Vintage White Home

This is the gorgeous vintage home of Vanessa Pleasants the blogger at The Vintage Whites . It really is a wonderful space filled with worked wood and vintage items collected over time. Pretty lights in the kitchen and dining room add a warm touch to the rooms and that green is the perfect shade! Love the antique mantel in the living room paired with the vintage couch. Super cute home....

Perfect Party Home

This house looks like the perfect place to have a party don't you think? Amazing kitchen area that opens up to a big table and the back yard and a living room that does the same. So great with guests going in and out of the house moving around from one room to the other....The house is for rent through Light Locations and it would be wonderful for a photo or video shoot as well. Lots of light and well styled it presents so well.

Go onto their website to see all the photos of this house and the many more they have for rent. Gorgeous!

Enjoy!

Pins of the Week: Black and Gold

I am so into black kitchens, bathrooms and just about everything else including pottery. Not sure how someone that loves white so much could suddenly be so intrigued by all the dark decor out there but I am! I also love black when it is paired with white and when it is paired with gold. A touch of luxury to be sure.

For those of you in the US I hope you are all having a lovely holiday weekend and did not spend too much in the stores today!!

Adding Colour to White

I saw this apartment on Domaine Home and fell in love! That bedroom is so good! The Mora clock is such a great colour and the carpet in the room pulls the colour from the clock, so there is a wonderful flow. The accessories are kept to a minimum in this room but big impact is added with the ceiling and side table lamp both in shades of gold. I like how the blue from the clock is used again in the throw in the living room to keep the colour moving throughout the space.

This is such a good example of colour used in an all white space. I always say the beauty of going with white is that you can change it up quickly and easily with the use of great accessories and pops of colour here and there.

Brights and White

Pretty pops of colour in this compact apartment. Black glass backsplash in the kitchen provides great reflection along with the modern white cabinets. A great wall of closets behind the bed are a wonderful decorative element in the room as well. The apartment is for sale on Husman Hagberg if you are interested...another great real estate website.

Enjoy!

From Vintage to Modern

This house from Domino Magazine has it all from vintage to modern and yet it still works. Very eclectic with a modern tufted sofa and an antique gateleg table in the same room. Super modern sconces in the living room with a shabby style chandelier in the bedroom, yet they both feel like they fit well. I really love the kitchen with the great wallpaper and all of the gold touches. There is so much texture in this home, from the sheepskin throws to the cowhide settee and the amazing variety of rugs and cushions. Very well done..

Stylish Leopard

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!

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!

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!!
