Beautiful in Brooklyn

Trudy Crane June 23, 2013

I first saw this home in the book Decorate by the wonderful blogger Holly Becker and I could not stop looking at it over and over. It provided me with some great inspiration for a project I have been working on for the past few months. So while visiting the site The Selby today I ran across this house once again and decided I had to share it with you! (I love the The Selby by the way. Homes of all sorts of wonderful creative people!)

This is the home of Lyndsay Caleo and Fitzhugh Karol who are interior designers and artists. What I am so inspired by is the way the home works as a whole.....how it feels entirely seamless with one room flowing beautifully into the next. The rooms have a natural, sort of artsy vibe while still being very sophisticated. The kitchen is just perfect for me..open shelving, big farmhouse sink yet it feels modern with the countertops and stainless steel. Oh yes this is really such a great space!

Enjoy!

Interiors: Creative and Eclectic

Trudy Crane June 12, 2013

This pretty home in London has some really great elements. I especially like the kitchen....great lights, a mix of wood and tile on the floor and really cool built in shelving! The rest of the home is very eclectic but again has some creative ideas going. The globes on the dresser in the living room make such a fun collection and what room isn't more festive with flags strung across it? I love homes that are naturally and instinctively put together...makes it feel really homey and easy going.... take a look at a couple of other eclectic homes I have blogged about before..

Enjoy!

White Interiors: Open Spaces

Trudy Crane May 7, 2013

Open style living in this great white home but what I find fun is the wood paneling or wood strips I am not sure....but it looks great. It really adds texture and interest to what is a very simple space. The wood floors and the wood used in the kitchen area add a nice contrast. The kids beds are just so cute in white washed wood and that little blue cabinet on the wall is adorable! So much to look at in each picture!

Enjoy!

Vintage Rustic Home

Trudy Crane April 20, 2013

This is such an unusual home I am not exactly sure how to describe it....Rustic for sure with vintage style lighting and furnishings...but it is kind of kooky at the same time don't you think. The kitchen is made up of recycled pieces of wood but it is the pattern, texture and colour of the wood that makes it so amazing. Each room has hanging bulb lights which I love but it the dainty one in the living with the fringed shade that is really sweet....What do you think of this home?

Enjoy!

Bohemian Eclectic

Trudy Crane April 11, 2013

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!

Neon and White

Trudy Crane March 15, 2013

Pure white is always a good idea but I also like to see a punch of colour and boy is this a punch of colour! Neon brights against pure white from floor to ceiling! This gives such a young and very fun effect to this space don't you think? I like that some of the surfaces are shiny (even the floor seems to have a bit of shine) and give such a nice texture. The mix of florals in the space is also so cool...

I think any neon against white could be so good in a kids bedroom or in a loft apartment.

Enjoy!

Farmhouse Style

Trudy Crane March 3, 2013

This farmhouse located in upstate New York was first featured on Decor 8 (love Holly's blog. Just bought her book) for Rue Magazine. The photographer Emily Gilbert (first of all she is amazing) really captured the spirit of the family that lives here...of course this type of home is really the kind that I love.. vintage collections (the zinc watering cans are great) and a mix of various styles that together create a wonderful and comfortable space.

Enjoy!

Designer Home

Trudy Crane February 17, 2013

I really like Rue Magazine and the latest issue has got some great homes and ideas.

This months feature is on designer Caitlin Flemming. The home that she decorated below is actually the home of her mother and their collaboration was obviously a labour of love..and great taste. So simple... but the pieces! The gorgeous mirror in the living room, the armoire in the dining room and of course the amazing antique bed (I am afraid I would have to paint that bed white. I featured a really similar bed on Facebook in white and it is to die for!).

Enjoy!

Interiors: Brooklyn Loft

Trudy Crane February 6, 2013

This loft in the center of Brooklyn was once an old rundown factory but this couple could easily see the potential through the dust and rugged finishing. They incorporated their furniture from Sweden and London mixing with buys from New York. The result is very fun, clean and eclectic set against white walls and the background of the city. Well done!

Enjoy!

White Beachy Cottage

Trudy Crane February 5, 2013

This adorable cottage looks like it should be on the beach with trails of sand coming in on wet feet! White from floor to ceiling with touches of colour the house has a wonderful relaxed feeling. Things I am loving are the simple sheet thrown over the couch as a slip-cover, the gorgeous beamed ceiling and the pretty grouping of mirrors on one wall and antlers on the other! The kitchen is great with rough wood cupboard doors and open shelving over the counters. Really just perfect..
