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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 objectsErica @ Decoricahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15304196548234955302noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-402600251214521342.post-53817409959725188702011-06-20T07:00:00.000-04:002011-06-20T07:00:11.659-04:00Manly Monday: Masculine Living

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!

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.

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...

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.
