What's Black, White and Great All Over? This Condo!

Posted on Sunday, November 4, 2012

As much as I love bright and lively colors in spaces, sometimes it's the absence of color that can have the biggest impact! This condo (which is Hollywood Glam at its best) is detailed to the nines with an assortment of amazing textures, textiles and high end furniture. Using detailed stenciling and over-exaggerated custom pieces is a perfect example that if you go colorless how to showcase your home by using extraordinary accents and details.

Where the home lacks in color, it sure made up for with incredible design!

Check out this media room! Who wouldn't want to watch a classic movie in here?

Keep it Up! Above Average Attics

Posted on Monday, June 25, 2012

Alongside closets, corners and nooks - attics are certainly underestimated for their potential as quaint but useable space. While they are mainly used for storing Christmas decor, seasonal clothing bins and probably loads of miscellaneous and dusty bins and boxes, with a little TLC they could become the perfect comfy and cozy area for guests or even for a simple retreat.

{I love the exposed wood and the bright contrast of colors of the accents, adding great patterns and textures and even charm to the room. It almost has a bathhouse feel. Simply add the bed, hold the steam!}

Breaking Free of the Cubicle; Amazing Offices

Posted on Monday, June 18, 2012

While some companies might find blandness (and beigeness) to be an adequate work environment, there are some that are actually quite colorful and even fun! From sand floors and employee slides, these companies have offices that are creative, inspiring and are great examples of out-of-the-box design.

Pixar

Pixar is another great example of creative and colorful designs. Being the epicenter of incredibly innovative and imaginative minds, it makes so much sense for them to be encased in such a stimulating environment.

This White Mountain Office was build 100 feet below ground out of anti-atomic shelter. While all 4,000 square feet was built for a Swedish data center, it feels to me to be more appropriate for villainous get togethers (see pic below).

In Craigslist daybed Mid-Century modern

Wednesday Craigslist Find: Inexpenseive MidCentury DayBed

Posted on Wednesday, June 6, 2012

From the natural wood stains, simplistic lines and to the beautifully crafted wooden legs, I have a huge soft spot in my hear for MidCentury furniture. So today while on my Wednesday Craigslist spree, you can imagine my excitement when I came upon this danish daybed on sale for a mere $650!

While I could forgo the floral pattern, new reupholstery and a fresh stain could easily be a simple and inexpensive solution, which would make this look like new. Considering a piece like this would easily sell for twice as much in a showroom, this is definitely a steal.

And check out the back. So sleek!

Similar MidCentury daybed selling on Ebay for $1675!

And another low back sofa, but has two hidden pull out sides.

How neat!

No Blues About These Aqua Hues

Posted on Tuesday, June 5, 2012

Blue is a lovely ubiquitous color. From the crispy baby blue skies to the navy blues of the ocean, blue has a natural way of coming across calm and relaxing, but adversely it can also come across slightly depressing and even overwhelming. It is for these reasons that I am a huge fan of the work down by designer Anthony Baratta. With an interior design career spanning over three decades, he has learned how to master the variations of the hue from contemporary living spaces to modern kitchens, giving them all a serene and even beachfront feel. By using bold colors alongside beautiful patterns and graphics, he can transform a room from simple to simply amazing as perfectly demonstrated in the pics below.

Do you agree?

Adorable Grey Nurseries

Posted on Tuesday, May 1, 2012

Who said nurseries are only to be packed full of gender forward pastels or overly bright primary colors? What better way to add a modern twist to the little one's room that the use a soft greys, accented with colorful frames, books or fixture. These nurseries transform grey from gloomy to adorable.

Amazing Craigslist Deals - Wood Finds

Posted on Saturday, April 9, 2011

Considering that I am on Craigslist almost everyday it is hard not to notice when a great deal shows up, or many at once for that matter.

That's right, this is on Craigslist

It is a good thing that I do not have the space or money to purchase all these pieces because I'd be broke AND overcrowded. Here are some awesome diamonds in the rough that I found on Craigslist.

In floral Italian modern Patterns sofa stripes Zero Tre Architetti

Pattern Extravaganza

Posted on Friday, April 8, 2011

While I am not the biggest fan of mixing many fabrics on one piece of furniture, I would totally own this piece.

Perhaps it's because the rug looks like a laying on it would be like laying on a cloud. Maybe it's the matching stripped feature on the wall. It could just be the equality of the bold solid colors with the patterns on this modern sofa that just do it for me, but I would totally own this sofa, even down to the mismatched armrests (which are interchangeable as well as the backs of the sofa.)

Designed by Italian Zero Tre Architetti, the bright springy colors are perfect for a big bright room making the sofa noticeable but not overbearing.

In gray kids modern rooms

Grey Kids Rooms Are Red Hot

Posted on Thursday, April 7, 2011

One of the cool turns of design, for me, is definitely the evolution of bay and kids rooms. It has upgraded from old school pastel colors like eggshell blues, seagrass greens and mellow yellow to modern slate and charcoal grays sprinkled with pinks.

I am still an advocate of brighter, slightly kidder themed kids rooms but can definitely appreciate the modern spin on the room. Typically we'd imagine a child's room with gray walls and shredded ribbons to belong to Wednesday Addams. This room passes the mark by adding bright pink ribbons in the room as well as hanging adding pretty contrasting photos on the walls. I might appreciate it just a bit more if there were at least one colorful pillow on the bed, but I'll let that pass.

In bathroom modern

Holy awesome bathtub, Batman!

Posted on Friday, May 1, 2009

Who says tubs just have to be large white porcelain bowls? Not the company Aquamass! Based out of Brussels, they have a range of tubs that glow, are basket weaved, or even covered in cowhide.

To check out more of the tubs they offer, check out their website here Aquamass
