The height and visual interest in the banquette backing in a casual dining spot anchors and sets the stage for this serene pale turquoise kitchen. Tobi Fairley used this stunning Schumacher print in such a fantastic way. Just as an upholstered headboard acts as a focal point in the bedroom, this fabric panel seems inviting and just gorgeous. See more of this kitchen in this article by At Home In Arkansas.
What is black and white and oh so nice? This freestanding bath tub by Aquatic! The Serenity 11 is available in many different colour combinations, and as an air bath as well. It is stunning in black and white, especially here combined with a venetian mirror leaning on an off-white painted and panelled wall, and black and white marbled floors.
Architectural Digest recently wrote an article featuring the stunning home of Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne in Hidden Hills, California. The light and airy feel of their living room is light-heated and calming. The one thing that stood out the most to me was the eye-catching profiles of the Martyn Lawrence-Bullard designed wing chairs. They act as an anchor in the room, deepening the tone and punctuating the light washes of colour.
The outdoor scenery surrounding this powder room in Beaver Creek, Colorado is the catalyst for the rustic yet refined design by Billy Beson. Bringing the elements of earth into this space feels so natural, just look at the fantastically textured vanity stone basin with polished top, organically shaped quarts light pendants, twig shaped door handle, and plastered and warm honey-colored walls. Can you get this look? Absolutely.
Nothing compares to the reflection of natural light and the purity and serenity it implies. That is certainly the case in the Alcove Suite at the Royalton Hotel in New York. Designed by Philippe Starck, the tub surround is studded with mirrored tiles. It is just magical. A monochromatic scheme or very neutral palette works best when using a lot of mirror, otherwise, you may get a look that is way too busy.
The smart round marble top coffee table by cb2 is a simple and elegant table that could be used in so many settings. If you are a stylish 20-something just starting your furniture collection in your new apartment, or a hip older generation ready to flip your old table for something new, well this has your name written all over it. Carrara style marble has that ink blot sublinimal effect on me.
How sweet it is! I have weddings on the mind, you see, my little sister is getting married at the end of the summer and this is what I think about. While looking for different ideas I came upon this happy little theme: Carnival!!! For anyone having a reception in a big white tent, consider the vibrant hues and cheerful accents that go along with this spectacular country fair/ carnival/ circus theme.
When plan A (a glass and steel contemporary structure) and plan B (a repurposed church house with 50′ ceilings) were not feasable on this windy hilltop in Cape Breton, Eliot and Alexandra Angle decided upon a simply marvellous barn-style cottage that is as fresh as the air around it. Take a look inside…..
You have no idea just how excited I was when I found these appliances! They are stainless steel and look pretty much the same as all the other appliances out there you say? Well, yes, but LOOK at the overall dimensions! 24″…..for a fridge? Pricing is not to shabby either. For the average suburban homeowner this may not be a big deal, but for a cramped condo city dweller, the smaller appliances mean so much more. What does it mean? Well, 24″ or so of increased cabinet space goes a long way way when you don’t have place to store dishtowels, pots, or dry pantry items.
