Beautiful in Bordeaux

This little townhouse in Bordeaux, France has been completely redesigned by Elodie the owner of the home. She has turned a small dark place into a fun and quirky vintage neo-romantic abode. I had shown a couple of photos from this house last week in this post but wanted to show you the rest. Each piece in the home is so well featured and the styling is just right.

Just love the entry with the dark blue half wall and the black and white floor. The open kitchen is great and I the love the lights....

Stunning Lake Retreat

Oh this is one of those homes where I need to go through each picture to check every detail! Love, love, love....The mix of rustic yet completely elegant style is something I adore and yet it is not so easy to do well in a home. This is the home of artist Dawn Raulet Hall that I found in Atlanta Homes and you can see that she has an artists eye for detail...check out the living room! An antique red trimmed love-seat mixed with raw stump tables, a twig rocking chair and a beautiful sculpture...who would have thought it could look this good?

The log canopy bed is just gorgeous and what about the bunk room!! Oh this house is very swoon worthy for sure....

Black and White Scandinavian Style

Serious chic style in this black and white Scandinavian home with gorgeous moldings and amazing windows. Little pops of color here and there make this a home I could totally live in.

Hope you all have a great weekend!!

Dreamy White Home

Such a pretty white home in L.A. that uses contrast throughout with dark woods and touches of silver. Great decorative accessories with ginger jars in the hallway (love ginger jars) and amazing styling on a glass and silver table with zebra stool below. The bedroom though is my favourite spot in the house....but what about that closet.... that is my kind of closet!

A Beautiful Home in a Renovated Church

 

This fabulous home is really a renovated church built in 1880. So well done with an amazing dining room in the porch and a gorgeous bath in the closet....so fun. Industrial lamps in black in the kitchen and dining area follow into the living room which is all done in warm neutral fabrics. Yesterday's post was all about adding a pop of colour and here it is again in the dining room with this bright neon pink chair! Doesn't it look great!!

Inspiration in White: Pop of Colour

This is such a great way to change up an all white room. Adding a pop of colour with some kind of accessory...a pillow, a rug or even a flamingo (??) really changes up the look of a room. What is so great about adding colour to white is how you can change up the look so easily. Add a bright pink cushion and when you have had enough just change it out for another bright or keep the room looking cool and modern with an all neutral look. 

Aren't these amazing rooms! Have a great week!

Farmhouse Style Loft

This is the home of boutique owner Anna Hillegass featured in Country Living Magazine. She owns this super cute store in Minneapolis called The Foundry Homegoods and her loft is just above her store. She loves to decorate her store and her home with great salvaged style.."I love older things that people have used and cherished," says Anna. "They have personality, character, and soul." I could not agree more.

Her father had bought this old foundry 30 years ago and used it for his own business. Once the neighborhood become hip and trendy she decided to open her own store and have her loft in the space. I love to hear stories like that....being able to live and work in a gorgeous space that you once played in as a child. Very cool..

Natural Home

This house in Sonoma has the most wonderful natural elements....stone fireplace, wood walls and vintage wood furniture. Super modern with tall windows and and a superb open kitchen all in greys, taupe and white. The best part is the amazing covered table outdoors with the big stone fireplace that repeats the same stone as the one in the living room. Also love the mirrored shelves in the bathroom giving the room reflection and space...beautiful!

Inspiration in White: Memorable Gallery Walls

We have all seen, and probably have one in our homes, pretty gallery walls. There are so many ways to make a gallery wall and there are some interesting ideas on Pinterest of how to install them and what shape they should take....but to do this in a modern way you really need to take a new approach.

I think the most memorable ones I see these days are a mix of frames, mirrors and unique items that create a story. What I love about some of these ideas is that the furniture or accessories that are below or around the gallery wall are integrated into the overall story. You can go very far with your wall if you take this approach and create something that has major impact in the room and shows off your style and personality as well. Here are some great ideas for you to try...

Bring on the Colour

Well if you are going to do colour in your home this is certainly the way I would do it! White, white and more white with a mix of many bright colours. Of course it is really the most perfect in the kids room....feels girly and fun. I think the bright rag rugs in the kitchen pull all of the colour together and give make the room feel casual and homey and the splash of black in white in the living room plays well with the colour. A pretty home for sure...
