Warming up to Wallpaper

I've always been more of a fabric person, I think pattern and texture make any space. Lately, wallpaper has been on my mind and I think it would be a nice statement in a foyer, amongst other spaces. What do you think? I'm liking it more and more.

 

This China Seas wallpaper is what I have in mind...I like that it's a neutral, but has substance and style. I think it'd set the tone for our house, hopefully conveying a "come on in, we're casual, fun folks" feel.

Lighting Crush

This space was featured in the current issue of Elle Decor - I really like the mix of objects, textures and especially the lighting. The light fixtures are from Remains Lighting, which has a great selection and authentic look.

Monday Inspiration

I'm sure you recognize this entry way, it's one that you'll never forget after first glance. Well, it's always been one of my favorites - bold, playful and unique, designer Tom Scheerer nailed it {again}.

I'm planning to do a skirted table in the entryway of our house and I love all these images as inspiration.

Exciting News

Well, our long awaited search for a house is over...we found a place to call home! Pat and I are so excited and of course I'm beyond thrilled to get decorating...

Off to the home inspection this morning -- I'll have more pictures {of the inside} soon. Happy day!



Masculine Bathroom

This bathroom is downright handsome. A bit masculine, with totally clean lines and gorgeous tile work. Easy to picture it coming to life with George Clooney or better yet, Patrick Dempsey occupying this space - now do you see just how handsome it is?



Comfy Dining

I often catch myself day dreaming about a space like this.

Life is busy and people are always headed in different directions, so why not make a cozy space where you want to slow down and enjoy the simple pleasures. I could really linger here a while.

A Treasured Reflection

My brother and sister in law gave Pat and I a wedding gift we will truly treasure. An antiqued mirror that has the perfect shape and most beautiful disposition...we can't wait to find a special place for it. Right now it's in our guestroom/office and I love imagining what hallway or room it will soon grace...



Martyn Lawrence Bullard

The Martyn Lawrence Bullard Collection is brand new to Schumacher and I'm dying to go check it out. Very bold, textured and authentic {just like Martyn}.

If you aren't familiar with Martyn, he is an internationally known designer who was recently on the show Million Dollar Decoraters. Let's admire just a few of his incredible spaces...
