Before creating this website, I had a tiny file on my computer with my favorite interior pictures. 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.

*

Today we’ll look at some of the work of Interior Designer Mimi Williams. I am not sure if this is a private home or not, because it looks amazingly large, with two living room seating areas and two dining areas. What I do know is that it looks absolutely fantastic!

*

The whole of the home is decorated in a subtle gray. Three tiny glass tables instead of one large. Fun idea!

*

The second seating area. Have you noticed the trend of using dark tables to light colored seating?

*

This dining room has two identical seating areas symmetrically arranged around a cozy fireplace. The second dining room is to the right in this image.

*

And here it is. Notice the fantastic eagle claws and glass ball table foots. I love how Mimi used only a few large accent pieces in this dining room. Very dramatic.

*

Beautiful lines on this staircase, underlined by the choice of black and white on the railing.

*

Take a look at that headboard. Very sculptural, like the back on the adjacent chair.

*

You can see more pictures from this beautiful home on Mimi’s website here!

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!

*

Green living room with a botanical vibe. I love how the candle holders are placed at different height among the plant pictures. Very unexpected!

These beautiful botanical prints are available at Botanical Style.

Did you make a herbarium when you were a child? We used to put flowers and leafs in a book and leave it there til it was dry, then we framed them. It didn’t turn out nearly as pretty as those above, though.

*

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.

*

These pictures has been laying around on my computer for a while now, and I think they are too cute not to share:

*

White upholstered bed with pink accent pillows. I think the two mirrors on either side of the bed is perfect for this look! Classic romantic and sleek modern all in one!

*

White nightstands with white table lamp.

*

Between two tall slim windows is a white console table in front of a huge framed picture. Do you think the room is built around this picture, or did the owner get really lucky finding this picture?

*

A perfect shade of smoky blue color on the walls.

Images borrowed from HGTV’s Rate My Space!

*

Got your attention with that headline, didn’t I? So, this super wild and exotic bedroom by user Adam1323 on HGTV’s Rate my Space is something out of the ordinary. A simple color scheme of browns and white with all sorts of exotic references like zebra pattern, brown leather upholsteries and a great palm:

*

The choise of brown leather and zebra is so refreshing as the black and white has been done a lot lately. That bed is fantastic, isn’t it?

*

Love the drama a tall piece like that palm adds to a room, especially with the ultra low bed.

*

You can get a similar geometric candle holder for your wall at Crate and Barrel:

*

Get it here!

*

This white bedroom is embellished with colorful wall stickers depicting furniture. Fun, funky and perfect for a teens room!

*

Over the white canopy bed is a blue chandelier sticker.

*

All the splashes of color is picked up from the colorful bedsheets.

*

Like a shadow from another dimension, a huge green shelf sticker is placed halfway behind a real white shelf. I love the lamp detail on top of the shelf.

*

A yellow dresser with a pink chandelier peeps out from behind the dresser.

*

Fuschia pink chairs flanks both sides of a simple white leaning mirror. Each chair is a frame for a pretty white clothing hook.

Emerald green bedroom with a white bed and brown curtains. The bed is hot! We saw the mirrored stars earlier in this post.

*

A simple bedroom seating area.

*

The attached bathroom has the same color scheme as the bedroom.

*

Love how the “striped” floor adds depth to the room.

This white bed is amazing! Looks especially good as a contrast to the red wall!

*

Classic tall living room with gray walls and polished dark stained wood floors. The chandelier looks huge!

*

Talk about a picture coming to life, haha! Really creative idea, would you go for it?

*

Nice patio furniture!
