A Beautiful Mix of Classic and Contemporary

Thursday, May 14, 2015

At first thought, mixing a classic style with contemporary would not be my first choice. This pictures prove me wrong! There is a sort of elegance in it that stuns me. 







It really brings out a luxurious side to decor. I am really impressed with the mixture of these two styles. Are you?

Balancing a simplistic but eclectic style

If you have a tendency to collect beautiful things and want to show them off, that doesn't mean your home can't be simplistic as well. Here's some great inspiration on pairing the two styles together:







Bedroom Seating

Monday, April 13, 2015

Decorating a bedroom doesn't seem that difficult but decorating one with a joined seating area can sometimes get tricky! Finding the right pieces that compliment each other aren't always easy to come by. 


Picking tones that blend well together and using accent pillows to tie them in is a great start.


For rooms that don't necessarily have  dedicated seating area, a bench at the end of the bed is a great alternative!


It's important to decide if you want the seating area to stand out or the bed. Which one do you want your eye to gravitate to more?


Sticking with comfort and serene is a great idea since this is your bedroom, you do want it to be a place that creates a calm atmosphere.


A window seat does double duty! You have a great seating area with plenty of storage underneath!

Small Spaces done right

It's difficult to create a roomy feel when you are limited on square footage. Here are a few examples of different spaces that I think are done well for limited space. 


A bedroom doesn't have to be large to be glamorous. You also don't need a lot in a bedroom to make it a bedroom! A bed and a side table will do just fine since this is a room for sleeping. Keep is simple with a touch of your personality to make it homey.


Laundry rooms can be extravagant or simple but making the most of the space you have is what makes it stand out. This simple closet doesn't look like much but it has everything you need.


An office doesn't require a room, a little nook or corner will do just fine! I love when paint is used to separate a space like this. Keep it simple and clutter free so it doesn't matter where in the home it is!


Closets are so personal. Everyone has different priorities for them and different needs whether it's shelving, hanging space, or shoe storage! When the closet is small sometimes you can feel limited to how you can design it to fit your needs, but this picture proves that you still can!


Sometimes a dinning room room table or a kitchen table aren't a necessary! If you don't have a large family, a dinning room might be a waste of space. This kitchen nook is perfect for small spaces and the extra storage on the side is a great bonus.


Powder rooms tend to be small, but what do you do if you have a tiny powder room? This one is done so well! With a skinny sink to give youroom to walk and a bold pattern behind the toilet, this space looks well designed even though it's super small!

Make Up and Space

My morning routine isn't anything special but I'm thinking of changing that. 


I'm trying to decide if I'd like it in my bathroom or somewhere else.


Unfortunately I don't have the space to make it an entire room, but I would if I could!

Sneak Peek: A Chicago Apartment with a Sartorial Approach. "There’s something about the routine of sitting down and taking time to get ready that seems so glamorous. I had my dad spray paint a plain white Ikea Malm dressing table a high gloss gray then paired it with this fabulous brass mirror from CB2 – such an unexpected find!" #sneakpeek

I like something like this that is subtle so if it is in my room it wouldn't stand out or look messy.


Do you have a dedicated space to get ready?

Subtle or Bold?

I'm in a pink and gray kind of mood today and was wondering what my readers tend to lean towards. Bold accent color or subtle ones? I sway back and forth depending on the color but when it comes to pink and gray I tend to lean towards to the subtle side.



Small Spaces - I chose this space because it reminded me on my apartment in Russia. Though much smaller than this, our living room functioned indeed as a space for living. It served as a family room, a dining room, and a bedroom. In this beautiful space, I love the rustic country dinner table that makes a bold statement in a very faminine, soft modern space.

The dilemma: You only have one spare bedroom but desperately need a home office. The solution: Consider installing a murphy bed in the closet to allow for both. Bonus points if you conceal your murphy bed behind glossy doors with cute hardware! Source: Caitlin & Caitlin Design Co.

Murphy Beds that actually look amazing!

What Kind of Bed Maker Are You?

Wednesday, November 26, 2014

As much as I love to say that I am a great bed maker, I tend to to not always be the best at it! Here are a few bed making personalities I tend to lean towards:


The Comfy But Pretty look. You partially made it, but let's be honest, you just want it to be easy to get back into when the time comes!


The Everything Has A Place look. You do it every morning, its part of your routine and you make sure it's picture perfect ready every time!


The It's My Bed And I'll Do What I Want or don't do anything look. It's a bed! Why make it when you are getting right back in?

The Tidy, Clean, & Simple look. You like it polished and clean. You border on the line of minimalistic but also love a hint of character.


The Pillow Happy look. There's no such thing as too many pillows, and you like them in mix matching styles as well! After all, who doesn't love jumping in a pile of pillows?

The Let's Do This Later look. Who said the bed had to be made? It looks better folded in a pile anyway!

Murphy Beds I Might Actually Use!

The idea of a murphy bed is a great option for those who are lacking in space, but it's hard to find one that actually looks comfortable! After doing some digging around, I actually found a few I might use:


This one feels open and elegant, but also looks like it would close up to look like gorgeous storage!


I love the two tone wall to make it look like a different space, and the indents in the side for shelving use!

This one is styled perfectly for a great bedroom feel, but I can imagine once it's put away the possibilities are endless what you could do with that space!

This one is perfect for a more modern feel! What would you do with that blank white canvas once it's put away?
