bedroom inspiration . .

Yesterday in my "four favorites" post I featured the Ornate bed - well I can't stop thinking about it and Christiane from Dwell Studio asked how I would decorate it if I owned it. I was totally up for taking a little bit of time to get creative and put together an inspiration board.

As you all know, I had to stick to my neutral colors, but added in fun textures to spice it up. The mix of a Madeline Weinrib rug, Bungalow 5 lamp, CB2 dressers and West Elm and Dwell Studio pillows make for a cozy sanctuary to cuddle in every night.

Now that I've created this board I wish the bed could magically appear at my doorstep. 

press: apartment therapy

A few months ago Apartment Therapy approached me about featuring our tiny abode as a house tour - I was incredibly flattered. Well friends, yesterday it graced the pages of Apartment Therapy and I'm delighted to say it got a positive response (something I was nervous about). The ever so lovely Leela Cyd Ross took the stunning photos and I thought I'd share a few outtakes here.

A few items have changed in our apartment - new coffee table and light on my desk from HD Buttercup SF (which is becoming my new go-to shop), got a new pillow for the chair in the window from West Elm (it's SO soft) and I've re-arranged our West Elm bookcase.

I'd like to give a big shout out to my favorite shops to source items for my apartment - HD Buttercup SF, West Elm, Summer House in Mill Valley, Grenouille, Designer Fluff, and Erica Tanov Marin.

Be sure to head over to the feature for the entire home tour.

Thanks again for all of the amazing support friends! This blog wouldn't be the same without you. I've got to say, you keep me motivated to keep inspiring you daily.

kitchen: which one do you adore?

One could say that I'm very particular about my kitchens - I want my future kitchen to be clean, minimalist and ALL white. As my mom and I stood in her kitchen daydreaming about what we would do with it, I began to think of all the possibilities . . . the tile, counter, stove, shelving. The sky is the limit, and there are so many options out there.

So these are a few of our many favorites that we've tagged over the past few months. Some are just vignettes and others are whole kitchens - I'd love to know which you adore.

bed: which one do you adore?

Last night my mom and I were sitting in her new condo discussing what style of bed she should purchase for the guest bedroom - from traditional to antique to modern . . . the possibilities are endless. So after searching for the perfect style I thought it might be fun to have all of you weigh in on your favorite style. Which do you adore the most?

Finally taking a few moments to open up a book felt incredibly soothing. There just isn't anything like it.

Dressing a little more casual when the sun is shining bright.

Spotted this runner and all I can think about was finding one of my own. It's stunning!

I couldn't agree with you more Audrey. I absolutely love this quote!

Hello lover . . . you are a thing of beauty. If you could be in my closet I'd carry you proudly on my shoulder.

The simplicity of this image is utterly divine. From the perfectly placed art work to the stunning site - it all works so well together.

Stunning blooms are popping up at flowers shops and the flower market. These in particular are drop-dead gorgeous!

If only everyone could have a set of all white Le Creuset like the above. I think that's what kitchen heaven would look like.

I'm all about cuffed jeans.

In my quest to try different black teas - this one is being added to my wish list.

I'm Loving . . .

These floor to ceiling built-in glass cabinets are stunning. Any designer would love to style these up with personal treasures.

Talk about beautiful labels - I think anyone would buy this jam just for that reason. I would!

This Rodin hand cream has been getting me through these cool dry days. It comes with me everywhere.

I'm all about black, gray and more gray - this look is effortlessly chic. Something I try to achieve every day.

I'm always on the lookout for fabulous tabletop items to decorate with for my next dinner party. This candlestick is incredible - love the way it's twisted together.

black & white

I have redecorating on the brain - don't know why, but after a certain length of time having our place look the same, I get a redecorating itch. It's something every interior designer gets. I sit in our apartment and dream of how I could change it since we probably won't be moving for a little bit. When I came across this simple, clean and fresh black and white room I knew it was love at first sight. The crisp white sheets with pops of black make it sophisticated but with a touch of masculine edge that I think Eric would appreciate. This is being printed and put at the top of my inspiration binder.

What color combinations are you coveting right now?

Keeping it casual by making comfy t-shirts look chic with jewelry and a high-waisted skirt.

Hanging a Moroccan wedding blanket is the new art for a wall. I love the way it looks above the bed.

a pop of color . . .

I've been lusting after everything caramel. There is just something about the color that looks so incredibly chic whether it be a light handbag, or even a bra.

Do you have a color that you've been coveting lately? Do share!
