mix it up

I just adore a good pattern play. Texture, color and print are all vital parts in creating a well-balanced room. These rooms are perfect examples of "mixing it up" done right.

Do you decorate with patterns that don't necessarily match but work together? I'm crazy about unexpected combos these days. They create a much more interesting space. Don't you agree?

this + this

My ideal kitchen would look just like this:

It doesn't have to be huge... just bright and airy like this one. Floors with character, ah! Maybe with a fun rug like my favorite one in my parents' house, only smaller:

Something about it reminds me of Jenny. I love how she mixes bright colors... so playful, yet sophisticated.

I just happened upon this lovely home. It's minimal and perfect! Too bad I can't read up anything about it. Any translators?

room to love

Meet Hanna. Her home is gorgeous.

Check - it - out.

Isn't it wonderful? 

sconce love

I love the look of a swinging-arm sconce. Whether they are flanking a mirror, fireplace or bed, this modern touch of lighting can be easily blended into any space: modern or traditional. Isn't that brass finish yummy?

APT LOVE

I am so looking forward to the launch of The Everygirl in February! Danielle Moss is uhhh-mazing, and her home doesn't disappoint. Danielle's Chicago apartment was featured in the January 2012 issue of Rue Magazine -- I'm in love.

Such a teaser. Who ever knew an apartment could look so beautiful?! I love every single thing about it. Perfection achieved! You must go check out the full feature (pages 68-81) here!

Color Crush | Tangerine

Pantone's 2012 Color of the Year is Tangerine Tango, and I am loving it! Dress your home in it or dress yourself in this yummy reddish, orange goodness...

eclectic envy

You may have already seen the home of Naomi Stein that was featured on Design Sponge. It is incredible and oh so blog-worthy. If you like color and mixing patterns then you'll really enjoy her home tour. I'm jumping on the bandwagon after Caitlin & Danielle both gave this abode their stamp of approval earlier this week. Take a gander:

Another bar cart like I've been on the hunt for…

See, wallpaper doesn't always have to remind you of Grandma's house. Gorgeous!

Do you spy a little CWD Textiles?

That La Fiorentina gets me every time!

Well done, Naomi! I am now convinced that you do no wrong when it comes to design.

white done right
