fireplace: which one do you adore?

Tuesday, October 11, 2011 / Comments (21)

With fall weather in full swing all I can think about is how I will be staying warm throughout the cool months ahead. A fireplace is the perfect solution and also a beautiful accent in any home. Of course, there are so many different styles to choose from – traditional to modern. So I’d like to know, which one would you like in your home? Seems like a simple question, but I’m always torn between number four and six.

loft space: which one do you adore?

Tuesday, September 27, 2011 / Comments (28)

Let’s be honest, all of us dream about living in a loft at some point in our lives with sky high ceilings, open space, and big lofty windows. Well, Mrs. E is going to be living that dream for all of us in a little over a month. As we began talking about her decor inspiration I came across so many different directions we could take the space – either stick with neutrals for a super clean and sleek look, or go a little more colorful and modern. There are really so many different styles she look at for inspiration. So, I’ve rounded up some of my favorite loft spaces to see which you adore the most. I can’t wait to hear what you all think.

chair: which one do you adore?

Tuesday, August 30, 2011 / Comments (24)

All of us have that favorite chair in our home – whether it’s in your living room, bedroom or a small special nook. It’s a place where you can do anything you want; read, chat with a friend on the phone or drink a warm cup of tea and relax. Chairs come in all shapes and sizes, so what style chair do you adore?

On another note, each week I create this series and I’d love to hear from you – what rooms or areas of rooms would you like to see featured in the next few weeks?

foyer: which one do you adore?

Tuesday, August 23, 2011 / Comments (37)

The foyer is the room that greets you as soon as you step through the front door of any home. This space often gets neglected but it shouldn’t be because your foyer is usually where first impressions are made. When you walk into a home the first thing you see is the foyer – it sets the mood for the entire home. In our home we went for a simple understated look with a round chocolate wood table and a french bistro chair. Whatever the size of your foyer, you should make the most of it!

mantle: which one do you adore?

Tuesday, August 16, 2011 / Comments (20)

While I was in Carmel this past weekend I was in awe of my aunt and uncles renovated home because they still get to work with a blank canvas. All I could think of were the design possibilities that they have in their future. One of my favorite new elements is the large family room, which has a beautiful fireplace and with it’s minimalist mantle it was perfection. It got me thinking about what I would do if I had a mantle – would I keep it minimalist or make it more personal with a bunch of flea market treasures? I’m not quite sure, but there are so many possibilities. How would you decorate your mantle? Or if you have one, how did you decorate it? Chime in!
