In the Details..

This is the home of Annabelle Kerslake who is the editor of the on-line magazine Fete. A wonderful open plan space offsetting dark furniture with white and cream. I love the Victorian letter holder that has a card from a photo shoot for the magazine as well as the silver stag head. A bird decal on the wall above vintage books is another of the cool fun elements in this home. The bedroom of Annabelle's daughter is especially cute with the white and pink striped tent over the bed and the ruffled bed cover makes this space perfect for any little girl.

So many beautiful details in this home and I think that is what makes any home so different and special...

Enjoy!

Contemporary Chic

This home, all done up in neutrals, is so chic and contemporary yet still very comfortable. Gorgeous textures and the mix of old and new pieces keep it interesting. Love the bathroom fixtures and the use of mirrors in the dining room. Pale walls blend with the floor and furniture to create a soft and warm space. Really lovely..

Enjoy!

Interiors: Swedish Collections

This lovely apartment in Sweden is full of collections, antiques, vintage finds and lots of humour! I really love the stork that you can see in the living room. Take a look at the collection of teapots above the armoires and in the glass case are the collections of sponge pottery and small animals...

Enjoy!

Inspiration in White: Stylish Stairways

I love the extra details you see in certain homes...you know all the forgotten areas that we don't bother to decorate but in certain homes the decor goes all the way... to the stairway! It is a really area of opportunity because it is usually near the entrance of the home, takes up a large amount of space and can look so cool without spending a lot of money! Just adding some paint or a cool runner can make such a difference in the look of the stairway and can complete add great impact. Take a look at a few that I found for you!

 A really cool runner in bright colours adds fun to the all white entry.

Painted blue and cream runner looks so good for a little French look.

A bright orange runner on white but with the added orange stripe up the wall. 

Another blue and white painted stair but with a wide stripe.

All white stairway is always good!

French numbers! Love it...

Pretty pale blue..

Numbers, numbers..

Enjoy!

Farmhouse Style

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!

Interiors: California Cottage

This is the home of actors Corbin Bernsen and Amanda Pays. A super comfortable and eclectic home that the couple, along with their four boys, have decorated themselves. Vintage flea market finds mix with new items from Pottery Barn and West Elm.

I really love the kitchen with the reclaimed barn wood cupboards and the metal school chairs. The concrete counters look fantastic as do the lights and backsplash tiles from Morocco.

Great hits of colour throughout the home make it a really cozy space..

Enjoy!

Beach House- Lonny Magazine

I was looking at some back issues of Lonny Magazine and came across this fantastic beach house in Malibu. First of all, I love California! Yes I would go to LA anytime. I have always had great trips there for work and for fun. Second, to live in Malibu on the water would be rather nice don't you think....? This beach house of designer Tobi Tobin really appeals to me not only because it is all white but it is such a great mix of old and new items that make this home very personal. Check out these photos and the video as well..

Enjoy!

Fresh Florals

I really cannot wait until spring.....is it warm where you live? Here in Montreal it is still cold and snowing (I am soooo tired of wearing boots) and all I seem to be looking at is florals in clothing and decor to get me out of the winter blues. There are many pretty florals in decor right now from fabrics to wallpaper and carpets and of coursejust putting out fresh flowers makes any room feel brighter. I have gathered a few florals for you today so I hope you enjoy!

Enjoy!

Interiors: White in Italy

Beautiful home in Milan with amazing skylights and floor to ceiling windows that reflect white washed wood ceilings and floors. The beautiful doors in the living area lead to a large terrace outside that is really a wonderful place for family or entertaining. Things I am loving: Shots of colour in the Smeg  fridge and bright books and the tulip table and chairs in the dining room. Also loving the sink on the wooden shelf in the bathroom! Isn't that perfect for a smaller space...

Enjoy!

Kitchen and Bath: Seafoam and White

This beautiful contemporary kitchen and bath are made interesting by the choice of colour and materials. Pretty seafoam with silver fixtures makes this kitchen feel fresh and light. Check out that amazing ceiling! A really fun choice of fabrics for the banquette matched with leather in a caramel colour. The bathroom follows the look with a touch of seafoam and darker wood for contrast. Very traditional yet beautiful..

Enjoy!
