Olivia Wilde's Venice Home

I've been thinking a lot about the home of Olivia Wilde that was featured in the June In Style. Why you might ask? Well mostly because the bookshelf featured above was inspired by the shelves at Equator Books, which has become home to my new favorite cafe! I admire the books (and bookshelves) as I wait for my coffee and constantly think to myself wouldn't it be great to have a library full of books...with a ladder and all! Take a look at the rest of Olivia Wilde's cozy Venice home! I love her bohemian style and the space is filled with so much character!

Jill Stuart's Dreamy Home!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Mine was short, but super sweet! I actually had some time to relax on Sunday, get some cleaning done, spend some time at the beach, go rollerblading, go out on a beautiful date with my fiance, and still get some work done! It felt so good to clean up my apartment a bit and as much as I love my space I am dying to make some changes to it. As I was cleaning I came across this issue of Elle Decor featuring the home of of fashion designer Jill Stuart and started to daydream! I just love the crispness and freshness of this apartment with the use of bold artwork and sophisticated details. Her place has a soft feminine touch without being too cutesy or trendy! I love it!

How gorgeous are these interior shots by Frederik Vercruysse?!

Wow! These greens are so beautiful with the soft gold light.

Love the black kitchen and floors! I want to curl up in that sofa. It reminds me of a worn in baseball glove!

The veining on that marble is stunning and I can't get enough of the blue. Well, actually that little bit is just perfect! Do you guys love the cobalt blue as much as I do?

Dollops of Color

Interior Stylist Abigail Ahern and owner of the London boutique Atelier Abigail Ahern really knows how to use color.  She transformed her all white apartment into this rich, luscious space filled with dollops of bright turquoise, pinks, reds, greens, and yellows.  She painted the walls and the floors with this deep seductive hue by Farrow and Ball "Down Pipe".  By painting the floors the same color as the wall and keeping the ceiling  "Simple White" she was able to add volume to the space.  

The art above her fireplace is actually the back of an old road sign...how cool is that!

Another blue kitchen, I just love it!  Here she just spray painted her simple Ikea cabinets this beautiful blue called "Deep Water"

You just can't go wrong with a blue flocked Anglepoise lamp.

The ostrich table in the corner is one of my favorites!

That one red thread says so much!

How natural and cozy and then that turquoise hiding in the corner just adds that little touch of drama.

I can't get over how amazing this red looks with the deep hue.  The sheer volume of that yellow lampshade is just perfect!
