  • Refresh for 2015

    Refresh for 2015

    If you are looking for a way to refresh for 2015, I have a few products to inspire you! 

    Daisy Pillow in Coral
    Accent pillows are great for refreshing a space with a little extra color and pattern. They are affordable, low commitment design pieces, but make a great impact on a room’s overall style.

    Etoile Wall Decor
    Wall decor is a great way to fill dull and empty space in your home. Amp up the style factor of a room and bring an otherwise forgettable wall to life with these wonderfully versatile wall stars. Arrange all twelve on one wall, or group them separately throughout the home.

    Tribal Lamp
    One of the easiest ways to brighten up and refresh a room is to add a little light. This lamp not only adds just the right amount of light, but also lends a good deal of style to any space.


    Rose Window Rug in Grey
    You can elevate the look of a room without having to change anything in it when you add a beautiful rug. Existing furniture and accessories are given new life when resting on this gorgeous rug. 


    Shibori Boxes
    If clutter is keeping your space from being as beautiful as it should be, it’s time to refresh. Decorative boxes provide a perfectly stylish storage solution. Attractive and functional, these boxes will keep your table tops and landing spaces beautiful and clutter-free.
    Aluminum Spry Vases
    Another quick and simple way to refresh your home is by adding fresh flowers. Whether you pick them from your own yard or grab a small bouquet at the market, flowers are a fresh and natural way to brighten up a space. Vases and containers that look equally beautiful when filled or empty, like the Spry Vases, are a great addition to any room. 

    You can find all of these pieces at a Global Views retailer near you! Which one is your favorite?


  • Going Modern in the Bathroom

    Most would assume that going modern in a bathroom would make it look even more cold and sterile than it already does, but they haven’t seen all the options yet!

    The right lighting can make any room feel warm and plants get it a fresh look that bring a sense of comfort and color to the room.

    Using neutral colors along with the modern materials can give it that warm feeling you are looking for paired with some great mirrors makes it even brighter. I love that tile!

    Even with the darker tones for a more manly bathroom doesn’t have to look cold and miserable. It still looks modern and sleek with a hint of color and I love it! 
    There are some great vanity and shower tub options that are on Modern Bath that can help you match these looks.
    There's a couple of things I like about this room: large round mirror; the vintage wall hung vanity echoes the journey to all of the modern interpretations we see today, but is one of a kind - and those timber tones in a bathroom - sensational.
    You could even mix the modern with the vintage for a completely different look! It’s a great mix of new and old that comes to life when it’s together.

  • Dusting Off The Dining Room Table

    As the cooler weather is settling in and fall brings us indoors, I can’t help but think of all the holiday events and dinner parties that are coming soon! In preparation I am dusting off the dining room table and finding some inspiration to make it shine this year:

    Keep in mind that changing out your dining room doesn’t have to be a pricey event. A few candles, a cheap centerpiece, and maybe a few stunning linen chair covers can really change the ambiance of a room.
    Another option might be some fresh flowers and throw pillows to add a little color and life!
    Even just changing out the lighting can really make a room stand out. This chandelier screams for attention!
    Have some fun with it!
  • Patio Inspiration

    Patio Inspiration

    Where we live, it’s not uncommon for the deck to be off the second story and there be an open space or patio with a walk out basement. What to do with that open space can be a struggle for many!

    Here are a few ideas to get you inspired to use that extra space instead of wasting it:

    One of the most common reasons for it to not be used is because it’s constantly shaded and depending on when the sun gets around to it, sometimes it’s just plain dark and dingy. Adding a fireplace can make this unused space a go to for some warmth and comfort. This will also extend the life of your outdoor space!
    Screen it in! Keep the bugs out and enjoy some shade for a change. This will also open up the choices you can make decorating and furniture wise for the space!
    Make it a party space! Set it up for some great gatherings. This also doubles as a back up plan for outdoor parties in case of rainy weather.
    Add some storage. Make the space have usable storage for all your outdoor needs. Whether it’s under the stairs or along one wall, most outdoor spaces could use a little extra storage.
    Light it up! Take advantage of the beams and the under side of your deck and make it the ultimate setting. Whether you simply add curtains from the beams and or string lights, this place can go from drab to romantic in minutes.
  • Going Grey

    Going Grey

    There’s something to be said about the color grey, especially in a home setting. It isn’t too feminine and it isn’t to masculine. You can pair it with almost any color, and it leaves such a crisp clean look to it!  I’m a long-time fan, hubby is a little harder to convince.  He thinks it’s boring…sigh…

    In most cases, it goes great with keeping a room light and bright!

    Grey can be very romantic and calming in the bedroom. I can imagine this is a such a soothing environment to fall asleep in.

    Love the dark brown and gray

    We don’t hesitate to put mirrors in our bathrooms or entryways, but why not in the kitchen?  It can really open up a narrow or galley kitchen.

    Putting a mirror across a doorway can reflect new colors or textural interest in a room.

    Make it huge.  Mirrors are one of those things where I think bigger is better.  It will reflect so much light and add a lot of grandeur.

    Rooms for sweet slumber

    For some reason I have not been sleeping well lately. I wake up feeling anxious but I’m not sure why; so needless to say I’m a bit groggy. Maybe if my bedroom looked a little more like these I’d sleep easier…

    Love the quiet, clean design of this bedroom
