The simply beautiful, delicately decorated Turebyholm Castle

I saw this and I didn’t hesitate to grab my favorite photos and post. The description sums it up – “With a clear sense of style and true respect for the architecture, Winnie Mølsgaard and her husband Eigil have decorated Turebyholm Castle – a small rococo castle from 1754. The home is a refreshing blend of art deco and modern Italian furniture design, alongside antique pieces, hand printed silk wallpapers and original chandeliers. However, it is the serenity and the stunning landscape that Winnie Mølsgaard mentions, when we ask her to describe life in these enviable historic settings.”






This paper is just gorgeous





so pretty…

The moody, beautiful photography of Rodney Smith

These photos speak for themselves. You’ll notice a common theme of window, which for me speak of introspection, and waiting..waiting…waiting. The empty rooms also speak of being left behind or a time and place forgotten, or neglected. Atleast for me. Do these photos have a meaning for you?

Check out my guest post on Mochatini- featuring some modern rustic eye candy

I’m so flattered that Manvi over at Mochatini asked me to do a guest post for her blog. I’ve been a fan for a while and it’s an honor to be included!

My post featured The Crown – a 21st century inn in the heart of Woodbridge, Suffolk. What really makes this place special is the gorgeous, gorgeous interior design by Bentheim. You’ll see what I mean –

A great spring project that’s super easy and pretty!

For this great idea (and gorgeous photos), I thank Elizabeth Goodman, creator of the very pretty “To Be Charmed” blog.

The project’s star component is Japanese Washi tape, which is like a decorative masking tape. The tape is a fabric-like masking tape that comes in dozens of patterns, colors, and widths.




Some of these vases she’s created are actually paper cups!
Read her post for all the how-to details –

Some places to purchase the tape:

Some pretty spring flowers on my desk would really brighten my day! (hint to boyfriend)

A little tangent – some awesome design on the silver screen

I saw Sherlock Holmes a while ago in Boston visiting my friend Liz, and we both ended up drooling over more than Robert Downey Jr. Both of us being RISD grads, the art at the end credits left us in our seats while audience rolled out. Here are some great screenshots I found on Graphic Exchange. The end sequence was done by a company called Prologue, which coincidentally enough, another RISD friend of mine used to work for in LA. You can read about their process and see more concepts at the post on Graphic Exchange.

The board



Rachel McAdams was great in this role too – but I like all her stuff (a bit of a girl crush)




So, if you ever watch the movie stay tooned for the great work of art that is the end credits!

A beautiful, glamorous house to ring in the week

The home of Lizzie Bailey is sooo pretty, glamorous, clean, and crisp – I just had to share it with you right away. Bailey actually majored in English but found her calling as an interior designer while working (and doing a little photo shoot styling), at Better Homes and Gardens. As you can see, she’s found her calling.


The horizontal stripes in the entry way is just great. A smaller space is a great place to go bold if there’s a certain wallpaper or paint treatment you love but are too nervous to use in a large room. It helps create little nooks of interest.

Wasn’t that serene?

Images from a fairy tale

Happy Friday everyone! Tuesday and Wednesday sorta merged for me, and I don’t know where the week went. Anyway, I’ve had these images from an old ad campaign from Brunschwig & Fils, and I just love the whole enchanted look of these sets.

(CLICK ON EACH IMAGE FOR A LARGE VERSION)




I like the fireplace treatment in this one, I don’t know if those are real sticks lined up vertically or a screen with an image, but I have never seen it before and think it’s a great idea for a non-working fireplace.
These ads I first saw on 1st Dibs.

Small apartment? Small budget? This brooklyn abode should inspire you

If you aren’t familiar with the blog “Good Bones Great Pieces,” let me introduce you. They are a mother-daughter design team and the daughter’s first apartment was just featured in Traditional Home! I’m just going to show you pics from Lauren’s Brooklyn apartment.


The talented duo.


Lauren’s favorite furnishing is this old desk turned vanity she found on the streets of Brooklyn. I’ve lived in Brooklyn 3 years and have to say that you find the best stuff on the streets of NYC. Especially in higher income neighborhoods like Brooklyn Heights, Park Slope, and Upper East/West side. Just make sure you check everything carefully for “pests.”

This gorgeous dresser was passed down via Lauren’s great-grandparents.

Isn’t this place beautiful? Being that Lauren is recently out of college, and already has this lovely space to call home, I’m extremely jealous. Great work you guys!

A fun and eclectic home office…

…designed by the bold and fun Betsy Burnham. This is an office in a home she decorated, and was featured in Lonny Magazine’s 3rd issue, which is really great by the way.

I thought it had a really nice sense of personality, and it’s something I wouldn’t always lean to, so lately I’ve been into expanding my “design aesthetic horizons”
