    Feminine, glamorous interiors

    Loving this pink and gold.  I don’t know how much of this my sweetums would tolerate.
    If only my dining room was ever this clean and serene.  It’s being used as an office until Chris is finished with his masters, and promises that once he’s done the table will always be clear.  Time will tell…

  • Tour the home of one of my favorite designers, Angie Hranowsky

    Tour the home of one of my favorite designers, Angie Hranowsky

    I adore the work of Angie Hranowsky. She has more than a knack for using vintage finds in a way that is never stuffy, but eclectic and colorful. Her Charleston, SC historic home is no disappointment, and features her trademark style and livability.

    I can’t wait to fill my home with kid art, and the large pinboard behind the dining room table is such a clever way to feature it and change it out frequently.

    Angie gives great tips on making a rental your own, or transforming your home on a small budget:
    1. Paint everything you can, event kitchen and bathroom cabinets.
    2. Change out the light fixture.
    3. Invest in window treatments ( or make your own simple drapes out of a favorite textile)
    4. Hang artwork – Angie claims that incorporating the correct artwork is one of the most important elements of her design vision.
    5. Add natural elements, like a large plant of vessel of cut flowers to add warmth to your space.

    Angie designed the bookcase above and had a friend build it out of reclaimed pine.

    This peachy pink bedroom is so serene. The chrome bed keeps it from being overly romantic.

    If you’re ever in Charleston, Angie recommends you check out:

    Hyams Garden Center

    Mac & Murphy

    House Tour: The golden age of Hollywood, a glamor girl’s dream…

    Home feeling a little lackluster? This space by Sarah Gilbane should inspire some ideas for adding a little glam back in your home…

    The glossy stripes on the wall add glitz, while the grasscloth on the ceiling warm the space up a bit…

    The pendants are feminine, but not too girly

    Some garden stools add a bit of Chinoiserie to the more restrained library space.

    The bedroom’s color palette is what really makes the room traditional Hollywood glam.  Pink, black, and white…what’s more starlett than that?

  • Feminine, glamorous, sweet & pretty – what our homes could look like if he didn’t hate pink

    Feminine, glamorous, sweet & pretty – what our homes could look like if he didn’t hate pink

    Don’t get me wrong – I wouldn’t trade my man for the world, but sometimes…don’t you just want to paint your bedroom pale pink? Or drink your tea out of a gold rimmed cup and saucer everyday? Well, those of us who have to consider the men in our homes when making design choices can live vicariously through these ladies who have the freedom to make their homes as feminine as they like. I swear I can smell the perfume emanating from some of these. Enjoy!


    I LOVE LOVE LOVE this bedroom. Isn’t the bed amazing?!? It’s from the loft of lingerie designer Jessie Zinkie, who’s decorating philosophy is that “…of course, everything must be soft and comfortable.”

    What a sumptuous office chair…who thought an office chair could be sumptuous?

    So, turns out a man does share this bed with Jolene. God bless him – I love symmetrical nightstands – but I don’t think Chris would tolerate me being so anal for one minute.



    Isn’t this pretty and sweet mint green bedroom just the epitome of femininity? I had a mint green bedroom at one point and I found the color to be very soothing.


    What do you think? Is your home as feminine as you like it or do you have to tone it down for your man?
