Pins of the Week: Moody Rooms

This week on Pinterest there were so many amazing moody rooms. Black and white with a vintage mood that I really can't get enough of....this kitchen and the beautiful dining room (this is beginning to look like my post on branches!)..checkered floors and tall bookcases. Sooo good...

Have a wonderful weekend!

Best Beach House Porches

So what does it take to make the best Beach House porch? Well I would say you need to have 5 things....

First I would say you need the best view! Why be near the water and not see it right. Nothing better than looking from your porch out onto the ocean or lake...so peaceful!

Second you need a great place to crash...cozy seating and lots of cushions for me. I love the idea of having a big cushy couch and maybe a porch swing or a rocker as well..so relaxing.

Third has to be a good spot for dining. Someplace that you can add nice lighting and enough room for friends and family to sit with you.

Four would be a good spot to sunbathe...just to lie out on a long chair and catch a few rays.

Lastly I would want part of the porch to be covered. A nice spot to get out of the sun but still take in that amazing view. 

What would you need your dream beach house porch to have?

Fashion Designer Apartment

A lovely stylish bedroom from the home of former fashion designer Adrianne Vitadini and Veranda Magazine to lead off the post tonight. Don't you love the mix of antique pieces with simple modern furnishings! The use of these little stools, in front of the bed and then again covered in leopard skin in this living room, really adds a wonderful touch. I also like how the living room has been divided into two seating areas...both gorgeous. The dining room is a little more traditional that I usually like but it works in this space for sure.

New York Brownstone

This great space from House to Home has so many elements that I love.....like a wall of subway tiles! I really like that it has dark grout and the open shelves against this tile is so strong....and the theme continues into the bathroom as well.

The open living and dining room has a beautiful gallery wall and such a pretty fireplace. Great office idea wall with a light glass desk in front is perfect. Of course the little puppy in the pictures is pretty perfect as well..

Fantastic Home

This home for sale on Fantastic Frank has the best kids room! In fact the whole space is pretty cute but I love the simplicity and bright colours against white in thw children's bedroom....really great idea for books on the shelf! Fun mid-century furnishings in the living room and a perfect open space between the dining room, hallway and living area.

Montauk Hideaway

This wonderful home in Montauk is that of Vicente Wolf the well known Interior Designer and photographer. Such a beautiful home and so fresh with all of the white. I really like the frames on the wall in the living room and great layering throughout. What about that copper tub!

Cabin Decor

This little California cabin is all vintage and a cute little hideaway for two. This couple had to be creative in their redo of the house as it is only a rental.  Nice neutral tones with touches of yellow give a good accent for the wood panel walls. A cute little wire basket is perfect for the bar and a minimalist kitchen is brightened up with colourful accessories. Feels like the perfect rustic cabin decor to me!

Inspiration in White: Gold and White Lighting

I found myself very attracted to the mix of gold and white these days. I have been decorating an apartment that we are doing in gold and white and I just love it. I came across the photo of a bedroom (first photo) done by the Toronto designer Christine Dovey (go take a look at her work here) and went wow! This room is just perfect and one of my favourite rooms I have come across in a long time. The use of the gold and white ceiling fixture and the black wall lamps is gorgeous with the mix of wood in the bed....well it could not get better than this.

I began looking around at other gold and white ceiling fixtures (or just plain gold) and I find they look really fresh and add such a wonderful richness to a space. Take a look at a few here...

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....
