Sunny Pale Blues and Creams

This is the lovely home of designer Barbara Barry as seen in House Beautiful. Of course like all of Barbara's designs it is gracious, sophisticated with a touch of the unexpected. This dining room is the perfect example of this with the more formal lines of the room she has added an unusual chandelier that brings the whole space to life. I am in love with that dining room table! Just stunning! The rest of the house is bathed in neutrals and pale blues which look so chic together. A lovely home....

Tina K Home - Fall 2014

Each season I love to take a look at the Tina K Home catalogue...I always find it so inspiring and this fall is as good as they come. Warm purples and pinks with gold...love it! The styling is always brilliant and so are the locations for the shoot. Her line is full of great basics that are a must have and there is lots of wonderful Christmas goodies as well. I even put in my first holiday picture just to get you in the mood for the upcoming season...Is it really October already!!

Enjoy!

Fashion Designer Apartment

A lovely stylish bedroom from the home of former fashion designer Adrianne Vitadini and Veranda Magazine to lead off the post tonight. Don't you love the mix of antique pieces with simple modern furnishings! The use of these little stools, in front of the bed and then again covered in leopard skin in this living room, really adds a wonderful touch. I also like how the living room has been divided into two seating areas...both gorgeous. The dining room is a little more traditional that I usually like but it works in this space for sure.

Sarah Richardson London Flat

I love how Sarah Richardson designed this gorgeous flat in central London. So luxurious with incredible fabrics and large crystal and gold chandeliers! This kitchen is really spectacular with marble floor and backsplash in a beautiful oyster colour contrasted with a rustic wood table. So like Sarah to mix high/low so well. Sarah has a great website with all of her designs from her show and it is really fun to go through and get design inspiration.

Montauk Hideaway

This wonderful home in Montauk is that of Vicente Wolf the well known Interior Designer and photographer. Such a beautiful home and so fresh with all of the white. I really like the frames on the wall in the living room and great layering throughout. What about that copper tub!

Pins of the Week: Koushi Lamp

I have always loved the cotton pendant lamps inspired by the original KOUSHI LAMP by photographer Mark Eden Schooley. Of course the Koushi lamp is rather expensive so there have been many DIY and knock off lamps seen on blogs and magazines. I have to say this lamp would look great in my office so I ave thought more than once about getting one myself but it is something I can dream about for a future space for now.

The original is available here and a wonderful look a like is available at Bodie and Fou.

Have a great weekend!

Inspiration in White: Gold and White Lighting

I found myself very attracted to the mix of gold and white these days. I have been decorating an apartment that we are doing in gold and white and I just love it. I came across the photo of a bedroom (first photo) done by the Toronto designer Christine Dovey (go take a look at her work here) and went wow! This room is just perfect and one of my favourite rooms I have come across in a long time. The use of the gold and white ceiling fixture and the black wall lamps is gorgeous with the mix of wood in the bed....well it could not get better than this.

I began looking around at other gold and white ceiling fixtures (or just plain gold) and I find they look really fresh and add such a wonderful richness to a space. Take a look at a few here...

Designer: Windsor Smith

I have been doing research for a design project I am working on and I had the idea to go and look at the website of Windsor Smith for inspiration. Well I certainly went to the right place! This designer has really incredible taste and creates the most chic, yet livable rooms. Really an outstanding talent...I could live in most of the homes she designs and feel really comfortable. What I like is that she can design in many styles, traditional, eclectic or classic but manages to keep her own signature running through her work. She keeps a nice mix of modern mixed with antique or vintage and even her most classic homes never look stuffy. Take a look at a few of her wonderful rooms here many from here own home...

There is a gorgeous, simple white couch that would be great in my house and the garden furniture is so perfect...Check out her house here..

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

Enjoy!

Danish Cottage

This wonderful Danish home of jewellery designer Charlotte Lynnggard has been finished with the most luxurious and beautiful materials but what is most interesting is the story behind it. Every time Charlotte passed the cottage on the way to visit her mother-law, she and her husband would peer longingly at the home they refered to as the "Tea Rose House". Formally belonging to a Swedish actress, they finally bought their dream home and moved in on their wedding night. Renovating the home with a minimalist, light touch they have now lived there for 18 years. Beautiful home, romantic story....

Enjoy!
