This dreamy bedroom is designed by Kate McIntyre and was featured in Traditional Home:

*

The walls are covered with reindeer and trees, with the ceiling picking up the lilac tones from the wall. The four poster bed is placed on a custom hand sown cowhide rug in various shades of cream.

*

Color palette for this look!

*

The fairytale wall covering is actually a mural. The Four poster bed is custom made in polished cattle bone (which is kinda grotesque..?). Take a look at the beautiful clove leaf details on the headboard.

*

Just beautiful!

*

This cabinet is also custom made with metallic doors and branch pulls.

*

Interior Design husband and wife team Stephen and Gail  Huberman of SGH Interiors are behind these dramatically beautiful interiors:

*

All walls are painted a matte gray color with crisp white ceiling and dark hardwood floors. The end wall of this living room is devoted to displaying beautiful sculptural items on custom built shelves. Take a look at the beautiful Gothic style mirror over the fireplace, and the cowhide bench.

*

Using the same color as the walls on the shelves and other larger pieces like this beautiful wing chair, other items really stands out, like that console table. It looks like a half wheel with arrow spokes. Wish we could see the rest of it.

*

A folding wall with a blue and green landscape of trees is placed as a backdrop for what looks to be a staircase sculpture.

*

The “heavy” matte walls are repeatedly contrasted by tall transparent glass items such as candle sticks, vases and apothecary jars.  I really like the way this dining table is framed by the etageres.

*

Have you ever seen texture like this on a wall? Me neither!

*

Lately I have developed a minor obsession with glossy bathroom floors. More specifically; white hexagonal marble tiles paired with a good source of natural light (i.e. big windows). The result is a beautifully glistening floor, almost like fish scales. Here are some of my favourite pictures:

*

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?

*

I think it is really fascinating to look into the homes of the rich and famous, as they have all the means to create the perfect home. This time we will take a look into actress Gwyneth Paltrow’s Long Island home. So here we go:

*

*

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.

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!

*

Ben Huckerby Design is behind these modern pin up chic interiors:

*

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!

*

I came across these pictures of actress Molly Sims’ beautiful home on Luxist, and as I saw the kitchen photo, I remembered reading about this home on Interior designer Kiahani Perera’s blog. 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!

This modern apartment bedroom is designed by Beth Whitlinger and is done in a black and white theme:

*

Rooms that have a black and white theme often has white walls. I love how Beth chose a subtle beige instead, making the white details really pop!

*

On the wall opposite of the bed, Beth placed a desk. Disguised as a framed print is a flat screen TV! I really like how she created a very simple vignette on the desk. The objects cutting off some of the TV frame gives the impression of art instead of TV.

*

Remember this post I did a while ago on hidden fireplaces? Well, here is what the rest of Interior Designer Kelly Giesen’s beautiful apartment looks like. The thing I love about Kelly’s home is all the clever ways to hide what you don’t use!

*

This dreamy white bedroom is covered in an ultra feminine cream pearl wallpaper. Behind the beautiful mirrored doors of the corner closet…

*

.. Is a home office! This tiny space is also the home of the sound system, pretty wrapping papers and design books.

*

Here is the beautiful mantle which has a built-in TV behind the custom mirrored screen door.

*

The kitchen and dining area. Kelly’s counter tops are white marble, and she exchanged the glass in the middle cabinet door for mirror. She also installed an antique door in front of her kitchen cabinet. The dining area to the left is so pretty.

*

And here is a quick view of the living room. I would love to see more of that entry door, it looks spectacular!

When I look at this bedroom I can’t help thinking this is the perfect style for a teenage boy’s bedroom:

*

The gray flannel patterned wallpaper is perfectly masculine, especially combined with the denim bedding and black leather upholstered bed.

This wallpaper is called Straight and can be purchased from Graham & Brown (click picture to go to their site).
