I'm obsessed with designer Lindsey Bond's bright, modern and chic 1950's Birmingham, Alabama, cottage (featured in the new October issue of House Beautiful). I love the palette and how she's cleverly installed wall mounted shelves in several places to eliminate the need for a lot of bulky furniture. Also, the drapery is the same throughout, which Lindsey says, "adds softness and height, but also creates order through repetition." I love how she's used the curtains in other places besides the windows - to frame the living room/dining room, hide her closet door and to create a more modern take on a canopy.
even though i was born in '84, i am definitely a child of the 90's and clueless is one of my all time favorite movies (along with everyone else i'm sure). francisco costa from calvin klein must be as well because he is now recreating the white dress featured in the movie to be sold exclusively at confederacy in l.a.
I heart Canadian House & Home - it's always in my mailbox before the others and the issues never disappoint. I am especially smitten with this Lake Simcoe cottage owned and decorated by stylist, Jenn Cranston (from the June 2010 issue). Her vision for a peaceful palette of white and creams is really beautiful and she pulled it all together on a budget. I dream about having a place like this someday...
I love this barn door that the homeowner found in New Hampshire (at a sheep farm!) and repurposed for her bathroom in Brooklyn. It's not only eco-friendly, but makes a statement in the space that a traditional door wouldn't. And the color palette - tans/caramels/browns against white - is very natural, yet clean at the same time.
Ahh so pretty and relaxing. And such a beautiful headboard - it adds a lot of interest to this very neutral bedroom. And I'm always a sucker for white bedding. Have a lovely weekend!
