Interiors :: Abby Larson's Home

Style Me Pretty was the very first blog I discovered.  I read it before I even really knew what a blog was, I just loved browsing through all of the beautifully photographed weddings.  Today, the site has grown into so much more than a simple wedding website...but it still remains true to founder Abby Larson's lovely and feminine aesthetic.  So imagine my delight when I recently stumble upon Abby's gorgeous New England home in Domino.  I love the pops of color, art, and combination of modern and traditional furniture.  But my favorite part of the house?  Her adorable little yard!

I have always, always, always loved color.  At one point a few years ago my preference towards all things bright was so extreme that I realized I actually did not own one single piece of neutral outerwear {but I did have coats in yellow, indigo, coral, pink...}.  Since that point I have grown to appreciate neutrals {especially in the winter} and have invested in black and tweed jackets, however I know that my eye will always be drawn to pieces of the sugary-sweet variety.  Because pastels are trending in a very serious way this year, I think it is the perfect opportunity to treat myself to a few more girly chic pieces {especially this clutch, this shirt, and this swimsuit}.  Because even when they are no longer "in vogue," pastels will always have a very special place in my heart.

Interiors :: Christine Dovey's Feminine Home

Last week I saw this picture on Pinterest of a stunning white and brass kitchen with feminine accents and an awesome chandelier {any kitchen with a chandelier in it is a winner in my book}, I had to find out who this design darling was that so perfectly crafted my dream kitchen {my only change would be a La Cornue range, of course}.  This marble stunner in fact belongs to Christine Dovey of Bijou & Boheme and was captured by Ashley Capp for Style Me Pretty.  

I adore the light and airy color palette, pattern play, beautiful vignettes, combination of traditional and modern furniture, and pops of gold and brass.  But if I had to pick, my two favorite rooms would be her daughter's room {decorated with gold floral wallpaper and a pale pink ceiling} and {you might find me crazy for saying this} the laundry room.  I have never had romantic feelings towards a utilitarian space like a laundry room, but this one seriously blew. my. mind.  Ryan, if you get me a laundry room like this I *promise* you will have the cleanest clothes in the world!  I know Christine's home has been floating around the internet like crazy {it has been featured by Elements of Style & {this is glamorous} just to name a few} but honestly it is just too good not to share again.  So if you haven't seen it before enjoy, and if you have well you may just want to take another look :)

Interiors :: A Romantic Greenwich Village Apartment

In celebration of all things feminine, I wanted to share with you this beautiful Greenwich Village apartment via {this is glamourous}.  The combination of romantic, bohemian, and rustic design elements create a cozy yet elegant space perfect for entertaining.  I also love the fact that the apartment is in actuality quite small, a refreshing change from many of the New York apartment tours I have seen in the past.  The images were published in 2006 yet it still feels fresh and relevant.  Enjoy!

Interiors :: Love-ly Decor Part II

Although I am drawn to a variety of design styles {masculine, industrial, mid-century modern, etc.} when I skim through my inspiration boards I always come back to rooms with a feminine aesthetic.  It may not always be "on-trend," but I am firm believer to follow what you love versus what the latest design magazine or blog says is the current look.  As a continuation of last year's post, I have rounded up a bunch of new interior inspiration to allow you to indulge your inner girly girl.  Big hearts!
