Design inspiration {the musket room}

 

Just a short time ago I came across a photo of the this beautiful space and just last night I came upon another, only this time it had some additional information..  The Musket Room in Manhattan is gorgeous!  I am so excited to use this space as inspiration for a new commercial space I am starting on.  It is amazing with the use of texture and light.  Perfectly perfect if I don't say so myself!

Happy Monday my friends!

Texture and light

 

What is there not to love about a sweet home in the snow...  I love the raw texture and the beaming in these spaces with the clean white paint.  A wonderful backdrop for just about anything.

greige mountain retreat...

I am completely in love with this entire home.  The soft colors and textures in the spaces are perfection.  Clean, simple and  sophisticated.  I could see myself relaxing here for sure.  You?

Texture and light...

 

Sometimes it is hard to see what makes a space really special and perfect...  here I can see it clearly.. the fantastic texture on the walls.  These look like block print molds and I love them!  The fact that they chose to hang them on the wood paneled walls makes it so interesting for me.  

Aside from this beauty... we are getting ready for our Holiday Giving Series here on the blog, I cannot wait to share some wonderful shops with you again this year!  

Happy Thursday!

Designers at home.. life in flux

 

So sorry for the silence for the past few days... it has been a little wild here and this coming week is going to make last week look like a cake walk!  We finally had some photos taken, by a real professional, last week and I snapped a few myself which could never compare!  But the kitchen was styled and the house was clean so it is always a good idea to check and see what will be seen through the lens..  I was thinking about it though and I realized that I, like I am sure many designers, live in a constant state of change.  We are always changing this or that - a chair here- pillows everywhere - accessories like crazy!  (I really do feel bad for my husband but what can you do!)  So this is my still my first table and chairs since the remodel in the kitchen... something new is coming though.

How about you- are you a changer/exchanger throughout the house?

For those who asked the chairs can be found here/the table is custom. :)

Natural beauty

 

I love that depth can be created with texture and interesting objects.  This is a perfect example and I love that marble cocktail table.  Eclectic and simple at the same time.

greige and gold...

I know we have all seen this beautiful Parisian apartment by Gilles et Boissier over and over... but when I saw this image in isolation I fell in love all over again!  I love the simple clean lines mixed with the details of the doors, walls and the mirrors.  The dark wood.  The white sofa.  The greige rug.

Love. Love. Love.

Visual inspiration

 

A little visual inspiration for a Wednesday morning..  It is funny how a group of images can inspire my creativity..  The soft color and texture makes my mind race with possibilities..

Beach house inspiration..

Sometimes you just need to escape to a little beach house for some R and R.  I love all of the natural textures and white mixed with that pop of color...

Happy weekend!

Oh my...

 

Oh my... this space makes everything better..  I am going to vent a little... so please forgive me..

Please please everyone remember that every site and every blog has a person behind it or people.  Real people!  People who are hurt by anything rude or inappropriate that you send around about them. Anywhere.  Especially via email, these come right to the inbox- right here on my computer {hello}!  If you are going to take the time to write something and hit the send or post button you should at the very least sign it and realize that I will have a way to contact you maybe even with your very own email address.  So once again if you don't have anything nice to say please do not say anything at all, because to me and so many of us this is all very personal!  Be nice, there is no reason not to!

Okay now- is this room not totally amazing?  I love the color change on the walls I love the soft lines of the linen on the sofa and the combination of textures and pattern in the pillows.  This makes me happy!

Texture and Lignt..

 

Is this not an amazing space?  I love the texture of the brick with the curved lines over the windows.  Such a wonderful detail.  The fresh clean lines of the furnishings are a great way to offset the rustic ceiling in the space.

always inspired...

 

It seems an odd thing to be inspired by just interior design photos.  I love so many things and there are so many things that inspire.  Don't you agree?  I love the texture and the color combos in these pictures, those types of ideas carry through into design ideas and take shape in interiors.  Just some food for thought.  What inspires you?

Texture.. in design

 

Sometimes it is so hard to explain the importance of texture in design, it is such a necessary thing and I think it can often be missed.  The wood on this wall is just the beginning in this space but it is one that stands out.  I love that mixed with the rug and the cocktail table.  It makes us feel like a lot is going on even though the colors are limited here.  

Do you do texture in your home?  If so I would love to hear how you add it in to your design.
