flows so well and feels super relaxed and comfortable. This home is situated in Menorca and is opposite the port of Es Castell. What a charming place to call home...
