No Problem, I'll Take It!

This private villa by C+L Studio is so serene. I would seriously move in today...well not like that's even an option, but a girl can dream right! It's so minimal, but feels so inviting. A perfect retreat to clear the clutter. The landscape and the outdoor area have me drooling!

The indoor/outdoor feel of the space is perfect! I would be sitting outside on that patio or in the pool enjoying the nature as much as I could!

This is another one of their projects that is still in progress. I cannot wait to see it when it is complete!

Valentin Apartment

I am absolutely loving this Valentin apartment by ECDM Architects. The bedroom extends out into the open and just floats over the space.
I am obsessing over these chairs too!

such a cozy little place! Definitely wouldn't want this room to be messy! I am hoping there is a huge closet somewhere right around the corner!


I would love to curl up in one of those chaise and just research and read all day long!

Yellow Just Makes Me Feel Good!

Tonight my cycling instructor played some great music "to make us feel good". Just knowing her intention made me feel good:-) I left class feeling inspired, had such a positive attitude, and a great workout . When it comes to colors, one color that always gives off positive energy and makes me feel good is yellow. What color is it for you?



Here's a random story...when I was in college and lived in my sorority house (yes, I know) we had a bathroom on the Second Floor that was yellow, and one on the 3rd floor that was blue. Everyone always wanted to live on the 2nd floor because the were so energized and loved mornings in the yellow bathroom!










I hope these interiors make you feel good. These have been in my inspiration folder for quite some time so I do not have any references available today. All the image sources are unknown.

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!

Inspired by Nature!

Today I am sharing with you some inspiration boards I put together for a client in Los Angeles. They are expecting their 3rd child in August, they own a showroom in West Hollywood, and their favorite place to be is their home. They are located high up in the Hills have an incredible view overlooking the canyon, a gorgeous yard, and this is their escape from all the hustle and bustle of the city and their everyday lives. Their home should be their sanctuary and a place for them to relax and enjoy time with their beautiful family. The outdoors is such an amazing part of their space so we wanted to bring those organic elements inside to create a seamless connection of the two. Playful pops of color, fumed white oak flooring, light walls, natural walnut, and a neutral pallette of grays, whites, greens, and camel will keep this space open and alive!
