What would you use your buffet table for?

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:







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!

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.

Going Grey

There's something to be said about the color grey, especially in a home setting. It isn't too feminine and it isn't to masculine. You can pair it with almost any color, and it leaves such a crisp clean look to it!  I'm a long-time fan, hubby is a little harder to convince.  He thinks it's boring...sigh...



In most cases, it goes great with keeping a room light and bright!

Grey can be very romantic and calming in the bedroom. I can imagine this is a such a soothing environment to fall asleep in.

Love the dark brown and gray

Unexpected ways to make your dining room chic and gorgeous

My dining room is one of those rooms that is visible from most other rooms in my home, so it's really important to me that it's easy on the eyes.  Here are some fabulous dining rooms, big and small that I would be more than happy to have as my own...

Dining room-by Meredith Heron The simple espresso-stained Parsons-style dining table can extend to seat up to 12 people. The plush upholstered end chairs and dining chairs are comfortable enough to sit in for hours, allowing guests to linger longer after dinner.

Loving this clean and chic dining room.  It is small, just like mine, so how genius is the floor length mirror at one end of the dining table.  I will definitely be trying that trick.

I'm a big fan of bench or settee seating at the dining table. You can put a bench on just one side or on both.


via Lonny Mag

Feeling risky? Go all out and get full bench seating! I would still have two simple mix matching chairs to put on each end to maximize the seating in this space but I love the idea.


How cool is this bench?  And those blue velvet chairs?  The chandelier is often the conversation piece in a dining room, making the chairs the focal point is a nice change of pace.

I LOVE the idea of combining a library and a dining room.  I grew up in a family that often reads and eats at the same time ( I know, I know...not always a healthy environment for books)

Bright and easy spaces

Here are some rooms I am loving these days. A touch of color, great windows, natural light, and a feeling of ease and comfort that makes you want to stay for a while.

Choose a Sunny Palette    Crisp whites combined with punches of bright colors immediately transport you to the coast. In this living room, aqua accents in the pillows, throw, and rug mimic the ocean’s dazzling blues, and the pops of bright orange are inspired by the magnificent hues of the setting sun. Whitewashed horizontal shiplap planking evokes the feel of old Gulf-front beach houses.
