Inspiration in White - Christmas Tables

I am starting to think about how I will do my table this year for Christmas Day when the family comes over. I always do an all white table (of course) but this year I really want to add something different. I am not sure what that will be ( I will take a picture so you can see what I decide) but I want to add red or bring plants instead of flowers onto the table. Anyway, I have been looking for inspiration and I thought I would share with you what I found.

Enjoy!

Stone, Wood and White

This home of Atlanta based designer Bill Cook is not for the faint of heart. Filled to the brim with his collection of odd and beautiful objects, the home can feel inspiring and overwhelming at the same time! Beautiful details in the design of the home balance the feeling of luxury and comfort and certainly stir the imagination of guests that come to visit. The mix of stone and wood is certainly cozy and comes from the area surrounding this interesting home..

Enjoy!

Light Filled Studio

A former barn this property has been converted into a studio for photography. I have often seen these images on tumblr and absolutely loved them. There seems to be such a relaxing feeling to this location and it would make a wonderful spot for a full time home!

French Country Christmas

This beautiful 18th century farmhouse in France is the perfect backdrop to an all White Christmas. Lovely architectural details such as the paneled walls and beamed ceilings are well paired with the furnishings and accessories in the home. The sparkle of candlelight against the mirrors and the glass add warmth to this elegant setting. What a wonderful home to celebrate the season! Love it..

Enjoy!

Lonny- Soho Loft

This gorgeous loft in Soho was designed by Jarlath Mellett a former clothing designer. Mellet says he approached the design of this loft from a fashion standpoint paying close attention to fabrics and even the stitching details. Using a mix of vintage and modern pieces and mixing wonderful textures make this space feel like it was put together over many years. Keeping to neutral tones the designer was going for an earthy and romantic feel and I think he achieved it!

Inspiration in White - Holiday Doors and Windows

I love these windows and doors (and a couple of blackboards ) with a beautiful touch of green in a wreath or a bunch of pine boughs. It is so easy and fun to add a touch of the holidays with a wreath hung indoors or outside. Add a bow, some pine cones and a few berries and voila! So many creative folks out there!

 

Enjoy!

A Twist on Traditional

This gorgeous home has a very traditional style but is made new with modern and vintage furnishings. This is such a good example of mixing styles in the right way and creating a very warm and inviting space. I really love the pantry space near the stairs with a hit of red and the rough tiles and table. I also think the kitchen are is so well done alternating the modern counters with barn lights and table. A fabulous outdoor space is an added bonus for sure!

Enjoy!

Easy Eclectic

This is such a cute eclectic little home with chandeliers of all sorts hanging together, black and white tile mixed with wood and painted floors and wonderful vintage touches everywhere! I really love the little dustpan sitting against the wall in the first photo as if that was just where it was supposed to be. No pretension at all in this little house...just as it should be..

Enjoy!
