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!!

Industrial Styling

I really love the look of this apartment and the styling is just so perfect...So many small vignettes and each room filled with fun and clever details. From the blackboard and the cool prints in the living room to the perfectly placed boots and boxing gloves in the bedroom there is not a detail that has been overlooked. The grey headboard is such a fantastic colour and the trunk as side table all adds to the industrial feel of the space....very well done!!

Inspiration in White: Astier de Villatte

I love all white ceramics as you know....it's what I design and what I use everyday in my home. One of my first inspirations for my ceramic line was Astier de Villatte, and as I have mentioned before here,  I began collecting pieces on my travels to Paris for work. I came across this wonderful video on Domaine Home today and was so excited to see a bit of the behind the scenes of what goes into making the line and the inspirations behind their work. They are an incredibly talented group of designers and artists and I would love to have every piece of their line in my home and my office (mixed with lookslikewhite ceramics of course!).

Fantastic Apartment

I have talked about the site Fantastic Frank before and how they feature the most fabulous apartments for sale. They style and photograph each home so well and make it so appealing I want to buy them all! When selling your home it is so important to style to sell. Remember to remove personal items like photos and such. Keep the tones neutral and easy for someone to see their furniture in the space. If you have too much furniture think about renting a storage unit for a couple of months so you are not crowding your current home...you want potential buyers to see the space and too much furniture could be a problem. Do any small or necessary renos before putting it up for sale. You will be amazed at how much more you can get on your selling price and how much faster it will sell. 

Last year I renovated a clients condo for sale...in a market flooded with condos....we did a quick reno on her kitchen and two bathrooms and she sold it in a week! It really works so think about it before you sell!!

Simplicity Defined

Fall is around the corner (nnnnoooooooo!!!) and fashion is on our minds these days as we start to dress with more layers. I still like to keep it simple in fashion, a little classic with a bit of style and in decor the same always works....especially when it comes to tones of white fashion and white decor....Let me know what you will be wearing and decorating this fall!

Interiors: Glass Walls

If I was building a home today especially a condo or loft I would try to incorporate a glass wall. These are really brilliant don't you think? They let the light come through but block some of the noise and more importantly they add an element of design that is very chic. I think it would be great for a kitchen...you can see the action but your guests don't have to hear the noise you are making in the kitchen..the fan...the dishwasher etc...I especially love the black metal or the rough steel. Gorgeous!

Inspiration in White: Pretty Workspace

Some pretty pins to start the week. Loving these workspaces that have wonderful storage...some of it from Ikea no less. Very feminine with lots of inspiration boards and books with files and businessy things tucked away. I also like the tables with the sawhorse legs which I also did in my own studio. They look pretty well perfect to me!

Black and White in Denmark

Lovely home in Denmark with a black exterior that is really striking....what is it with me and black lately...mmmm must be my mood...but I just find it is a classic and when used in the right situation in a home can be so gorgeous. The pop of yellow from the chandelier is fun and the more fussy nature of the light looks good against the stark background. I have a chandelier very similar to this one in my hallway that I bought at the New York 25th street flea market years ago. Such a simple home but so well put together and photographed by Mikkel Adsbøl.

Island Home

This is a dream home on Harbour Island and can I tell you it is....well I find it an amazing WOW! It feels delicate, beachy, refined, colourful and all white at the same time. The walls and ceiling are so perfect with the white washed wood and the great marble floor. The touches of coral throughout the home is so beautiful and what about the kitchen. Such a good idea to add that gold and white wallpaper. Really just perfect!!

Beautiful Bar Carts

Everywhere you look in decor magazines these days there seems to be a bar cart of some sort set up in the room....the living room, hallway, kitchen...any small or large space seems to be the "ideal" place to put a bar cart. I prefer to set up my bar area in my bay window area. I never leave it there but just set it up as a bar when I entertain. I also set one up outdoors on a large wire plant stand to accommodate my guests that are sitting on the terrace. I like a bar cart that doesn't look like a bar cart...although there are some vintage bamboo ones that are so fun...but I like a table or buffet even more. The trunk in one of these pictures is a great idea and so is the metal cart..a fun and quirky spot for a bar.
