    Dream home: Lots of natural light, architectural details, and beautiful colors

    A pretty and polished home from Studio McGee

    This house is pretty darn close to my dream house.  The large windows that pour in natural light, the molding, the palette in neutral cool tones with pops of color here and there. …sigh….

     

    The three images above show the formal living room.

    The kitchen and kitchen nook feature white and gray cabinetry and gorgeous marble backsplashes.

    This is the kitchen nook.  That herringbone backsplash is so beautiful.

                   
    I like the mix and match chairs in the dining area.  I’m not always a fan but I like it here.

    The dining room opens up into the beautiful great room.

     

    I really, really like the clean lines of the furniture used throughout the entire home.

     

    Lots of beautiful decorative pillows add softness to those clean lines a

     

     

    The color palette is so pretty!

     

    How amazing is the desk in the home office?  It also looks like I need to upgrade my office chair for a white leather high back beauty!
    I also like the contrast of the dark built-ins and the modern brass chandelier.
    What do you think about this house?

  • Mixing Pastels and Brights

    Mixing Pastels and Brights

    Usually when you plan out a room you know what color scheme you are looking for and if you are going for a more subtle look or a bold look. What if you wanted both?
    I’m seeing a lot of pastels mixed with pops of color on my instagram feed and I am loving it!
    Lovely colorful breakfast/ dining in the kitchen! Pastel blue banquette seating, Saarinen inspired table and blue painted chairs with a pop of brights in the art and light.:
    The fun part about using accent pieces is that if you change your mind later, you can grab a few new pillows or a painting and have a completely different room.
    Love how textures and prints are combined here, especially on the sofa - so many accents, but great together. apartment of Swedish designer Elina Dahl:
    It is so fun when two unexpected things come together to make something so unique and beautiful.
    This is my dream Lounge room, from the Mozi Cockatoo Lamp, Deer Heads and the Horse Canvas, everything just works, it's chic, and a bit kitsch. Just the right amount of colour, pattern and texture. ~Sarah Cockatoo lamp. I want one!:

    Sometimes you just need to have a little fun with home decor. 
  • 2016 Interior Design Trend: Pretty Pastel Interiors

    2016 Interior Design Trend: Pretty Pastel Interiors

    Pastel interiors inspiration

    If pastels are done right, I love them.  If not, I loathe them.  The need to be cool and sophisticated, not sweet and sugary.  Below is some inspiration I found for interiors that use pastels in a fresh and hip way.

    The super soft and muted tones in the rug and on the walls are like a breath of fresh air in this LA home.

    The blush panels in this dining room are made sophisticated by the sleek black dining room furniture.  The pinks and oranges in the rug are just different enough to keep the pastels from being too matchy matchy.

    Pale blue and gold are always a winning combo in my eyes, and since no other pastels are competing, the landing doesn’t look like too sweet.
    Usually the pink, sherbet orange and light blue together would be too much for me, but because the rug and settee have a time worn patina I think it works.
    What do you think of the blue door?  I think the subdued purple in the rug helps tone it down.

    This space might be a little too pastel for me, but I love that rug!

    Do you use pastel in your decor at all?  If so, how?

  • 2016 Color Trends

    2016 Color Trends

    There are always a wide variety of color trends each year and I have to say I love most of them this time! I keep seeing predictions of white’s and neutrals and some colors that compliment them very well. 
    Spotted! Our Mallory Chairs in Casablanca Geo Citrine They add the perfect layer of color + pattern.:

    Citrus colors said to be the pop of color this year that makes every home feel bright and airy.
    Love this color scheme. Thinking about doing more of a charcoal grey as the base color and then just throwing in some coral throw pillows and some white ruffled pillows to give the room some texture.:
    In addition to citrus, corals and and peaches are being picked as one of the most loved colors. 
    Custom Drapery - We’re always saying you should hang your drapery as close to the ceiling as possible, but being that curtain panels come in standard lengths, renters are often left with either short panels that end before they reach the floor or a pool of extra fabric thanks to short ceiling heights. Since you’re now working with a fixed height, it’s wise to invest in some tailored drapes perfectly suited to your home’s dimensions.:
    While white walls are still widely loved, high contrast colors are too like darker grays and gray blue’s.
    Pastels go really well with the color trends this year, so I see those being a big hit as well.
    What do you think of the color trends for 2016?

    Bedrooms I Adore

    There is something about a beautiful bedroom that hits home to me. It’s where you start and end your day, it’s so personal, and it’s a place of comfort.

  • Balancing Bold and Neutral in the Bedroom

    Balancing Bold and Neutral in the Bedroom

    Life is a balancing act! Especially when you start sharing your bedroom with your significant other. Sometimes there’s a time to compromise, or find a happy balance. How do you find a happy balance between neutral and bold in the bedroom?
    Neutral colors can be light or dark! First find out which one you each prefer. You can go bold with a neutral color by picking a darker shade, or added a pop of color. 
    Keep the neutral color scheme but go with a bold pattern! It could even be as simple as an accent wall.
    Pastels and neutrals go hand in hand! Although pastels may not seem like a bold move, you might be surprised how much a little pastel can do!
    Do you think you could find a happy balance between neutral and bold?

    Interiors for a light heart

    With our new little man in our life, our hearts are about as full and light as can be. I thought I’d try to share those feelings with interiors for a light heart. Enjoy!
