I pretty much love everything about this warm and eclectic Chicago apartment photographed by Roland Bello. The color palette of olive, ivory, rich browns and black is so striking and I love the layered, European sophistication each space has. These are not interiors you put together in a week but are built up over time and travels {or at least I like to imagine them that way!} The quirky touches are also wonderful - the hard hat on the marble bust is so charming and hanging coats instead of a shower curtain in the guest bath is brilliant if you ask me!

And I think this cozy home would be just lovely for fall and holiday entertaining! Are there any details which catch your eye?

Wise Words!

I just love this quote and this image so much I had to share! Whether your style is minimalist or layered and collected - William Morris rings so true - just be sure to surround yourself with pieces you love and your interior will be a happy and peaceful place for you!

Happy Monday!

Trend Alert: Southwest Style

I know we have all been spotting a lot of Southwest inspired designs in fashion  . . . but what about for interiors? I love the vibrant, warm colors and natural textures but for me, it only works in small doses. I also love the contrast of a bit of Southwest rustic style combined with more polished pieces. Here are few images I thought were especially lively. 

What do you think of the look? 

Happy Weekend!

House Tour: Scandinavia Meets Asia

One of the most lovely things my time living in Singapore, is all of the Asian design and visual inspiration I have found here! I especially love to think about blending West and East {an old but such a dynamic design concept!} This eclectic row house in Denmark does a beautiful job of uniting colorful Asian accents with a mod Danish sensibility. The young family collected all of these treasures on their trips throughout Asia - I adore the fresh and global result and am certainly saving this as inspiration for our home! 

Love the mix of Western and Asian kitchen tools and pottery and the open shelving! 

A beautiful display of fabric and paper covered decorative boxes - what a wonderful idea for a collection! 

These basket and fans are just amazing! They look as if they could be Vietnamese to me, do any of you have a guess? 

I don't know what it is about those Danes but it seems that their style is just effortlessly chic! Do you love it as much as me?

Trend Alert: Quaint Floral Walls

They say what's old is new . . . and I totally agree when in comes to these antique looking floral wall papers! I love their grandma inspired, vintage look especially when mixed with the pieces from other periods. Do you like the look or is it just too fussy?  {I adore the bold hues and oversized scale of the paper above!}

And amazing in this bath above right? I think it makes the whole space! 

Would it work in your home?

Daily Detail 11.14

Sigh. . . I am so taken with this indigo and white rustic vignette! I can't decide if it's more Americana country or Scandinavian chic but either way I am in love. I want all of those blankets! What do you find inspiring?
