Interiors :: Holiday Decor

Well hello there long lost friends!  I am a little embarrassed how MIA I have been these past few weeks, especially given the fact that the holiday season is always my favorite time in the blogosphere.  With my new job, getting ready for Christmas, and the house hunting process {we're in the process of closing on a house!}...I haven't seemed to find a free minute to spend on this here little blog.  I'm really hoping that once we're moved into the new house and I'm settled into my new job I'll be able to start blogging more regularly, because truth be told I miss you guys so much!

Interiors :: Rug Styling with Chairish

A few weeks ago Chairish, the world's first online consignment shop for the design obsessed, reached out to me to see if I'd be interested in styling one of their rugs for an upcoming post.  We're in the process of looking at houses so it was a no-brainer for me!  It was hard to pick a favorite rug, but when I came across this gorgeous distressed oushak rug I was absolutely smitten.  I love the classic patina and the muted color palette.  Pair it with refined neutrals, distressed leather, and antique art for an elegant and cozy space.

Interiors :: A Dream Farmhouse Tour

Oh. my. gosh.  I need to prepare you for this one.  This Oklahoma farmhouse is overflowing with warmth, charm, pops of color, and rustic elegance.  I love the gorgeous views, the sprawling porches, the whitewashed walls, the outdoor spaces, and the stunning kitchen.  But my favorite part of the house?  The two adorable reading nooks!  For more photos read the full article on Style Me Pretty Living.

Interiors :: A Traditional Chic Home Tour

Get ready to feast your eyes on this beautiful home designed by Irene of designstiles.  The traditional home is filled with elegant textiles, perfectly patinaed vintage rugs and mirrors, and a healthy dose of feminine glamour - all tied together with a lovely neutral palette {plus a few splashes of color of course} that makes the home feel elegant while being immensely relaxed and livable.  I especially love the wallpapered powder room, custom designed vanity, and the too cute for words nursery.  Read more about the home and design process here and see even more photos here.

Interiors :: A Bright & Airy San Francisco Victorian Home

If you've noticed an exponential increase in the number of my interiors pins, it's because Ryan and I are just starting to think about buying a house.  While there's still a lot we need to figure out {all I know is we. must. have. an old house}, the idea of it has taken over my brain!  Now I'll be the first to admit that I absolutely love taking a peek into fabulous, luxurious homes {example: this stately New York townhouse}...but lately I've been drawn towards ones that seem more do-able for a first home :) I'm particularly drawn to Miriam Schneider's San Francisco Victorian with it's high ceilings, abundance of natural light, and unique combination of modern & traditional, feminine & masculine.  I love that it feels like a home {versus a showroom} and feels like normal people live there.  And how amazing is that outdoor space?  For more, check out the full Rue Magazine article here.

Interiors :: Michelle Smith's Manhattan Home

Last week we took a look inside of Michelle Smith's chic Sag Harbor cottage, so today I wanted to share with you her equally lovely Greenwich Village home.  And let me tell you - it does not disappoint.  I love how Smith seems to always find the perfect balance between causal and refined, rustic and feminine - creating a space that is both incredibly sophisticated while remaining utterly livable.  Want to see more?  Check out Smith's interview with One Kings Lane here.

Interiors :: A Cozy Sag Harbor Cottage

Tuesday was officially the first day of fall {hooray!} so I thought fitting to share the absolutely perfect Sag Harbor cottage of interior designer Michelle Smith.  I love how the home {built in 1790!} seems invite you to come in and curl up under a blanket, yet still feels incredibly chic thanks to Michelle's impeccable style and many gorgeous vintage finds.  Can you imagine a more lovely place to spend your autumn weekends?  Read more about the home and follow Michelle around Manhattan for a day here.

Interiors :: A Parisian Dream

Oh my gosh.  Prepare yourself for this view.  And this apartment.  Filled with gilded mirrors, crown molding, luxurious fabrics, and a gorgeous neutral color palette, this Parisian home would be magnificent no matter the location.  But add a devastatingly beautiful view of the The Grande Dame herself, and well, you get the point :) SWOON!

Interiors :: Pottery Barn Teen

Maison Bookcase // Lilac Bed //  Tufted Desk Chair // A-Frame Desk with Gold Legs // Border Duvet Cover // Kennedy Task Lamp // Emily + Meritt Floor Mirror // Emily + Meritt Scalloped Sham // Emily + Meritt Striped Bed Skirt // Shelby Dresser // Chris Burkard Lacquer Photography, Wave Curl // Parisian Headboard // Kilim Rug // Maison Canopy Bed // Emily + Meritt Wardrobe Rack

I spent a solid 10 years of my life living and breathing Pottery Barn Teen.  Throughout middle school, high school, and college my bedroom was decorated in various shade of pastel, filled with mix and match lighting, patchwork quilts, and white wooden furniture - all from my beloved Pottery Barn Teen.  Now that I'm in my mid-20's I think my style is a little more grown-up, but recently I have found myself back on the PB Teen band wagon. 

Interiors :: An Eclectic California Home

Last week while perusing Rue Magazine I came across the eclectic California home of Angel and Tom, owners of Nadeau Furniture, the fastest growing furniture company in the United States.  The couple turned to Homepolish to help them decorate their Brentwood home on a budget.  I love the light and airy color palette {those lilac accents are gorgeous}, feminine furniture, and how bright and open the space is.  My one caveat is the taxidermy.  I'm just not a fan and feel there are so many other cruelty-free ways to add a rustic masculinity to a space.  However, those french doors in the living room?  SWOON!

Interiors :: An Eclectic Georgian Home

Well hello there!  Sorry for the radio silence over here...to be honest I think I've just now fully recovered from a weekend of girl time, cheese, and maybe just a little too much wine.  But there isn't much better in my book than catching up with an old friend, it's good for the soul!

Today I wanted to share with you the absolutely gorgeous home of designer Lisa Sherry and her husband, photographer Ron Royals.  Recent empty nesters {are they really old enough to have college-aged children?!}, Lisa and Ron weren't planning on relocating or upsizing.  But, over the course of many morning runs, they fell in love with the 6,000 square foot Georgian home which sat vacant for years.  And to be honest, can you blame them?!  More photos below...

Interiors :: An Industrial Chic LA Home

I think it's safe to say that I'm absolutely in love with Amy Walker and Reid Carolin's 1920's Los Angeles home.  The stylish couple worked with interior designer Sally Breer to create the perfect balance of masculinity and femininity.  I love the muted color palette paired with more edgy pieces, but my favorite element of the house has to be that gorgeous zinc bar.  Read more about the beautiful home in Domaine.

Interiors :: Colleen Locke's Nashville Home

I recently stumbled across Interior Designer Colleen Locke's Nashville home in domino, and let's just say it was love at first sight.  The combination of great architecture, light and airy spaces, pops of gold, mixture of traditional pieces and rustic antiques, and a just a dash of modernity is spot-on.  While I love every room...I'd have to say the kitchen and bedroom are my favorite.  Can you even imagine cooking dinner every night on that gorgeous range then drifting to sleep under that beautiful chandelier?  What a dream!

Interiors :: Bright & Airy

Yesterday while perusing through sfgirlbybay I came across the bright and cheerful home of blogger Sofia.  What a breath of fresh air!  I adore the whitewashed walls, huge windows, and pops of graphic color and pattern.  Isn't it lovely?
