Bathroom Romance

theLennoxx — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 22:26:36 +0000

This bathroom was love at first sight, even though it is not my style at all. That’s how cute it is ! Must be all the unexpected elements like the freestanding copper tub on the terracotta floors tiles and the creative storage solutions.

Towels are layered on a ladder leaned against the wall for easy access when climbing out of the tub. Soaps and shampoo is placed on an old garden chair, completely styled with scented candles and potted roses. You can get the tub from here (at a nice price!).

Sage green walls with seagrass green furniture and terracotta floor tiles. Various shades of muted pinks serve as accent color.

A gray wicker chair with soft linen cushion and a matching ottoman provides a place to relax and maybe do a home manicure. The tall floor candle holder and the fresh potted roses adds to the romantic atmosphere.

The sink looks like a tiny version of the tub. It is mounted on what looks like a tiny modified desk. Instead of shelves for (additional) towel storage, an old wicker basket is placed underneath the sink console. Definitely cute and creative, but I would want a larger mirror though.

Bathroom accessories are stored in a copper sauce pan inside this cabinet. Talk about matching!

The romantic style is all in the details. Take a look at these beautiful jars for storage of bath salt. Decorated with flowers and pink ribbon. So easy, so cute.

In need of inspiration? Head over to House to Home where you can (like here) browse by room! BTW I would love to know who designed / styled this bathroom, anyone know?

Blue and Yellow

theLennoxx — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 14:06:52 +0000

John Willey is behind today’s interior designs, which are all about the color combination Yellow and Blue!

This is so pretty and styled, it almost looks like a dollhouse.

A few large but visually very interesting decor items really makes all the difference on this patio. The high gloss paint on the “ceiling” (under the veranda) gives of some “clean” vibes.

This yellow living room is accented with sky blue and brown. Take a look at the pretty pattern on the sofa to the left. It is repeated in the accent pillow on the blue sofa, tieing the room togheter even more. I love the blue and brown ottoman- a refreshing take on the very popular zebra stripe.

Side view. The blue sofa looks so wide from this angle.

A coastal vignette and a beautiful kitchen decorated with blue and yellow. Very unusual ceiling lamp.

Yellow and blue coastal style bedroom. I love the big X in the ceiling, it would only work for a square room like this one.

Soothing Blues

theLennoxx — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 13:12:33 +0000

Anne Coyle designed this beautiful living room with a color palette of cool soothing blues with vibrant pops of pink and coral:

I love a good symmetric layout, and that coffee table is gorgeous!

Side view. Would you use cool colors like this in your home?

The paint color looks like Benjamin Moore Silver Cloud.

The wall opposite of the sofa has a beautiful fireplace and a cozy seating area for two. I have noticed that art pieces like the one above this mantle is often used with light blue color schemes, like in this and this previous post. Coincidence? Light blue does look great combined with metallics.

Dreamy Colors

San Francisco based interior design firm Coddington Design is behind these beautiful interiors:

Beautiful living room with a color palette of foggy light blue and creamy beige. The scale and proportions in this room is great (pun not intended actually). Look at how tiny the coffee table comes out next to the tall furniture and high ceiling. Mounting straight curtains directly under the seiling helps too. These winged chairs suits my recent chair-upholstered-with-beautiful-pattern obsession perfectly! Do you think a TV screen is hiding in that cabinet? That would explain the size and placement.

The front of the chair is beige with deep buttoning, and the ceiling is the same color as the walls.

The built in shelves on each side of the fireplace are painted blue inside to make them more a part of the wall. Check out the mirrored front.

The soft feminine lines definitely gives this tiny work station a “wow factor”.

And this dining room, with its blue walls and carpets, takes a dramatic turn with a rich brown (or is it green?) ceiling. This is one of my favorite color combos; Light blue, creams and green. Just like my living room! And don’t get me started on the dining chairs.. Nail head trim AND door knocker detail? Perfect!

I couldn’t resist featuring this cute nursery. Blue walls with old pink decor. Perfect for boy or girl!

And I wish we could see more of this super fresh bedroom. The reigning color of the year, turquoise always looks crispy clean when combined with white.

And since there are no other views of this room, we’ll zoom in on the details instead! Notice how many (barely) different shades of turquoise they fitted in here. And the inverted pattern color on the chair (right) is a great touch.

Simply Coastal Home

theLennoxx — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 22:55:05 +0000

Hi guys! 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!

Bewitching Colors

David Kaplan is the designer behind this beautiful home of blues and pinks:

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!

For Coastal Cottage Color Lovers!

Have you heard of Russell & Mackenna? Well it is a company specializing in beach cottage style furniture. Unlike most furniture companies, you get to design the furniture to fit perfectly into your home! You can choose between 33 vibrant colors and add the trim and knobs you want. For upholstered furniture there are 53 beautiful fabrics to choose from. Needless to say, this is fun! Lets check out some of their colorful furniture:

Bright turquoise walls with beige and yellow. This surf chic living room is all about happy colors.

That shade of turquoise is a bit on the bright side for me, but I love how it is repeated throughout the accents. And btw I am strangely attracted to the sofa fabric.. so pretty!

Now this is a cute dining area! The beige, turquoise and yellow work perfectly together.

Purple side table with orange fishes. Almost like a built-in vignette. No worries about decorating that table top!

This must be the most crazy color combo yet. I feel like a cartoon character just by looking at it! I would think any weather would be gray when you walk out of this entryway.

This lavender blue, turquoise and green nursery is the cutest! The wave detail on the crib is my favorite part.

More waves in this bedroom. I see 6 fishes.

Orange and pink is one of my favorite color combos. Perfect for a little girls room.

To make it even more fun, Russell & Mackenna is offering you, my wonderful readers, 40 % off of all furniture in their online store!

The sales code is LYK34KXX.

These colorful rooms really reminded me of Jane Coslick’s design style, check out her site for some more inspiration!

Beautiful Bedroom by Vicente Wolf

theLennoxx — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 15:14:52 +0000

Vicente Wolf is one of my favorite designers, and if you take a look at these photos, or his portfolio for that sake, you know why.

This bedroom is painted a very cool and light shade of blue and has a feature wall of gray padded squares. The tall classic furniture is combined with sisal carpeting, adding a rougher texture and a beautiful contrast to the delicate gray fabrics used. Another very notisable contrast in this room is the Victorian headboard combined with the steel framed four poster bed.

This is the seating area in the foreground in the first picture. Simple and elegant. The frosted glass panels you see behind the sofa is actually a door into the bathroom.

Here are the glass doors viewed from the bathroom. I remember seeing a video from Mr. Wolf’s home, and he had removed one of the bathroom walls and replaced it with frosted glass to add natural light from the flanking room (I think it was the living room). I will post the video if I find it.

Did you ever see classic beauty and modern combined as effortlessly as this?

If you just can’t get enough of this, visit Vicente’s own blog, it is a fantastic read!

Blue and Orange by Kendall Wilkinson

theLennoxx — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 19:56:30 +0000

Designer Kendall Wilkinson is the creator behind this bright joy of a bedroom:

The walls and trim is blue all the way from top to bottom, with a white ceiling and a warm chocolate carpet. The pops of complimentary color orange adds a lot of fun and brightness.

Behind the bed is a huge mural of a white tree with little orange birds.

This is also the first time I have ever seen anyone place sconces over table lamps!

The headboard is clear glass (or plastic?).

Do you like this color combo? I’ve always been a sucker for blue/orange..

Blue chairs with ears (LOL)!

And a glass table, “matching” the headboard.

Exotic Bedroom

theLennoxx — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 12:19:11 +0000

Jeffers Design Group has one of those portfolios that are overwhelming with never ending beauty and inspiration. This exotic bedroom caught my attention immediately:

Beige walls, dark hardwood floors and a soft blue ceiling. It is definitely the soft wavy lines and shapes that lifts this room from gorgeous to spectacular.

Just take a look at that headboard! The soft lines are repeated everywhere from the beautiful wallpaper to the bed skirt and all fabrics in the room.

Here is a closer look at the wonderful wallpaper. The designer hit two birds with one stone (no pun intended) by placing a desk besides the bed, doubling as a bedside table. The table lamps flanking the bed looks fantastic! Love the cobalt blue mirror too.

Beautiful textiles, and the chair is so cute.
