Vintage White Home

This is the gorgeous vintage home of Vanessa Pleasants the blogger at The Vintage Whites . It really is a wonderful space filled with worked wood and vintage items collected over time. Pretty lights in the kitchen and dining room add a warm touch to the rooms and that green is the perfect shade! Love the antique mantel in the living room paired with the vintage couch. Super cute home....

Perfect Party Home

This house looks like the perfect place to have a party don't you think? Amazing kitchen area that opens up to a big table and the back yard and a living room that does the same. So great with guests going in and out of the house moving around from one room to the other....The house is for rent through Light Locations and it would be wonderful for a photo or video shoot as well. Lots of light and well styled it presents so well.

Go onto their website to see all the photos of this house and the many more they have for rent. Gorgeous!

 

Enjoy!

Pins of the Week: Christmas

My first Christmas post of the year with a few ideas for decorating the mantle and the tree. No I have not put up my tree yet and actually I have not done much thinking about it beyond these few pictures. I realized I had better get at it when I passed through Target the other day to pick up a couple of things and saw that the Christmas lights that I liked were out of stock! Now I am on the move to get ideas and I love what I see here. Isn't that a lovely simple table for Christmas. So Scandinavian in feeling...actually all the photos have a rather similar simple yet cozy feeling to them....check out my Christmas pins here on Pinterest.

Modern Greenwich Village Home

This is the Greenwich Village home of designing Ariel Ashe featured in Domino Magazine. Such a pretty modern home but with many of the original architectural elements that give it a bit of the old world feel. Nice pops of red here and there against a great black and white base. Love the gallery wall and the way she has done the curtains in the living room emphasising the high ceilings.

Hope you are having a lovely week!!

How to Style a Coffee Table

Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...

I change up my coffee table and console table styling very often. It is such a fun thing to do and makes the room feel fresh and new. Here are a few ideas to help you with your own styling:

1. Use a pot of flowers layered into the styling. I like to keep flowers either very high or very low. The height of the flowers depends on the height of the other elements in your styling. 

2. Use a tray to hold your styling together. I like to layer with a tray on part of the table and then layer outside it as well if you have space.

3. Layer with books. I like to have a stack of decorating or art books on the tray beside the flowers and then layer another piece on the top book.

4. Use a small dish as the top layering piece. I take one my lookslikewhite dishes and fill it with shells, marble eggs, small stones or any other natural element.

5. There are so many other elements to use in table styling like plants, statues, artprints, antlers, candles and so much more. Use items that have meaning to you and that make you happy to feature them where you can see them everyday!

Chic All-in-One Bathroom

You know the dream we all have of taking a rather large room in your house and turning it into the ultimate bathroom? Well this is what I imagine it could look like....subway tiles on all the walls, amazing black and white tiles on the floor. Love the shower space that looks like a rather large closet and of course there is the reading, library, shelving space in the corner. Certainly not traditional in any way, this is a wonderful makeover that has everything you could need. My only question would be.... why only one sink?

Small Space Style

This  tiny space is soooo cute and really perfectly decorated for the size. They have used some small size pieces like the couch and coffee table mixed with some oversize pieces for impact...like the large light in the living room. I like the way they have used the dresser at the end of the bed, almost like a footboard...a great way to add a dresser when there is no space. 

Have a great weekend!

J Crew in Paris

Next year J Crew (one of my favourite stores...love Jenna Lyons) is opening in Paris for Spring 2015. To celebrate this J Crew held a little party to preview the collection...well I love the look of the collection but what about this location! Sigh...yes another beautiful apartment in Paris with fabulous chandeliers and amazing marble fireplaces. The styling on that fireplace is nothing short of perfection!  Stunning!

Pink Friday

Pretty pinks this Friday. Don't you love this first photo with the gorgeous walls and fringe and of course that amazing pink couch! Pink looks good in any shade don't you think? I posted some peachy pinks a couple of weeks ago here as well.

Hope you have a lovely weekend!!

White on White

Oh this is one of those super houses I come across that I just love. Anyone that can do white on white this well is a star for me. Line Kay, who is a stylist and photographer as well as the owner of this home, has such good taste. (you must check out her Instagram ....swoon!) A bit of natural wood and accessories in wood tones break up the white but keep the right mood at the same time. The white wood floors are such a favourite!

Are you brave enough to do white on white like this?
