Modern Holiday

I love this modern take on Christmas decor (I mean antlers hanging from the ceiling?) but it is so much fun and so relaxed and really...why not right? The exterior doors with the simple wreaths and the tree make a really great statement for the front of the house. I can't wait to start decorating......

Enjoy!

Edwardian Cottage

This simply beautiful Edwardian home in England is really perfection! Where to begin... the stain glass windows, the moldings, the chandeliers, Mora clock and those panelled walls....wow! The smallish rooms feel much larger with the use of cream on the walls and white on those incredibly high ceilings. Yes, just so lovely....

Making Old Look New

The home of interior designer Hilary Robertson is all pale greys and pastels...very feminine with great vintage and modern finds. So incredibly chic and well put together this home in Brooklyn has a very individual touch brought together with a very sharp eye for design...love this place!

Raw and Refined

You may have seen a few of these photos from Daniella Witte's apartment on Pinterest or Tumblr but I myself had never seen the whole home until today. Daniella is a photographer and her keen eye is clearly evident here in her own space. An industrial style that manages to feel very refined by combining rough surfaces with cozy furs, black and grey with warm woods.

Inspiration in White - Chairs

Okay I am having a "chair" moment....or a "seating" moment actually. I am working on a project and am redoing some chairs and I am seriously obsessed with finding the right shape chair and the right fabric. I have been looking at chair after chair and I really love the old slipper chairs but can not find an old one to redo. I am also loving daybeds but did not find one of those either but found a chaise longue instead that has a similar look. I am having it redone now and will post the results when it is done. I have used some of the photos below for inspiration...

 

Enjoy!

Gingerbread House

I love this Gingerbread house in Sweden. The lovely intricate carvings on the exterior make this a storybook house that is warm and welcoming! The interior of the home has very light wall paper in many rooms that just adds to its charm!
