Inspiration in White: Potted Christmas Trees

Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...

Originally we were going to go away for Christmas with my family out in British Columbia this year but as it turns out we have decided to go after the holiday instead so.....that means I need to think about how to do my decorating and my Christmas tree! I do the same type of tree year after year......yes I love it but I need some fresh ideas. I have been looking for inspiration and one thing I am sure of is that I am going to go for a smaller tree and use my olive pot as a holder. I feel like having a more rustic look this year and I think the pot would look great with a tree as you see in the inspiration photos. I also love the fact that they are so simply decorated. I always have the feeling to put more decorations not less, but these trees are so gorgeous I think I will try to go for a much simpler look. I will show when I am done!!

Interiors: Swiss Mix

This home in Zurich was built originally in 1925 and was renovated recently to create this amazingly elegant and sophisticated space.  Steve Gambrel, a well known American designer that had done three other homes for the same couple, did a beautiful job. I love how the space still manages to feel cozy and warm despite being so grand at the same time. The dining room is really outstanding. I like the shiny beams on the ceiling and the tiled and mirrored wall on one end of the room. The long bench is such a great idea in this room and allows for a lot of guests to sit at the table ....simply gorgeous!

Layered Home with Pottery Barn

This is the gorgeous home of Pottery Barn Executive VP Monica Bhargava. Layers of textiles and decor fill each room brought in from her travels around the world and of course from Pottery Barn! I find it such an original space! Great mix of caramel colour with black and white throughout the home creates a unified theme but an incredible mix of pictures, lamps and home accessories keeps the eye moving from table to table, couch to chair. I just love the mix of lamps used in one space..not small lamps..really great oversized lamps! Finally take a look at the layered rugs in each room....Monica is a brave mixer of prints....check the zebra rug over the Persian rug. Perfect!

Enjoy!

As you know Christmas is only 23 days away and even though presents are far from my mind (I am one of those people shopping on Christmas Eve!) I know many of you like to be prepared (so smart). Presents may not be on my mind but Etsy is (check out my shop here) and if you are looking for original gifts this is the place to buy them! Everyday I see the most inventive and clever ideas that would make fun Christmas gifts. Here are a few new ones to add to your favourites....

Onstail

Love these cozy felt slippers in white of course!

Stationary Boutique

Pretty cards for Christmas and any other occasion...

Theme Fragrance

I like the simple jars and labels of these candles and I think this fragrance would be wonderful at the Holday time.

Simply Beautiful

Lovely 100 year old home completely renovated with simple yet beautiful details. The modern kitchen and furnishings are a great balance to the rest of the home with its curved archways and traditional exterior. I really love the doors out to the wonderful terrace in the back of the home. Looks like such a great place to sit and entertain with friends!

Hope you all had a good weekend! 

 

Enjoy!

Italian Farmhouse

Oh yes I do love this look...feels just like Southern France with a view that is pure Italy. The lamps, the bed and oh that kitchen. Looks like a Le Cornue stove to me! Wonderful tile throughout the home that adds just the right amount of rustic, don't you think. This lovely home is the work of photographer Enrique Menossi. I just love his work. Go and take a look at his website to see his amazing interiors or check out another home here on this post..

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!

Shabby Christmas Cottage

Well here it is, my first Christmas post! I know it is not even December and it is Thanksgiving Day for my friends in the south but it snowed the past couple of days so I am feeling like the holidays are just around the corner! This house is a great first Christmas post...too many good things to mention, the lamp in the kitchen, the painted floor, warm furs in the living room and of course..the tub! Loving the bathroom and of course the bedroom.

Hope you are having a wonderful Thanksgiving with friends and family..xx

Wonderful Walls

This house has great walls...well..and furniture and just about everything. What I really love is the grey colour on the walls mixed with the white trim (gorgeous!) and the colour of the kitchen is amazing as well. Then there are the beautiful wallpapers, grey in the bedroom (another one of those beds I posted about here!) and bright green in the dining room...there is so much texture in this house..love the double sided fireplace with the stove as well. 

Enjoy!

Inspiration in White: Room Dividers

An open concept home or loft is always beautiful but sometimes you just need to create the feeling or illusion of a separate space. There are so many interesting ways to divide a room apart from the usual screen and below are just a few I found. I love a really open divider between a living room and dining room or hallway....perhaps an open shelving unit or glass doors. For a little more privacy a curtain or full screen made of wood or even wood slats is fun and lets the light filter through. Shutter or old doors also look great for a nice vintage touch. I have been looking for studio and found a great open loft space today and I am sure I could use some of these ideas to help divide the space. I am looking forward to it!

Enjoy!
