Festive Home + Entertaining

I love this video on entertaining from Kinfolk Magazine and West Elm. So pretty and some great recipe ideas as well. (I don't know about you but I have not stopped eating for the past four days!) I have also included some lovely photos from Kinfolk magazine. I love the styling and the photography from this magazine. 

Kinfolk and West Elm for recipes

Enjoy!

Christmas in Little Italy

This swim wear designers beautiful loft in Little Italy in New York ( from Rue Magazine) is full of fun and quirky details that really give this home so much charm. I love the vintage finds combined with contemporary pieces making it such a personal space. The Christmas decor with branches by the fireplace and in the dining room add real drama to the loft and the garland hung throughout adds warmth. 

Enjoy!

Rustic Country Christmas

This creative home has so many interesting displays and uses each element in a new way that Christmas decor never looked so fun! From the hats displayed on the wall in the form of a tree to the framed wreath on the stairway I am inspired to try some of these super ideas in my own home!

Enjoy!

Inspiration in White - Christmas Tables

I am starting to think about how I will do my table this year for Christmas Day when the family comes over. I always do an all white table (of course) but this year I really want to add something different. I am not sure what that will be ( I will take a picture so you can see what I decide) but I want to add red or bring plants instead of flowers onto the table. Anyway, I have been looking for inspiration and I thought I would share with you what I found.

Enjoy!

Stone, Wood and White

This home of Atlanta based designer Bill Cook is not for the faint of heart. Filled to the brim with his collection of odd and beautiful objects, the home can feel inspiring and overwhelming at the same time! Beautiful details in the design of the home balance the feeling of luxury and comfort and certainly stir the imagination of guests that come to visit. The mix of stone and wood is certainly cozy and comes from the area surrounding this interesting home..

Enjoy!

Light Filled Studio

A former barn this property has been converted into a studio for photography. I have often seen these images on tumblr and absolutely loved them. There seems to be such a relaxing feeling to this location and it would make a wonderful spot for a full time home!

Enjoy!

French Country Christmas

This beautiful 18th century farmhouse in France is the perfect backdrop to an all White Christmas. Lovely architectural details such as the paneled walls and beamed ceilings are well paired with the furnishings and accessories in the home. The sparkle of candlelight against the mirrors and the glass add warmth to this elegant setting. What a wonderful home to celebrate the season! Love it..

Enjoy!
