MIRRORED PERFECTION

Mirrors are a fabulous little trick for making a space feel larger, brighter... and adding that subtle hint of absolute glamour. Mirrored furniture has been popping up all over lately namely this dining table which I'm most excited about and have added that perfectly suited touch of texture and depth to these otherwise somewhat ordinary spaces...

NATURAL BEAUTIES

The juxtaposition between natural elements and glamourous pieces is forever intriguing.

This design style rides a fine line- and when execute correctly, turns out beautifully.

Theres all at once a sense of comfort, earthiness, and sophistication. To me it seems like a concoction for never tiring of a space...

yummy velvet sofas against unfinished woods...

luxurious furs and wools...

and classically glamorous elements like tufting against raw materials

COLOR WATCH: MINT GREEN

... not just reserved for your ice cream anymore, this subtle pastel is popping up all across the trend spectrum for spring. Fresh and fun, mint can certainly add a jolt of life to any space [or outfit]- even if its just in the form of a few great candlesticks!

this bookshelf is the perfect example of bringing a little color into a calm space without overwhelming it...

outdoor mesh balloon chairs? yes, please!

A SWEDISH RETREAT

Clearly a fresh new year has ushered in even more of an obsession with fresh, white spaces. This Swedish abode however, is different from your typical white space, and also that of a home whose pieces have been collected from around the world...

The cleanliness of this home provides the perfect base from the ethnic mixes of furniture, colors, and textures...

Its admirable the way that the homeowner/designer has enhanced the bones of this home with style pieces from so many different eras and cultures [ check out that blue chest paired with a parisian-esque chandelier and tropical tree]...

While originally this room did little aesthetically for me, it seems the fabulous chandelier presents itself as the ease and careless bit of the space - making is flow with relaxation and maybe even imagination.

while the view is undeniably the statement maker of this lofted area - that floor lamp made me fall in love...

PRETTY PASTELS

It has been an unusually long and unseasonably warm fall here in Minnesota [66 degrees yesterday!] Non the less, as per usual for the also weird weather we get here - we're supposed to have our first snow this weekend! While the rich colors of fall have captured my heart - theres something about that first snowfall that is just so soft and beautiful - much like that of these rooms...

SEEING SPOTS...

Call it spots, call it pony print, call it whatever you like... but I like it!

This print can wear so many hats - fun, exciting, clean, easy to put with a plethora of other patterns...

you may remember this room from the fabulous apartment of Canadian HGTV personality, Tommy Smyth

I think its just the perfect punch for a fun room!

THE PERFECT SHADE OF GRAY

I've seen this beautiful, glamorous, and girly home around the web, and I had to share it here. The shade of gray on the walls is so rich and perfect...

the pops of color are stunning...

and each finishing accent is so well placed...

but the living room is truly to die for...

FUR IS FABULOUS

I have been L-O-V-I-N-G faux fur this fall! Since purchasing a Michael Kors faux fur vest in late summer, I patiently waited everyday until the weather got colder to wear it, now... I live in it. I have [faux] fur in the bedroom too. A little fur certainly mixes up your living spaces, and warms them up for the colder months ahead...

I think I could just sleep on that black sheepskin rug, it looks so velvety

a little fur can be so luxurious...

A VERY HAPPY MIX

This summer... bungalows, farmhouses, and cottages have been whats on my radar. They are so quaint and sunshiney!

Whitewashed everything + the pink and green combo = summery perfection!  The owner of this adorable bungalow has managed to make the pink and green color combo in this room a very happy mix and not overly feminine.

the quirky touches here are endless, and definitely pieces that make this house a home.

a pink fridge + an oversize "keep calm" poster... yes please!
