Inspiration in Unusual Places

/

Inspiration can come from everything... We have focused on fashion before but inspiration is all around...Take these popsicles for instance. The beautiful limes, orange and berry coloring lined up in a white freezer. One may think, "Mmm... what a great treat on a hot summer's day." But next time, take a photo and use it as inspiration for coloring in your master bedroom. A stark white bed cover with some raspberry embroidering, adorned with plush velvet pillows to match and topped with a silk lime green pillow make this room pop.

Gold and black. This bike is such a showstopper! So why not use a showstopper for inspiration? Yellow walls with some lovely gold mohair for a lovely window seat. The coloring in this little nook is oh-so-inviting!

A day on the beach, clear blue ocean ahead and so many colorful umbrellas to provide a cool place to retreat. This light blue sofa with the geometric print pillows make this otherwise neutral room pop.

How-To: Create a Sunburst Mirror Wall

/

Sunburst mirrors make a big statement, over an entryway console table, hanging above a tufted bed upholstered in mohair. Glamourous and interesting, these pieces can stand on their own. What about creating a gallery wall of sunburst mirrors? Talk about a statement! This look creates a traveled and collected feel to the room. Mix finishes to make the wall flow and not look so uniform. This will help bring that traveled and collected feeling, it won't look as though all of the mirrors were purchased in a set or at the same place. Adding different sizes into the mix is a must for balance. Use mirrors with different visual weight as well; some that are more open and some that are tighter and more dense.

Inspiration in Unusual Places

Flowing skirts and simple color schemes make up Anthrolopologie's summer line and are perfect inspiration for our interiors.Crisp whites and a touch of blush pink add a whole lot of femininity to this outfit and rooms. Linen bedding makes this room as soft as this outfit. The flowing drapes mimic lines of the pleated skirt. A pleated skirt with an asymmetrical navy and white printed top gives this outfit a nautical edge. Asymmetry is used in the room above with a small and large plant on either side of the room. This dining room has that nautical feeling with the striped chair seats and the navy walls striped with white drapes. Both rooms are casual and classy.

The same soft pink skirt, paired with a bold red top adds drama to this romantic outfit. Adding punches of red to both of these rooms adds excitement and interest.

Show n' Tell - A Lovely Bathroom Makeover

/

For my sister's birthday in November, I designed a bathroom for her! I handed her a packet with the plans, paint chips, hardware and plumbing specs, artwork, etc. And put her on a path to give her subs precise direction to implement a darling guest bath!

We borrowed her Bombay chest from her entry for the vanity with instructions to paint it a high gloss white and top with white Caesar Stone counter, a vessel sink and tall gooseneck faucet from her local Home Depot.

Ta-da! We sold her the Venetian mirror from Alice lane, as well as the truffle colored glass knobs. Light fixtures, bath mats, shower curtain. The contrast is stunning! It's a black and white classical story with a shot of majestic purple! Va-va-voom!
