Pins of the Week: Bohemian

So what does it take to have a fabulous Bohemian apartment....well plenty of colour and some prints for sure. A lot of random accessories put in slightly odd places and mixed with other odd vintagey (I am making up words now) furniture and a general disregard for a specific style of decorating....In other words a creative sense of what you like and are not afraid to go for it! I love these rooms!

Have a great long weekend all!!

The Travel Files: Resto in Mexico

When we were in Mexico this past Spring we saw some of the most inventive and creative stores and restaurants I have ever seen in any city...New York included. So much imagination and so outside the box! Cool places that drive trends in home design and home design that has influenced some of these places so there is a wonderful exchange happening between the two. This store, bakery and resto, all in one, has some fun design elements and great branding from the store front to the cups.

I will be sharing some of the inspirational stores and restaurants I find (not because I am traveling but because I am always researching) around the world. I hope you will get to see some of these places in person on your travels!

Enjoy!

Inspiration in White: Kitchen Hoods

Okay now this is not a subject we talk about much but it's a good one......what about the silly fans we all have in our kitchen above the stove! I know we need it but have you really looked at it? They rarely look good and so many people kind of ignore it....and leave the stainless steal boring old fan.  If you have a great kitchen designer though you can really make it interesting or at least unnoticeable...My kitchen hood is like so many where it is fully integrated into the woodwork and that is nice but some of these hoods below are quite lovely and even stand out in a good way...especially the brass one..lovely!

What do you think?

Pins of the Week: Copper

Lovely copper touches as we move into fall....I do love fall colours and the touches of copper everywhere in home decor these days is a nice change. It has been happening for awhile now but I am not tired of seeing this look. Cozy and warm copper tones moving into deep gold and reds are perfect as we start to see the changing leaves....how did fall get here so fast!!

Have a great weekend!!

Fantastic Apartment

I have talked about the site Fantastic Frank before and how they feature the most fabulous apartments for sale. They style and photograph each home so well and make it so appealing I want to buy them all! When selling your home it is so important to style to sell. Remember to remove personal items like photos and such. Keep the tones neutral and easy for someone to see their furniture in the space. If you have too much furniture think about renting a storage unit for a couple of months so you are not crowding your current home...you want potential buyers to see the space and too much furniture could be a problem. Do any small or necessary renos before putting it up for sale. You will be amazed at how much more you can get on your selling price and how much faster it will sell. 

Last year I renovated a clients condo for sale...in a market flooded with condos....we did a quick reno on her kitchen and two bathrooms and she sold it in a week! It really works so think about it before you sell!!

Simplicity Defined

Fall is around the corner (nnnnoooooooo!!!) and fashion is on our minds these days as we start to dress with more layers. I still like to keep it simple in fashion, a little classic with a bit of style and in decor the same always works....especially when it comes to tones of white fashion and white decor....Let me know what you will be wearing and decorating this fall!

Inspiration in White: Pretty Workspace

Some pretty pins to start the week. Loving these workspaces that have wonderful storage...some of it from Ikea no less. Very feminine with lots of inspiration boards and books with files and businessy things tucked away. I also like the tables with the sawhorse legs which I also did in my own studio. They look pretty well perfect to me!

Island Home

This is a dream home on Harbour Island and can I tell you it is....well I find it an amazing WOW! It feels delicate, beachy, refined, colourful and all white at the same time. The walls and ceiling are so perfect with the white washed wood and the great marble floor. The touches of coral throughout the home is so beautiful and what about the kitchen. Such a good idea to add that gold and white wallpaper. Really just perfect!!
