Paris Interior

I spent a lot of time in Paris last year for work and I always imagined what type of apartment I would have if I lived there. I would drive by the most beautiful apartment buildings and dream of what the interiors could look like and how they were decorated. When I saw this apartment, shot for Elle Decor, I said THAT IS IT! That is the apartment in my imagination with the high ceilings and wonderful moldings!! The flat is owned by the design team Patrick Gilles and Dorothée Boissier. So incredibly chic....

Inspiration in White

Each Monday I will be sharing a few photos of inspirational white details that I find in my research. I don't normally post this type of photo on Facebook and I find when you see objects up close and in detail it can give you ideas and let you dream.....

 

Enjoy!

Entryway Ideas

The foyer or entryway gives the first impression of your home so you want it to be fantastic! I had my entry redone two years ago and each time I come into the house I appreciate it so much. Adding a simple table, a painting or changing the tile can instantly make a difference.

Add a beautiful chandelier or a lamp.

I love this bench and the bookshelf.

Adding hooks for coats makes it so easy when you have kids!

This make a great statement!

Nice round table if you have the space.

Gorgeous with the painted frame.

Simple and beautiful..

Adding flowers or a plant is a great idea.

Enjoy,

Shabby Chic

I have loved Shabby Chic for many years and feel it got a bad rap as outdated, fluffy and expensive. I think this is a look anyone can do in their home and mixed with barn style, industrial, modern or traditional it can look updated and fresh. Rachel Ashwell is of course the Queen of Shabby Chic and I have some wonderful shots today from her website below!

Enjoy!

Boat House Beauty

I am loving this all white Boat House in Sweden that is a wonderful dream space for guests. Of course the open ceilings and the fact that it is floor to ceiling white make this space a perfect place for a relaxing retreat.

Indoor Outdoor Adorable!!

I once had a drawing class in a studio that looked like the first picture below! It was raining outside and we were happily working on our projects inside this most beautiful space. I have been dreaming of a studio like this for myself since then.  Any of these spaces would be wonderful for entertaining, eating, working or just dreaming for that matter! 

And last but not least, here is one of the little paintings I made on that wonderful rainy day. No Picasso, but because of that wonderful space it is a day I will not forget!

Enjoy!

Cottage By the Sea

This beautiful cottage by the sea, called The Hope House, is so fresh and beautifully decorated. I can just imagine sitting by the fire listening to the ocean like we do from the pretty house we rent in Maine every summer. This house is in Cornwall England and was built in the 1800s and has been beautifully renovated while keeping all the charm of the past! Love it!

All in the Details

I love this house in Copenhagen and what I like about it is that it is full of surprises. It seems that in every corner there is an object or color that is used in new ways that are amusing and fun! Even if this house is not your style there are some great ideas for decorating that we can take from Josephine's approach to creating a personal and warm space!!


1. Painted Floors - Not only have the floors been painted white bit with the added detail of diamond checks in two colors!

2. Adding Textures and Color - There are so many great textures and prints going on in this photo from the fur to the knitted chair cover to the vintage texture on the lamps and tables.

3. Imagination - The addition of the sign post between the living room and dining room adds fun and wimsy to the space. I love that the sign post is a paddle!

4. Vintage Details - There are a lot of vintage items throughout the loft that add charm to the space.

5. Materials - Using different materials such as the wood and metal brings more warmth into the space.

6. Color - Pops of different colors throughout the space make this feel young and modern.

7. Don't forget your pet - Each area is thought through to make it fun and clever even Rover's bowl!

8. Lighting - There is a lot of lighting in the home that is different yet carries a theme throughout the space. I am loving the pail lamps against the wall!

9. Forgotten Spaces - Even the stairwell provides an opportunity to add creativity and imagination.

 #10 - What would you add as the 10th feature you like about the space! Leave me a comment below and let me know!!

Enjoy!!

All White Space

An all white room is not for the fearful, or the family with three dogs and four kids, but it can be incredibly powerful. When done in varying shades, an all white room can be so inspiring! Painted in a bright white, a room takes on a more modern look and in creamier whites, a warmer more cottage feel.

I would love a white floor in my house but I also love the contrast of a dark wood against an all white decor. What about you? Would you be brave enough to go all white in your home? 

 

Enjoy!
