Interiors: Shabby Eclectic

Gorgeous shabby, eclectic details in this London home....packed with homemade, crafty items such as the patchwork blanket on the chair and bed as well as worn vintage items and a pretty Mora clock. A lot of different styles packed into one space but it is lovely all the same. I love the little table in the hallway and the two corniche that add to the beautiful architecture of the entry. Worn white floors and pretty shutters and I would say there is nothing dull about this lovely home..

Enjoy!

Outdoor Decor

It has been a slow start to spring here in Montreal with too much rain and not enough relaxing in the SUN!! I am really wanting to get outside and set up my deck with our furniture and plants...(please go away rain, wind and cool days!) I am so inspired by the great pictures I see these days of outdoor spaces with a wonderful table and chairs for dinner with friends under the sun umbrella or long chairs by the pool. I really like vintage inspired pieces and chandeliers outdoors.... bringing the inside feeling into the outdoors is always beautiful...all you have to add are the flowers!

Enjoy!

Bohemian Luxury

This cool hotel, Hotel San Giorgio (go check out their website, it is really great), featured in Est Magazine this month is situated in Mykonos, Greece. The hotel has a great relaxed bohemian style but still looks very luxurious and super stylish. It has the traditional all white interiors that you see in Greece but with natural materials to set off each space and there is a beautiful simplicity that I just love! So calm and relaxing to look out over the blue skies and water in Greece. I traveled there four summers ago and would go back tomorrow! Have a great weekend!

Enjoy!

Bright and Light Decor

This little bright apartment has such a great feeling to it with all of the pretty prints on the wall and the fresh light decor. Lots of pretty pastels throughout add a real warmth to the space. The kids rooms are adorable and feel just right for little ones. I am keeping my eye out for great kids rooms these days as one of my lovely clients is having a baby so I would like to have some ideas for the babies room. The little rag rugs throughout the apartment fit perfectly with the rest of the decor. A very sweet space for sure!

Enjoy!

Gustavian Beauty

On yesterdays post I showed one small portion of this incredible house. I have posted this same picture before on Tumblr and on Facebook and I finally found the entire home. It is so hard to describe this house....it is so spectacular in so many ways...kinda over the top....but if you look at each piece individually you see the most beautiful furniture, architecture and detail. I am in awe of all of these incredible pieces in one room...tooooo much! There is not one Mora clock but four...not one Gustavian mirror with gold trim but several. Each bench chair and table has wonderful detail...and then there is the ceiling....whew I am out of breath..Enjoy!!

Enjoy!

Inspiration in White: Daybeds

There is something so wonderful about daybeds because as it is an invitation to nap and I love to take naps! A cozy place to curl up with a book or to have a quick snooze with some lovely pillows and a little blanket could not be more perfect in a home. I really like the vintage daybeds in these photos but I also think that it looks good with a more modern twist as well. Daybeds make great replacements for couches as well and there are some good inexpensive options out there from Ikea and West Elm....or you could DYI one with pallets and mattresses. Really cute!

Enjoy!

Sweet Swedish Apartment

This little open air apartment in Sweden is so pretty. The whole living space is really in one room with a small bedroom and bathroom, but it is really well done. Pretty black and white touches with a lovely  modern kitchen and bright big windows that really open up the space in a great way. Just perfect for a single or young couple!

Enjoy!

Modern Mix

I really like the look of mixing modern with a vintage or industrial look and these Eames style chairs fit perfectly into this aesthetic. They would work so well in an office, in the dining room or kitchen and as an extra chair in a modern living room. I can see my future studio looking exactly like the last photo. My ceramics on the wall, a big lunch table with all white Eames style chairs and lots of light streaming through the windows. I would add a couple of vintage lights to this mix and it would be perfect! 

Enjoy!

Harmonious Home

The art of Feng Shui was used to create perfect balance and harmony in this home. Of course I find white homes are always peaceful and calm but this space has the added touch of an experts hand. Elements such as the easel were added to symbolize creativity and black was used to contrast with the white to show ying and yang in the home. From a decorating perspective I love the gold mirror in the dining room and the wallpaper with the contrasting black cupboard looks so pretty!

Enjoy!
