Want more?

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

There is something about the photographs below that leave you wanting to see more but they are so simple and lovely that you don’t really need more. Sometimes seeing more of a space leaves you disappointed. When I choose images for my blog I am always looking for the perfect shot and the perfect shot is sometimes just a corner of a room, the left side of a vignette or a shot of a lonely chair. I really do want to see more of the images below because I know that they are amazing spaces but sometimes its best to enjoy the corner and leave the rest of the image for the owner.

Remember this Orange mirror from last week? Well add 11 more and this is what you get. How fun is that! Drew from drew-o-rama has been collecting mirrors and decided to give them all a fresh coat of this gorgeous orange and place them in a grouping. I love the result.

Bathrooms

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

If I had to pick the hardest space to do a simple redo it would have to be the bathroom. Unless you have lots of money to redo the floors, vanity area, bath or shower you are pretty much stuck with what you got. That is why you have to be creative. New mirrors, shower curtain, paint, wallpaper and lighting to name a few can really freshen up a space. Here are a few examples and inspirations of some gorgeous bathrooms that might inspire you to give yours a face lift.

I love wallpaper in powder rooms. Shootfactory
A massive crystal chandelier adds glamor to any bathroom. Apartment Therapy
Gray adds warmth to this bathroom while the chest gives off some great textile.
I adore this color combo.
What a perfect contrast between the floor, tub and paper. Above 3 from Living Etc.
This is one fabulous bathroom by Holly Becker! haus maus
The shower curtain is a great example of adding a pretty textile to an otherwise normal bathroom.
My favorite bathroom of all times!
Adding a statement mirror and an accent table gives this room a lived in feel.
This is just fun.
Add paper, a whimsical mirror, chandelier and you get oohlala.
Another favorite of mine.
Uniting the floor and wall with a 2 color pallet adds major drama. The whole set up is gorgeous.
Simple and serene.
Another great mirror.
I love the black and white striped rug with all of the natural elements. Above 10 from Domino
Lovely wall of mirrors.
I thought this glass ball chandelier was so clever in this bathroom.
Another great furniture piece in a bathroom.
The green textile draped over the tub is lovely!
Try painting your floor a fun pattern instead of papering your walls.
The faux wood paper looks great next to the silver basin.
Another wonderful example of a papered bathroom.
You can never go wrong with black and white. Above 8 from House to Home

Painting your cabinets a dark mocha would give an instant face lift.
This shabby chic bathroom got its look from the mirror, pendants and the simple flower arrangement. Easy transformation.
Here is another view. Above 3 from Point Click Home

This flickr family picked a great paper for there walls.

Wallpaper Project

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

So my wonderful hubby hung wallpaper for me ( if you know me you know I can’t stand hanging wallpaper) Monday night and I absolutely love how it turned out!! I decided to go with a flock design in white with a light mocha background. It immediately gave our master bedroom a great focal wall that I can wake up to every morning. The wallpaper makes our room feel larger and surprisingly brighter. Thanks babe for being my personal carpenter!!!

Loungy Room

Thursday, July 10th, 2008

Everyone needs a room to lounge. A room where you can kick your feet up, keep warm snuggly blankets on hand, snack on some yummy ice cream while reading a good book or blogging :) . A room that can become stylishly messy with the things you love. A room like this!

Statement Pieces

I found a few pieces that I like to refer as “Statement Pieces”. They are the accessory or piece of furniture that put in a white room or muted room would make a big POP and totally change the rooms atmosphere. I LOVE statement pieces and the more I understand my own style the more I realize how much I adore simple rooms with one or two wild, out of the box items. For instance, a white tufted couch with a few cream textured pillows, a light cream and pastel brocade rug, 2 white tulip chairs and then add a bright red murano glass chandelier. Just having that single red chandelier will bring drama and style to that room.
You can turn a piece you already own and make it a big statement. My friends know that I love a spray can! If I’m tired of a bland color why not paint the whole thing a bright bold color. Turn a boring chair and make it look like you just bought it off of Conran Shop.
