ROOM OF THE WEEK 11.8

Pablo Paniagua

This gorgeous space has been haunting me on Pinterest – every time I see it I fall in love all over again! Which is why it absolutely deserves a Room of the Week title, and a full tour! I think by this point we can safely say that I’m a traditional glamourist at heart when [...]

    Cassandra- I love, love, love this space (as I pin each photo). It might be a guy thing. I swear there must be something in the water in Spain, because this is the second Spanish designers I’ve come across with an incredible design aesthetic. Thanks for introducing me to Pablo Paniagua.

    You’re right about the overstyling, it definitely needs a little breathing room throughout. Wow to that ceiling height, those windows and that raspberry couch!

    I love this room, I blogged about it a couple weeks ago. I think I mainly love color palette. I definitely agree it could use some paring down in the accessories department but I forgive it since I love the rug so much.

    I count eleven tables and not one with enough room to comfortably host a cocktail! Definitely over styled. That said, I love the detail of the yellow back on some of the neutral pillows.

    I think this space is really beautiful — especially the colors. But my eye is going every which way, trying to find something to focus on! I do think a little simplifying could go a long way in this space as it seems just a tad overdone. Still, lots of gorgeous elements goin’ on in here!

    Since I’m “all about curves” (arches, spheres, etc.) the geometrics give me pause…you could do “wonders” with it though…. franki

INTERIORS TO INSPIRE: A BLACK AND WHITE DANCE

071211+sdavidson+2

Most decor falls into a primarily feminine or masculine category, and while I’ve seen plenty of well-mixed spaces, none have been done quite like this… Curvy Corinthian columns welcome us to one of the sweetest living rooms this girl has ever laid her eyes on (PS, Julie from Chapman Interiors, here!). The columns are undoubtedly a [...]

ROOM OF THE WEEK 3.17

5534410891_f1a4bea29a

It’s time for some fresh, fun glamour for this week’s Room of the Week! I’m totally swooning for these adjoining rooms and the way the bright pinks + patterns are playing off each other while traditional pieces and modern lines mix in seamlessly… Do you recognize the fabric on the sofa? It’s a fun little [...]

Room of the Week 7.24

mod+mix+via+dti

I’ve been skipping on my usual Thursday ‘Room of the Week’ feature lately, so apologies for those who look forward to it! It’s just that recently I’ve been posting so many rooms that I felt it a bit redundant. But, I’ve collected up some absolute stunners (in my book anyway) that require the coveted title. [...]

    That room is incredible looking but not very practical for cooking. Assuming there is a fridge in here, its too far from the sink which is far from the ovens which is awkwardly placed around the islands. Such an amazing space Im surprised it doesn’t have a better lay out. But I suppose if your home looks like this, you are probably eating at 3 Michelin starred restaurants everynight :)

    agreed! the islands are WAY too far from each other! i’m assuming it’s to keep the space in front of the fireplace open. i wish i could see the other side of the rom, which i assume (or rather, hope) would be cupboards and a fridge (or two), etc etc. but you’re probably right… if this is your kitchen you might not necessarily be cooking in it every night!

    This is incredible. Some of the details remind me of an old apothecary. I work for this company called Designers Call in Santa Monica that is really good at taking rooms and redesigning them with fun mixes of modern and vintage like this, plus they are affordable.

Room of the Week 4.3

via+simply+magic

This week’s room is one of my favorites… it’s been around for a while, as it was featured in THAT issue of Domino mag with the “For Like Ever” poster on the cover. (Does anyone else feel like that was a day in Domino history?) Anyhow – Suzanne over at Simply Magic featured this room [...]

    definitely agree about the modern touches. and the OCD in me is screaming to rearrange the room a bit so that it’s not so heavy around the fireplace.

    but yes, i have this saved as one of my favorites too!

    I have to say “ditto” to this comment. Even so, I love the vibe and style of the room.

    i think we all have a little OCD in us to create a better balance in the room – it is very heavy by the fireplace, but who knows what the other side looks like…? i’ll agree with both of you on that one!

    I’ve always loved this room. And you are right. A great lucite table next to the day bed would be wonderful. After all, I would need somewhere to place my beverage of choice as I curl up on that oh-so-comfy daybed reading a good book (or magazine!).

    Hello! Thanks for your comment on our blog about the Oly daybed, and holy cow…that pink day bed in your post is to DIE for! sigh.

    Also, I do agree that the “For Like Ever” cover from Domino was a moment they have yet to repeat (sadly), I ordered that poster and have it hanging in my office right now. Love it! I’m adding you to our blog list, thanks for checking in with us! Kelie

Room of the Week 3.20

desiretoinspire+hallway

I’m fairly certain I found these two images separately… and I’m fairly certain that they’re from the same home! The hallway was featured in Desire to Inspire quite some time ago… … and if you look at the chair and the chandelier in the dining space, they look the same to me! Either way, I’m [...]

    I’m very impressed with your detective work, linking the 2 pics as the same house. Seriously–I bet you kicked but in that card game “Memory” as a kid.

    I totally agree that the photos must be of the same place. The hallway is totally WOW. Very bright and area with very neat architectural details. Love the shiny surface of the floor as well. Great find!

Room of the Week 1.17

jay+jeffers2

I started this post yesterday… and realized that I couldn’t find a single room that was truly inspiring me to post. How depressing! So I’ve ended up with two rooms by Jay Jeffers (he’s always my fallback!) that I wanted to put out there… Alright, now, class. What can you tell me about these two [...]

    The 2nd photo is beautiful. I couldn’t agree more about the 1st photo, too much in one space for me. The bedroom is serene and pretty!

    I do love the top photo, it looks so warm and cozy and the pattern drapes are stunning! It also makes me want to play scrabble for some reason :)

    Both are beautiful rooms. I’d have to pick the top room only because the light pattern on the wall would drive me nuts. I need symetry :)
