I am a huge fan of the bold, worldly patterned rugs at Decorative Carpets, and am loving their latest collection – Mar a Mar… Such a variety of influences here, I don’t know which would be my first pick! Aqua zig zags? Blue deco fans? Red medallions? If you’ve never browsed through their site, I [...]
For years now, this has been one of my favorite rooms for a variety of reasons… The apricot chairs. The silvery blue bench. The distressed wood coffee table. The fresh white sofa. And the little pop of pattern from those fabulous pillows. Well, if I can’t have it all, at least I can have these… [...]
I thought about putting up the most hideous room I could possibly find as an April Fools joke today… but that’s just not very nice, nor inspiring, is it?? Instead, I give you this…What might be my favorite room from the latest issue of Lonny. There are a few pieces in here that I wouldn’t [...]
Anonymous yum, just love that blue paired with the coral!
Anonymous I love this room…the stencil, the floral pattern…yes!

Anonymous oh so calming and relaxed… lovely!
Anonymous Love the details in this seemingly easy room. Also those fabulous Madeliene Weinrib ikat pillows. Love.
Anonymous i think an ugly room would have been funny
but thats just me!
Anonymous I agree about the bar love it…..
Anonymous I love this room, but can't figure out why I can't put patterns together. Scares me to death!
Anonymous So pretty! I love the rug the most!
Anonymous Love it! I'm itching for some more Lonny soon!
Anonymous I love the border as well — maybe they'll be making a comeback as soon?
Anonymous I love Lonny!
Anonymous I love the stencil too, but what about that window treatment hardware? It is perfect!
Anonymous I love Lonny. It's free and all of the sources are hyperlinked. The lamps and blue dotted pillows are great.
Anonymous Such a pretty room – love the color palette
Anonymous Such a pretty room – love the color palette
Anonymous Well, you have lectured us about the great aspects of green and turquoise together. So I, too, am in love with this room. Haha
Anonymous Love to see your take on ugly, I bet you would find some goodness.
I adore a good April Fool's joke and good interior decor.

When I woke up this morning, I knew this had to be the Room of the Week today… I stumbled on this room via Alkemie in the middle of the winter, and knew I would save it for brightening my mood when I needed a little dose of sunshine. With more snow on the ground [...]
Anonymous That room looks like a treehouse for adults. All I’d need is a bookshelf full of adventure stories, some Jasmine tea and you couldn’t make me leave. LOVE IT.
Anonymous Wow. This feels a million miles away, in a place and season I really, really want to be!
Anonymous this room is so gorgeous, looks so warm and exotic!
Anonymous So gorgeous, Cassandra! An amazing room, this one is my favourite to date.
Anonymous its so dreamy!
Anonymous oooo, I love this place. I have this photo in my safari vacation folder! It’s the Ngong House in Nairobi! So, so, pretty.
xo Isa
Anonymous Hello gorgeous!
Anonymous i wish i woke up in that room this morning! it look so refreshing!!!
Anonymous Oh man how much do I love this! The breezy curtains, the gorgeous persian rug, the balcony! It’s all so lush and cozy—makes me want to take my honeymoon RIGHT NOW!
Anonymous oh, can we buy a cabin or something and design it like this live there for the summers? this is so inviting! i want it!
Anonymous Oh my goodness! I would never leave the house!? Why would you want to?
Bambola x
Anonymous that room is AMAZING. are summers nice in that rainy city?! anywhere would be nice in that room…..
Anonymous utterly wonderful.
Anonymous What a BEAUTIFUL space! I gasped when I saw it…Ngong House. (Thanks to Blue Muse for pointing out the location.) Looks like a place I definitely need to be posting about in the future. Thanks for the inspiration!!
P.S. I adore your blog 
Anonymous Wow. Set me up there with an endless cocktail supply and a few good books and I doubt I’d ever leave!
Anonymous wow the ceiling is just beautiful
Anonymous How gorgeous is this room. I love the long fabric drapes and all of the natural light. Just beautiful.
Anonymous My kinda room definantly! Beautiful!
I love this room, photographed by Richard Powers for two big reasons. 1: I have always wanted to have a cool retro modern fireplace like that in my house (with ceilings tall enough to make it work!) and 2: those pillows. What a great way to take a plain sofa and add tons of character. [...]
Anonymous Loving the stripes with the neutral. It adds so much warmth and is still really clean all at the same time.
Anonymous okay, i love the staircase! that is amazing!
Anonymous Oh I love the way the staircase looks but I think I am right there with you that I would fall both down and up them! Heave forbid I had a glass of wine first!:) And those really are beautiful pillows.
Anonymous My couch is that exact shape. Thanks for the inspiration!
Anonymous I’m pretty sure those stairs aren’t legal in lots of countries – I don’t think you can have them in the UK as they are too dangerous. I definitely would hurt myself.
Anonymous that fireplace is so cool! what a great focal point, the stairs are great too, although i’ll take extra care, but for the sake of design it’s worth it!
Anonymous Mmmm.. It is a cool place indeed. Modern yet livable. Cool yet cozy.
Did you also notice the lush landscaping at the area’s entrance?
Wonder what kind of pictures would appeal to the owners. Wildlife in winter perhaps? Such posters will add the slightest hint of color, without altering that classic black and white theme.
Anonymous I love those stairs and want them in my house! Except I live in a one-story, so I’m not sure where the stairs would go…
Anonymous #3 All that natural light is amazing! I wonder if it faces east or west? Either way . . .
I’m a little late on today’s Room of the Week. I almost forgot about it! I think I’m seeing a theme here… via marie claire maison Funny how our tastes evolve isn’t it? I think my pendulum has swung from Hollywood Regency to … what do you call this? Designers? I hate the term ‘ethnic’… [...]
Anonymous I love it! Where did you find it, wondering if there were more photos of this great space. It’s beautiful.
Anonymous whoops! forgot the photo credit, and just added it to the post it’s from marie claire maison, but i don’t believe there were any more photos of the space (unfortunately!)
Anonymous Isn’t this one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s LA area houses? Hollyhock? The tiles are a giveaway. I think he was influenced more by Aztec/Mayan/Incan cultures for the tiles.
Anonymous oh! good point! i will have to do a little more research and see what i can find. the tiles definitely look more like the mayan/incan culture. thanks for the tip!
Anonymous Yes this is one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s creations – Ennis House 1924 – Mayan Revival. It is the most magnificant of his textile block houses.
Anonymous thank you anon! i’m glad i have some architectural experts for readers ~ i didn’t recognize this house of it context on the marie claire site. i will have to dig for more photos!
Because I know you’ve all been coveting the chair on the current issue of Domino… Now you can imitate the colorful and ecelectic style of fashion designer Matthew Williamson with your own rattan leaf chair from Wisteria. I actually think it’s a very cool piece in his dining room. It mixes it up perfectly with [...]
Anonymous that chair is gorgeous. Thanks so much for the blogroll spot! Deadline for the Home Tour isn’t until Sept 1 – can’t wait to see what you contribute – even if its only a tablescape I’m sure it will be fabulous.
Anonymous I am in love with that chair! I don’t think I would put mine in the corner even though it looks like it fits nicely. Great find! I loved your wedding week by the way. Great inspiration.
Anonymous My domino still has not come yet! I think my renter might be jackin’ my magazines 
Anonymous My old roomie had one of these chairs back in Boston. We had it in the kitchen corner and would mostly use it for taking fun pictures when we were drunk. She hated it but I wouldn’t let her throw it away!
Anonymous Boy that brings back some memories. My grandparents had an ORANGE version of the bottom one. It was hilarious!
Anonymous Do these count?
Anonymous i love that may of you have had versions of these chairs! laure, i think yours are a bit less exotic, but given a little makeover (bright green? coral? yellow?) they would totally fit in with the scheme! so fun
Anonymous The leaf chair is so so pretty, I’d love it for my own…
Anonymous I love the two fan back wicker chairs. They remind me of the chair my mom had for her vanity table in the 70′s!
Anonymous I liked those chairs, they looked a little indian-ish! 
I really liked the one with the colours, it was special
life is in the details. style accordingly.
I love this option and this space. Thanks for the resource for the pillows and lamps! Have a great Monday!
This is such a serene room. I love the pillows and the lamps. A great alternative to suzanis and ikats.
I agree! Lovely room. Casual and and chic all at once.
I love this room. It has a little bit of everything, color, pattern, texture…it also struck the perfect balance of being clean and modern while still being comfy and inviting…ahhh perfection!
The room looks like the perfect place to relax and catch a nap. I love everything about it! The details are perfection!
it's lovely – but it's the apricot that wins me over..
Obsessed with those pillows…to me they make that whole room sing!
Love, love, love the KUBA! As always your keen sense of what's beautiful is on point!
What a great room, thanks for pointing out the bench was blue, I was totally drawn into the apricot chairs and those gorgeous peonies on the table! Great pattern on those pillows, adds just the right about of pop to the room. Thanks for sharing!!
Hi Cassandra,
I left you a little bit of love on my blog today!
Hope it finds you well…
xx,
Samantha @PrettyLovely
Been seeing that pattern in a few places, thanks for sharing the name and info! I do love that it's a new graphic element. I'm not QUITE sick of ikat yet, but I'm ready for something new and different and these are beautiful!
i think this deserves – ahhhhhhhhhhh! oohhhhh!
SO BEAUTIFUL!
I love the bold pattern on the pillows ~~
Have a beautiful week!
xoxo Laura
I love the coffee table….

I love the pattern – just beautiful!! I also want to note that Zaire is no longer that country's name. Zaire was the name of the present Democratic Republic of the Congo.
What wonderful warm colors and textures!
oh, my god, sara – you've got me. i totally switched the two around! late night posting
thank you for pointing that out!! i'll switch it immediately!
This has been ONE OF MY FAVE pics of all time too!! The pillows are what caught my eye….I didn't know they were from Wisteria and I was so hopeful until i saw the price…
Ugh, I can't justify spending more than $100 on a cushion….darn!!

Local malls carry those kinds of prints and I love them!
I always love seeing other bloggers favorite rooms! cute!
Do you know where the image is from? I've had it saved forever, but I foolishly forgot to save the source. It is such a gorgeous room!
That rug/ carpet makes my heart SING. Any idea where it's from or what it's called…?
