Small appliances are a fantastic way to add a shock of colour or add primary direction for a kitchen palette. Incorporate a fun colour in your kitchen cabinetry as a painted back bead-board like in this kitchen, or through small appliances like the Kitchenaid stand mixer– it is available in 27 colours like pistachio or persimmon.
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.

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.

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.
