So many pretty indigo pins this week. All feels like a cozy chambray shirt don't you think? I am particularly loving those tiles matched on the back splash...so gorgeous! Indigo and white checked floor....ah yes please! Enjoy your weekend!

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....

Such a pretty little loft in France with slanted roofs that give this space such a lovely coziness. Love the bathroom with the glass and the open plan and black accents. Wood timbers add definition to the ceiling and bring warmth and texture. A tiny kitchen in black provides good contrast in this all white space.
Hope you are having a great start to the week!

Bathrooms can look fabulous with a little extra styling. Even a beautiful renovated bathroom can use some extras to make it really special. Sometimes it takes a bold move to make it look really different and other times just adding that little touch is enough to give it that personal touch. Here are 5 ways to add style to your bathroom:
1.Add a cool carpet that you would not expect to see in a bathroom. The traditional bathroom carpet is fine but this makes it really fun.

2. Big white towels. This one is always guaranteed winner. Big fluffy white towels always make a bathroom feel clean and fresh. Fold them on shelves, in baskets or roll them and put them on the edge of the tub.
3. Add shelves....but don't fill them up with tooth brushes and shaving cream! Use them to show artwork, beautiful perfume bottles or something else decorative.
4. Add flowers or branches. I do this one all the time in my tiny powder room. I put the flowers in a small vase on top of a small shelf and it brightens up the whole space.
5. Add baskets under the sink or on shelves in the bathroom. I add rolled washcloths to my baskets for guests to use as individual hand towels. Looks great and guests love it!
Enjoy!

I am loving some of the green touches I am seeing these days. Green is a hard colour and can go wrong rather easily...a bit like red...but when it is the right shade of green it is fantastic. Check out these gorgeous greens used in just about every room in the house and some not in the house at all....

Now, it's hard not to love a rustic style kitchen. These have all the best elements of rustic style......wood, brick, rustic lighting, vintage accessories and even more. I love the wood on the ceiling in the first photo! Looks amazing with the subway tile don't you think?
Have a great weekend!

I had an interesting discussion with a friend about bathroom tiles last week.....it was around using large tiles or small and wall tiles or no wall tiles. Many of the bathrooms I have done have been with large clean white or grey tiles. With my last client we used tiles that look like wood and I thought it was an amazing choice to do something different and when I look at these tiles with all of the pattern and interest, I have to say why not do more like this. There are so many interesting choices right now for bathroom tiles that to stick with the tried and true is well.. a little boring don't you think? Would you be brave enought to use these tiles in a large bathroom and not just a powder room?

I showed the third picture in a post a couple of days ago and it got me thinking about interior courtyards. I love this idea of having an open space in the center of the living area. It creates a beautiful division in the property as well as opens up the entire home to a shadowy kind of light. Add a little garden or a lap pool and you have a incredibly special oasis.
Happy weekend all!

What is so great about this kids room is that everything is made with the child in mind. It is very pretty with lovely pale colours and it feels very carefree and creative. Everything is accessible for the child such as the low blackboard, the mirror, the little couch.....so adorable! Of course the new beds for kids are amazing as they transition so well from baby to toddler and beyond. I wish they had these wonderful styles when my daughter was little!

I have always loved a little bit of leopard in home decor and fashion. Twice today I saw leopard that really inspired me.....This coat that Giovanna Battaglia is wearing at fashion week in Paris is just stunning and so is the ottoman in the first photo...so gorgeous. In home decor it needs to be subtle and the same in fashion except when you have a coat or full dress it can be an amazing look.
Hope you are having a lovely weekend!
