A little texture can go a long way!

You may hear designers talk about texture as one aspect that really makes or breaks a room. Visual texture, when done correctly, can transform a simple room into a unique eye catching space.


The brick walls, with wood floors, a comfy couch, and a woven rug all give you different textures that combined well together. Each one touches your senses in a different way but when brought together can create a truly unique feel.


Mixing wood, tile, and granite really makes this room feel that nostalgic sense of home with a modern twist of luxury.

There's something so unique about wood grain and mixing that with painted cabinets, glass, and stone really makes each item stand out!


Texture doesn't always have to come from major home upgrades. It can be as simple as adding wood to an already great cabinet and pairing it with wicker baskets and a fun rug. 


How do you use texture in your home?

Things I Envy

With all the remodeling going on in our house I am envying more spaces than usual! It's so much fun seeing what you had visioned for a room coming true and it makes you want to do so many more projects! If only we could leave the messy part out..

Gorgeous brick and wood!

this is almost exactly like the table i am ordering for our new home, it is fantastic, and the pictures do not do it justice, it creates a much more modern holiday setting and is so much more dramatic than the traditional 12 top rectangular tables

Brick & Wood

Although I haven't been in the rustic mood lately sometimes I find a space that has brick and wood mixed together so perfectly, I could imagine falling in love with the space and living there. Here's a few reasons why I love the mix:

I'd love to curl up on that chair and take a nap in the sun

It looks so natural and with the natural materials brings the neutral colors which makes it easy to furnish however you like!

It can really be dressed up to look luxurious! You don't have to go rustic with it. There's something about mixing it with some high end materials can give it a very classy look.

tufted headboard...getting one of these in the future! and love the simplicity of the exposed brick and wood floors with large windows...id love that

Not a fan of the red brick? White washing is always an option. It still looks amazing and can add a little brightness to the room as well. 

A beautiful transition between in and out...

Go all out with some great detail by mixing the brick and wood in the flooring! This look has so much character but it doesn't take away from the rest of the house either. I absolutely love it!

loft like office space design. Love that exposed brick wall.

Spring and summer mantel decorating ideas

Tuesday, April 15, 2014

My favorite part of decorating the house is bringing in small personal touches that make me smile each time I look at them, or showing off a collection I've grown over time. A great place to do that is the mantel, because nothing is permanent! You can change out a mantel like you would a shelf and make it the centerpiece of a room.

Here are some great ideas to welcome spring via your mantel:

If you are really open for change, painting your mantel and fireplace surround in a warm white is a great way to brighten it up for spring. Just make sure you are really committed if your surround is brick, as stripping paint off of brick is pretty darn tedious.


Loving this very clean and simple mantle with the white and gold accents.

You can't go wrong with a quote. Make it something you want to remember each day or your latest mantra!  Got a cool set of pottery or ceramics? Showcase it on your mantle.

Adding a chic mirror above your mantle is a great way to make the most of precious natural light and makes a stunning focal point.  The coral on the mantle is also a nice homage to summer.  I always like to decorate with natural objects whenever possible.'

Use your mantle as a revolving art gallery.  I have way too many prints and little pieces of art from my travels to have all hanging at the same time, so I rotate them every few months.  The mantel is a great place to do that.

Glamorous bathroom eye candy

I have a million deadlines looming and I'm in desperate need of a little escape.  One escape I indulge in a lot, especially during the winter, is a nice, hot bath. So, I thought I'd find some dreamy ones and share them with you.

Onyx makes me swoon.

I love the wall cladding in this picture. It really looks luxurious! If you are not a tile person or want to avoid grouting, cladding is definitely the way to go.



I would probably live in this bathroom if it were mine.
