A DECO DINNER PARTY

6595004567_7ebcaa5031

Do you have any fabulous New Year’s Eve plans up your sleeve? I’m always tempted to get away this time of year – run off to some beautiful destination (Paris? Fiji? Anywhere but here?!) to experience New Years in a more magical setting, but alas that won’t be the case. So I’m doing the second [...]

CLEAN + BRIGHT

6473421047_ce80645780

My decorating style is all sparkles when it comes to the holidays, but I also enjoy some quiet little moments around the house to ensure that things don’t get too out of control. This year, I think I’ll take some inspiration from a more natural minimal look to add to the mix… Bare branches adorned [...]

    Good advice..don’t get carried away! I love that window garland! I think I might do something like that over my kitchen sink window.

    I love this look for home decor. I have a jewelry stand that’s similar but it only looks good with a few sparkling items on it. From Brooklyn with love ~jen

    It is a wonderful editorial, and I would love to live like that myself.

    Love how simple and elegant it is – totally your style!
    I think that it is nice to see some simple inspiration…too many people can go over the top at this time of year.

    I’m hoping to create a big bare branch bouquet for my table with simple little ornaments and maybe a few tissue paper flowers. Simple and fresh feels really good for this holiday season.

WHEN IN DOUBT…

Ok, kids, here’s the deal. I cannot for the life of me decide on a sofa for my apartment. For a long time now, I’ve been dreaming of this one because I love the petite shape and how feminine it is, and it’s actually quite comfortable. But then I saw this one… And it was [...]

GOOD GOURD.

6297149453_17597f5393_o

When you live in an apartment without a porch or patio, there’s really no good place to place your Halloween pumpkins. I’ve basically got two options – put one out in the hallway (where I don’t get to enjoy it) or keep it in the house where lighting it seems a little silly. So I’m [...]

    That’s fantastic! Honestly, I’m not a huge fan of jack-o-lanterns, so I’d much rather paint a pumpkin to coordinate with my house. Next year…

    Painted for a client and papered for me. Come see some.

    Those pumpkins are so beautiful!! I love the idea of a little pumpkin bouquet. The white and black with some color mixed in. Who thought Halloween pumpkins could be beautiful.

    Also–love the nightstand in the bedroom pic. Looks like something that could be an incredible ikea hack!!

INTERIORS TO INSPIRE: REFINED BLACK + WHITE

Hi everyone! Julie here from Chapman Interiors sharing a beauty of a home today. Black and white is at once classic and bold; a unique combination really for a pair of neutrals. I can’t think of many others that can evoke such glamour! And this home is a prime example of clean and simple lines highlighted [...]

    I’m liking this color combination more and more as I learn and live design ~ and I love when the black is in the form of delicate lines and simple accents. Beautiful post!

    I can appreciate the simplicity of a blank canvas, but it takes a very skilled designer to use neutral colors and still spark interest. I think this is done very well here on this project.

    I was enthralled (with all the many interruptions of a day) by this posting literally all day. This town house is spectacular. Thank you for sharing! The ideas I gleaned are invaluable for a house (mine) I am redesigning.

    EEEEEEK! AAAAHHHHH! OOOOOOHHHH!

GEOMETRIC GLAMOUR

6185733868_513b1434fc

There’s something about geometric patterns that set my heart a-racing. Maybe it’s my type A hyper organized brain but when I see patterns like Kubus from Pierre Frey (used below in the curtains) I simply swoon… It may have something to do with the use of linen and gold too. Unfortunately, there’s nothing about Pierre [...]

    I’m dying over that white couch and the pillows that look like they were made out of a discarded Rachel Zoe vest!

BLACK + WHITE BOUDOIR

If yesterday’s post on Delfina’s pied-à-terre didn’t hint that this was coming, well, then someone wasn’t paying attention…  *ahem*. My current bedroom inspiration. White, black and gold. I am in love. The fabric will either be used for drapes or upholstering a chair I currently own that needs a little facelift. I want the shapes [...]

    Ok, so that fabulous white, black and gold fabric. I found it at a delicious little remnant fabric store I browse through now and again. I bought all they had, 20 yards, for $2.99 a yard. Can you deal with that?!?!?

    That headboard is the perfect mix of classic, masculine / feminine and edgy. Though I could love anything if trimmed with nailheads ;)
