Catch me over on Canoe Design talking about my love of Tufted Furniture
So in the midst of not receiving emails & overlooking tweets I didn’t realize my guest post on Canoe Design was posted at the beginning of the month. *slaps self* Soooo head on over to see my Furniture Friday post but just pretend it’s a Furniture Monday 
.
I know it’s summer but I still love me some cozy velvet furniture…
It was the custom-made chairs draped in silk velvet called Deluxe Blue Crab from Gretchen Bellinger that caught my eye. How gorgeous and bright does this hue look? So rich and regal. Velvet can be dated at times but if done right, the correct selection of furniture as well as other add ons in the whole scheme of design, can make the textile just as modern and fabulous…
This masculine space with the chromes, gunmetals, charcoal grays & black wooden floors is amazing. I wouldn’t change a thing…
The same color scheme is carried on into the living room. Love the retro telephone on the side table…
Is velvet one of your favs?

Battle of Celeb Pads: Adam Levine Versus Jonathan Adler
Arranged around an inner courtyard one open living area with a view is where Jonathan Adler lives. He has an indoor fire pit, skylights, and a groovy Palm Springs–style pool pavilion. Lisa Gray and Alan Organschi of the Connecticut firm Gray Organschi Architecture were hired, in addition to Hamptons builder Carlos Routh. The landscape was done by Vickie Cardaro of Buttercup Design Group…
Love the wall detail and pops of color true to Jonathan’s aesthetic…
VERSUS
Now Adam Levine too has a fabulous view in the Hollywood Hills.
Classic photo of Dr. Dre framed. Love the velvet tufted sofa…
Benjamin Moore’s Black painted walls creates a moody space with Merlot hued accents …
That gun lamp is awfully popular and ironically sits under a framed photo of Tupac…
His celebrity iconic images doesn’t stop. A gallery wall of photographs featuring portraits of Kurt Cobain, Bob Dylan, and Stevie Wonder with Bob Marley…
So if you had to pick, which star’s home would you live in? For me, I’d pick Adam’s…

Lastly I love me some tufted headboards but not the prices of most. Check out how you can do it yourself on High Styling.
Remember when I posted these interiors…
I was in awe of this room for bursting with pattern and color. It just seems like a happy space. So imagine my thrill when I stumbled across the other half as seen below…
And I first talked about the banquette for it’s striped curtain panels so when I inspected the pic below I realized….hey, I blogged about this space before. The kitchen is incredibly bright and the mint & white palette makes this space great for cooking Sunday brunch. Such bright areas this time around. I think this “remember when” post should be a new series since I’ve done a few so far here & here .

Talk about a lovely mix of patterns…

The deco inspired wallpaper, zebra rug, Ikat/tribal lined canopy and striped pillows seems like a lot but I love it. Would I want it all for myself? Probably not but I can appreciate how the patterns are infused to create an explosion of color. One way to make it work is keeping the same palette. Black and white is repeated on the walls, floor and drapes. That’s the easiest way to mix patterns…
Boutique Indulgences: C.Wonder…
Tory Burch’s ex husband has an equally stylish store.
You know how much I adore mannequins…
Tuftedgoodness…
Lacquered finishes, gold trim, beautifully displayed jewelrycowhides (I hope faux) and luggages. What’s not to love.
What are these tufted circular ottomans called?????
First, check out that woodwork…
Grays is a neutral hue that looks fabulous when paired w/any color…
{via Lori Graham Design}
So yesterday was quite dreary and the other night we had thunderstorms (which I live for). But while commuting to work I noticed how lovely the tops of trees look against the gray sky. Made me think how many colors gray can be paired with. As much as black is my fav color, I feel gray is neutral enough but dark enough to make saturated hues pop. Just look…the above design I love. The black and white is ever so classic, but the pop of georgia peach is even better. The gray looks good with both tones…

I’ll take this chandelier for $200 Alex….
{via Birch & Bird}
Love burnt orange for fall and this modern decor is it. Velvety sofa? Perfect for autumn. By no means am I suggesting to switch your main pieces of furniture with the seasons because that’s expensive & just ridiculous. This image just screams fall to me….
Cranberry & gray is a much better pairing than black and reds because gray is less jarring…
Beautiful contrast between the gray & turquoise. You know me, I love my TURQ hues…
A nice little tufted gray and camel KITCHEN NOOK….
This dandelion chandelier & the BLUSH hued pinks that we seen in Jennifer Lopez’s home is so girlie. But I still love THIS vintage gray & pink room the best…

I love this look. It’s a little unexpected for me. When I think of grays I usually pair it with silvers and gun-metal. At least in wardrobe so to see it with gold and bronze accents is a nice surprise. I love BAR CARTS. Even if you don’t entertain, it looks so stylish to have your “spirits” on deck in such a fancy way.
A bright taxi cab yellow & gray color scheme…reminds me of THIS inspiration from nature. That backsplash is very bold. I wouldn’t suggest that if you’re planning on selling your home soon (unless you don’t mind changing it) as you will certainly limit the buyer pool. You want to stay as neutral as possible. (For more designing for resale tips, see THIS). However if you plan to stay awhile, I would completely personalize the space too…
