Interior Designer Eddie Ross decorated the top of this china cabinet with beautiful vintage (-looking?) crystal cake stands. The visually light glassware makes a fantastic contrast to the heavy furniture. Almost like it is topped off with a warm breeze!

*

This home office was decorated by Anna Orfanides of Anna O Design. Just like Eddie, Anna vent for transparent glassware, but this time representing all sorts of peculiar shapes. I see at least one vacuum filtration flask and a separation flask. Let’s conclude that this is the office of a chemist.

*

Interior Designer Olga Adler decorated the top of this cabinet too. I love how she used three large objects. Simple, uncluttered and definitely stylish.

*

No one says you can’t bring in a bit (or a lot) of color. Color groupings like this catch your eye right away. Unless you are color blind.

*

Black & Spiro owner Anna Spiro decorated this tall cabinet to display a collection of beautiful blue and white ming-style vases.

*

Definitely cute!

*

Now tell me:

*

*

This gorgeous bathroom was featured in Architectural Digest. The tiles looks to be uniformly white with a gray spacer or grout.

*

This bathroom is designed by Lori Tippins, I remember reading somewhere that it is her own bathroom.  See how the daylight makes the floor glisten.

(Photo cred to Holly of Things that Inspire)

*

This is also a Lori Tippins design, and it proves that even a tiny window can give the shine effect.

*

This bathroom is designed by Catalano Inc and has a gray (or blue?) super glossy floor. The tiles looks to be square, not hexagonal, but gorgeous nonetheless. That’s not a modest sized window either.

*

This beauty is designed by Alicia Friedman. She used a larger hex pattern, and I think it looks absolutely gorgeous. What do you think?

*

Fun fact: After looking through these picture again it hit me what really attracted me to these bathrooms. It is the gorgeous contrast between the glossy tiles and the matte painted walls. Have I subconciously grown tired of tiled bathroom walls?

*

*

*

This is our actress in her gorgeous living room. Gwyneth obviously like her home light and classic with pops of pastels. On a side note, I adore her dress!

Here is another view of the living room. The cool blue sofas are balanced with warm  pops of fuchsia.

*

This staircase in very simple and modern, but the wallpaper adds a warmer more “liveable” atmosphere than if it was left white.

*

Gwyneth has pale floors all over her home.

*

This dining room is the epitome of simple romantic design. The Swarovski blossom chandelier is available here for those of you who can afford it. It is $27,350.00.

*

This is Gwyneth’s daughter Apple’s bedroom. In keeping with the rest of the house, this bedroom is light and airy, with splashes of fuchsia for a girly princess look.

*

The kitchen has matte black cabinets and beige tiling.

*

Two white chandeliers adds a bit of glamour over the kitchen island, and makes a great contrast to the black cabinets.

The black wallcovering in this bathroom is designed by Kelly Wearstler and is available here.

Cool purple and white bedroom. Nice tufted headboard.

There have been some trouble with this website lately, but don’t worry, I am (trying) to get to the bottom of it.  Now let’s get down to business and take a look at some beautiful coastal homes, by Simply Home:

*

Beautiful oceanfront patio. Aren’t the chairs in the foreground with the tall backs gorge?

*

Cream and light blue living room. What a great view.

*

Divine bedroom. Blue walls with cream trim and accents. I adore that wing chair!

*

More living room.

*

This dining room is definitely my favourite room.  A mild sophisticated color palette, perfect symmetry and beautiful details. Take a look at the “dotted” trim on the curtains.

*

Chair + Patterned fabric = my new obsession. What do you think?

*

A white kitchen. The cabinet to the right of the sink looks to be a dishwasher in hiding.

*

Now this is a fun bathroom. Lobster wallpaper!

*

*

This orange and pink table setting is truly a color fest.

*

The layered plates of different color and shape is very dramatic.

*

Everything is so shiny and pretty. The fuzzy flowers in the pink bowl makes a beautiful contrast, don’t you think?

*

The glass bowls looks to be inspired by rough crystals. The shape makes the light play off it so beautifully.

*

Fancy black fabric napkins. And holders too.

*

One of my faourite parts of this table setting is this branch centerpiece decorated with glass  rhinestones. You could definitely recreate this look using your jewelry.

*

This bowl is one of my favourites too. Lady gaga anyone?

*

Abby also makes beautiful glass sculptures.

*

Sigh.

*

*

This living room gives me serous new years eve party vibes. It must be the black and white with the hints of metallic. Not to mention the champagne colored couch.

*

A closer look at the wall art. I wonder why it was not placed directly behind the sofa?

*

A very tall headboard padded with gray velour and purple teffeta throw pillows adds a bit of glam to this simple bedroom. Is it just me or is purple the ultimate color of glam?

*

Isn’t that Madonna in the print? You can order photography prints of your favorite stars here!

*

This hallway has a feature wall of black and silver wallpaper with framed Marilyn Monroe prints.

*

Black and silver (err.. steel) is also the color scheme in this ultra modern kitchen. What do you think of glossy kitchen cabinets?

*

Very bold wallpaper indeed!

*

That tiny file has grown into 500 files with 7000 images by the way. But I digress. Well, one of the pictures in that tiny file of mine was a smaller version of the pic below. Ever since then I have been in love with the print hanging over the sofa, but haven’t been able to find out anything about it. Yesterday as I was looking through the portfolio of Kwinter & Co Design, it turned up again, and now I am asking you if you happen to know anything about it?

*

And here it is.

*

Now let’s take a look at the rest of this gorgeous room. The living room is actually white with rich gray carpeting and a beige cowhide flower rug (available here). The wall behind the gray velour sofa is completely covered in mirrors. Nice glass coffee table too.

*

Side view. Black lamp shades are pretty and creates a good mood, but is not for lighting up, that’s for sure. But who cares when you have windows like that in the living room?

*

A folding screen is mounted on the wall as artwork behind a white cabinet.

*

Here is a closer look at the deep brown armchairs. Beautiful carvings and nailhead trim.

*

This is the fourteenth Dream Home since it started in 1997. The house is located in Sandia Park, New Mexico, and has eighteen rooms (counting the 3 car garage). Let’s take a look at a few of them:

*

Calm green bedroom with light green walls with brown and cream accents. Also, all trim and window frames are painted a demure blue. If this was my bedroom, I would paint the ceiling, I have a personal war going on with bare wood surfaces.

(view 360 degrees)

*

The same bedroom viewed from the bed. To the left is a “sunrise room”, separated by a wall with an open fireplace and a flat screen TV. To the right is the master bathroom, with blue sliding doors to the tub. You don’t of cause need to climb through the tub to get to the bathroom, there is a normal entry on the side.

Wall color is Sherwin-Williams Svelte Sage.

*

The color scheme is the same in the master bathroom, but with less brown for a lighter cleaner look.

(view 360 degrees)

*

One thing I noticed in this house is the extensive use of tiles. In this kitchen for example, the whole wall behind the stove is covered in tiles. This kitchen is in open plan solution with the living area though, so I guess it is a nice way of defining the kitchen area.  What do You think?

(view 360 degrees)

*

And with that I had to cover this beautiful “casita” (as they call it), a tiny bedroom with a built in bathroom (see below). I was really surprised they made a feature wall of tiles behind the bed…

(view 360 degrees)

*

But it makes more sense when you see the bathroom placement. I would love to have a guest suite like this to offer my visitors, but personally I prefer a bit more privacy in the bathroom, lol!

The wall color is Sherwin-Williams Foxy.

*

There is just something about the color scheme in this home office that really speaks to me. I’m usually not into these muddy olive greens, but the pops of blue and red really freshens it up. Do you like it?

Wall color is Sherwin-Williams Sycamore Tan.

*

This second bedroom is lilac with whites and creams. Two single four poster beds invites guests to a cozy sleepover.

Wall color is Sherwin-Williams Ash Violet.

*

I love this detail shot. The chair is to die for, and the framed wall sconces are a great touch.

(view 360 degrees)

*

Which kid wouldn’t love this colorful bedroom with a Toy Story and Cowboy theme?

*

Turquoise and orange is a fresh color combination, but these both have black in them, which tones the colors down a lot.

The wall color is Sherwin-Williams Reflecting Pool.

*

Behind this wall is a bathroom shared between this room and the lilac guest bedroom.

(view 360 degrees)

*

So what do you think, is this your dream home? Are you entering the sweepstakes?

Kishani, one of my favorite designers, is in fact a good friend of our actress, and is behind Molly’s Hollywood Hills home, so let’s take a look:

(you can click the pics to see full size on Luxist)

*

Molly has a white house with beautiful black details. I really like the larger-than-life potted trees, very simple and dramatic.

*

This is Molly’s dining room. Like the facade, the walls are white and the floors and trim is black. The blue velvet dining chairs looks super soft and comfy.

*

On the other side of the fireplace wall is a living area.  Let us take a closer look:

*

Gray sofas with purple throw pillows and a glass chandelier to add a bit of glamour.

*

The kitchen is white with marble counter tops and brushed steel kitchen appliances.

*

I love how the glassware is arranged by color in the cabinet.

*

Isn’t this little girls room adorable?

*

This is definitely a room to grow up in.

*

This I presume is the master bedroom. It is  seafoam green and white, with a huge bed with nailhead trim. Love the pops of color brought in by the purple lampshades. This room was later painted a deep grey, which, according to Kishani “complrtely transformed the vibe of the space from beachy to moody”.

See the result on Kishani’s blog here.

*

The bathroom is white too.

*

Here is the second living room, with a flatscreen TV.

*

Last but not least is Molly’s home office. I have posted some images of this room before on this website, and here are some more:

*

The wall seems a lot more purple in these photos.

*

Here is the same office, revamped for a photo shoot for Molly Sims’ jewelry line.

*

And here is the beautiful actress in her equally beautiful home!

*

You can read more about Molly Sims’ home on Kishani Perera’s blog here and here. There are also a lot more pictures from Molly’s home on Luxist, so click if you want more!

*

This beautiful light blue living room is decorated very subtly paying close attention to pattern, texture and dimension.

*

I think this color palette is absolutely fantastic. The colors really play off of each other. Bright, but toned down.

*

Take a look at the different chairs on this room. Very sculptural.

*

David mixes a lot of metals and metal colors in this room. Just look at the coffee table with the gold picture frames. I really like how he painted the whole mantel the same color as the walls, and used a slightly deeper tone on the molding.

*

The dining area is the same wall color, it might possibly be an open plan solution with the living room. Even the window frames are blue. The black dining table is very visually heavy (and probably physically heavy too), but perfectly balanced out by very light feminine chairs and beautiful flowers and chandelier.

*

In open plan solutions I often notice wall paneling is used to define the living room, like in this one.

*

Beautiful dresser.

*

An accent wall in a stairway. Great idea to add some color and depth!
