Room of the Week

It's hard for me to use the term "bathroom envy" anymore because we finally finished renovating my bathroom at home and I am absolutely in love with it. However, I do happen to love this particular bathroom. It has my favorite clean, crisp white elements to it that I think every bathroom should have, but the pops of color make it so different and fun. The curtains around the bathtub make it a special private space in the bathroom while adding a bright, bold, cool atmosphere to the entire room. Obsessed with the color blocking, too! I don't think a bathroom should be too crazy but I think this one has just the right amount of punch.

Room of the Week

Kitchen envy! I was reading the latest issue of Rue Magazine online and came across an article about a French couple and their stunning Soho loft. They described their style a "cultural mix" with Japanese, Scandinavian and Parisian influences. Overall their style was modern and eclectic and I absolutely loved it. The kitchen was my favorite room in their house, maybe because it was the simplest. I love the exposed brick wall painted white, the open cabinets and the metal chairs they have lining the island. But I think what really makes this room are the small accents of their personal taste placed around the room, making it their own. I love the owl perched atop the counter and the two pictures next to each other on the wall showing different types of butterflies and birds. It's definitely hard to mix different kinds of styles but these two made it work and the results were amazing.

Room of the Week

Bedroom envy! Storage is always an issue and finding a solution that's not tacky is usually challenging. I think these storage cubes that double as a bed frame are really cute and functional. They're the perfect place to store magazines, books, shoes and purses, leaving your room organized and uncluttered. And I wish I could take those bed linens and pillows and transport them into my room immediately. Beyond obsessed with that chevron comforter. I'm a major chevron fan. The mismatched pattern pillows are really beautiful too. I'm in love! I even love the light pink color of the walls! This is everything a 22 year old's bedroom should look like.

Room of the Week

For this weeks room of the week I chose something that is totally outside of my comfort zone in terms of my personal taste. With that being said, I seriously think this room is fabulous. I love how eclectic, modern and funky it is. Perfect pops of bright colors and cool patterns are everywhere you look. Who would've though you could mix florals and animal prints and geometric patterns and put them all in one room. It's a lot when you break it down but it just works so well in this space. Loves it!

Room of the Week

Remember a couple of months ago when I posted this bathroom. It was inspiration for my bathroom at home that we were planning on remodeling. Unfortunately that isn't happening anymore but a girl can still dream, right? Every time I see a gorgeous bathroom I think "...one day." I saw this bathroom and immediately fell in love. I think it's so luxurious but in such a subtle way. I think it has something to do with the never ending use of white. Everything looks perfect and so clean! The clawfoot tub is by far my favorite element in the room. I'm definitely storing this away in the inspiration files. Loves it.

Room of the Week

When looking for my "Room of the Week" I find myself gravitating towards bedrooms and kitchens the most. Probably because those are my two favorite rooms in my house, and where I spend most of my time when I'm home. I love to sleep and I love to cook (and eat). So now I'm trying to branch out and look at other spaces. This dining room caught my eye immediately. Everything about it is exciting and fresh. I love the oversized white-washed table and the mismatched chairs. Literally not one chair has a partner to it. Even though the room is quite busy, it doesn't feel too small. And it looks like a great place to entertain friends. Loves it!

I'm having kitchen envy! I typically don't gravitate towards modern elements in interior design. I find they can make a room feel a little cold sometimes, but not here. I love the lucite chairs with the bronze seat cushions. They're so awesome. At first I didn't even realize they had a back to them! I also really love those oversized drum lampshades. The pattern on them gives the kitchen such a cool vibe. 

P.S. I swear I'm going to have fresh flowers and fresh fruit in my kitchen every single day if possible.

Room of the Week

Everyone needs a space of their own, where they can get work done and feel inspired. I dream of the day that I have a house of my own and I can have a room just like this. Big and open with windows that let natural light pour into the space. I love the white washed wood plank floors. The glass topped white desk and the mismatched chair. Even better is the fresh bouquet of lavender sitting atop it. And the board in the back is great too. Perfect for hanging little bits of inspiration for those moments when you feel like you're stuck.

This dining room is just stunning. I'm completely in love with it. Usually I prefer something more traditional and pottery barn-esque but it's so glamourous! I can't help myself. Those lucite chairs and chandelier are beautiful and give the room such a light and spacious feel. And the floor to ceiling windows! They bring so much natural light into the room. Everything about this room is so fabulous. I love.

Inside Ellen & Portia's Home










How beautiful is Ellen Degeneres and Portia de Rossi's Beverly Hills home? I love their eclectic style and their 18th and 19th century pieces. Such a mix of highs and lows, vintage and modern. I absolutely love it.

Room of the Week

How beautiful is this kitchen? It's so sleek and modern! I love the turquoise ceiling and the stainless steel backsplash. You would think the stainless steel backsplash on top of all the stainless steel appliances would be too overpowering but it's not at all. Such a great idea but can you imagine what a pain it would be to clean that all the time?

Entryways






Your entryway is perhaps the most important part of your home. It really sets the tone for the rest of your house. These are just a few entryways that I love. Most have a recurring theme of being simple and organized.

Inspiration





My family is looking into redoing our upstairs bathroom. Right now it is very small. Blue and yellow. We're planning on putting a dormer on the house so it'll be a full bath instead of a half bath. I'll finally have my own shower! Anyways, I was looking for photos for inspiration and these were just a few that I found. We're definitely going with an all white theme. 

Seashells by the Seashore



Usually I'm against any decor that's blatantly obviously for a summer home, but in this case I'm all for it. I love the pure white and sandy color mixed with the cool blues. My favorite accent in these photos is the ladder holding shoes, scarves and even a dress. So cute. I love the way this looks.
