This bookcase is so wonderfully decorated, it's perfect.  There is a "full" feel to it, yet it is not cluttered.  The grouping of similar accent items keeps the look organized.  The color scheme of blue and white, with touches of black lend it a sophisticated beachy feel.  Oh, if I only had a beach house...

You've got a beautiful table, a set of plates, silverware, and chairs that you've just reupholstered...but something is still missing.  A little texture or the unexpected can make your table setting wow your guests. A little wooden stool - perhaps found at a flea market or antique store, gives a little height to a vase. Stone flooring tiles add texture as an unusual table mat. Glass

With the Holidays quickly approaching (they will be here before we know it!) you can never be too prepared to decorate your pad. What do you think of these unique wreaths?  Perfect for doors, over mirrors, or adorning any plain wall, they can add that touch of the season without overwhelming your regular decor. Lime green burlap - source Burlap - you can add anything to it, or keep it

They can be small, wide, square, round, tall, short.  They can have drawers, legs, cabinets, and mirrored tops.  They can be painted, distressed, sleek, or warm wood tones.  Whatever they are, nightstands are as unique and individual as the person that uses them.  Is your nightstand neat and organized, full of magazines like mine, or a resting place for all of your favorite things?

Cream is a soothing, calm and warm color.  It's great for bedrooms or any space in your home that you would like to feel "quiet."  Pair it with warm wood tones or painted furniture, gold accents, even silver.  Cream interiors can be feminine and frilly, or modern with a feminine vibe.  Anything goes when you use this pretty neutral.

Rainy days = the need to look at pretty stuff.  Enjoy :) Taking a stroll and enjoying the fresh air... Tea with friends in the sunniest room of the chateau... Beautiful details that make you smile... Simple yet exquisite lines... Soft color palettes and white painted furniture...

So glad today is Wednesday, just a little hump to get over before the weekend!  Any big plans? And how about this darling little cabinet?  A coat of white paint on the outside and a splash of green paint on the inside, and this is the perfect little addition to any room to get your spirits up. Happy Hump Day!

This walk-in closet is near perfect.  It's not too big, not too small, just right.  It's lit well and everything is accessible and   has a home.  I might add a little square or round ottoman to add some softness, but otherwise, I'm dreaming of this closet... What do you think?  Would you go larger?

Neutrals with touches of purple adds a little soft and soothing color... Splashes of pink and aqua make a feminine, yet bold space... Bold patterns mixed with shades of coral and hot pink still evokes a feminine spirit. However you like it, soft and sweet, a little sass, or over the top bold,  feminine can work for you and your own style.

Loving everything about this room....the color, the small picture above the bed, the lamp, mixing patterns and pillow shapes, and the shape of the headboard.  Perfection.  Would love to lay in this bed with a book.  I know, doesn't sound too exciting, but you probably get it, right? source                                  source source

This is fantastic.  It's the most clever storage solution I've seen in a long time.  The towels are easy to reach and look cool.  Plus, it's not taking up floor space. You could always modify it to fit your needs;  hang all large baskets if you have a big family, or if it's just you one basket will do, or if you have a larger bathroom you could hang more than 3 and insert some decorative objects

  Dark feeling rooms with lots of wood tones & grain, cool lighting, clean lines, and an overall masculine feel.  These interiors are stylish, yet not fussy.  Masculine living.

I have a lot of orange in my home and I love it.  Orange is warm, bold, contemporary, and even feminine.  Paired with neutrals like grey, it really stands out.  The curve and drama of this upholstered headboard is so cool, and made up in this fun orange makes it even better!

This room is refreshing.  The mix of light and dark wood is visually interesting, as is the marriage of modern lines (like the coffee table) and hints of traditional flair (fringed pillows, turned legs).  The wallpaper pattern is large, however the black and white prints with large white matting give the eye a rest.  The neutral color scheme lets all of the detail shine.

I saw this adorable and chic home exterior and wondered...what's it like on the inside? How is it decorated? Is it cozy and quaint, or remodeled into a modern open floor plan?  Original hardwood floors, or new sleek   polished ebony planks? This is how I envision the inside is like... How about a family room with rustic wood touches and modern lines... A little more modern in the bedroom, with

Every now and then I love a room all done up in pink and floral.  This interior is such a fun mix of orange, yellow, and pink.  The walls and woodwork are kept white, which gives the eye a rest.  It's refreshing to see some light wood used for the occasional tables, as well as mixing this light wood with the dark legs. I'd love to spend a day in this room, snuggled up in the window seat reading

Every now and then a room just grabs me, and this was one.  I was quite taken with this manly room - the abundance of textures and warmth is inviting and interesting.  This room definitely says 'come and stay awhile' and that I would. room design by Matt Costigan

Shopping for the past few weeks has definitely made me jumpy for the upcoming Summer months.  Everywhere I turn I see blue and white, stripes, capri pants, sun dresses, and cute outdoor serving ware.  Makes me remember my dream to someday have a beach home which I'd fill with a classic nautical feel.         What are you looking forward to most about Summer?

Don't have gorgeous floor to ceiling windows? Fake it with a leaning mirror.  Get that window look with a large mirror with panes.  A dark frame will add great contrast against your walls, and will guarantee that the piece will be an eye catcher. images via:  exotic interiors

What lovely little vignettes these settees and accessories make!  Pretty and dainty, settees are the perfect piece of furniture for one.  Just enough space to curl up with a book, a cup of tea, or a glass of wine. Personalize them with eye-catching accents such as colorful pillows!

This space is a great example of how mixing textures and elements in a space can create a visually interesting environment, even when using a neutral palette.  Metal, glass, and woods contrast with the light linen covered sofas.  The black ottoman stands out nicely against a sea of light off-white carpeting and fabric.  Structural elements in the room such as the paneling on the doors, large
