A couple home tours I like….

So I came across this interior on Nuevo Estilo. I like the pops of mustard and teal, the black fireplace, letters for decor, sitting nooks and vases with leafy stems.

Osborn Architects designed the following. There are some other rooms from this home circulating the net but these rooms are new to me…

Glass, wood and steel. I LOVE it and this is coming from someone who generally cringes as the sight of any wooden walls. The same stain of wood from the walls to the chairs & those fabulous lighting pendants create a cohesive feeling. Score a similar fixture here

Bringing the outdoors in, this is a different take on rustic. See the other two posts I’ve ever done on wooden walls here & here

Love the nightstand and the bright door hue…

I could totally see myself relaxing in this seating space. The hardness of the concrete walls is softened by the softness of the velvet chairs. That abstract piece is awfully nice too.

Color Inspiration can come from anywhere…

So many people have difficulty figuring out where to start when it comes to selecting a color scheme for a room. Just look around. Any and everything can be a source of inspiration. Nature is an even better option. See how well the colors of this beautiful bird works in this nursery? I also like how it’s a farm theme but isn’t corny. The COWHIDErug is a mature touch but works…

Friday Fashion Conversion…

This is a new feature I plan to do on the first Friday of the month but I couldn’t wait this particular time and decided to do it early. I’ll be showcasing you with a fabulous find in the fashion industry and showing how you can take inspiration from it and put it into your interior design….

Neiman Marcus

This taffeta Carmen Marc Valvo gown teal hue is the inspiration for the following interiors. Indulge…

I love the splash of color in only a few areas of the room that made a huge impact (window treatment & wall mirror).

One thing designers tend to do is keep from everything being matchy matchy. They do this by having completely different end chairs for the head of the dining room table. The curtain panels look like the same taffeta material as the ball gown.
