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 :: 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 :: 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!

Art :: Teil Duncan's Studio

I first came across artist Teil Duncan's work a couple of months ago in this Glitter Guide feature, and absolutely fell in love with her colorful, feminine, and summery aesthetic.  Isn't her pint-sized studio just packed to the brim with gorgeousness?  I'd love to add a few of her pieces to our gallery wall.  Shop her work here!

Interiors :: A Victorian Home

Well hello there!  We made it back from Florida yesterday and I am trying to get back in the swing of things...aren't those first few days after vacation always the hardest?  Meanwhile, I have been absolutely swooning over the gorgeous 1868 Victorian home of Annie Brahler.  Located in Jacksonville, Illinois, Annie's home is overflowing with gilt mirrors, antique furniture, stunning chandeliers, and beautiful architecture.  However, the neutral palette makes sure that the home feels lived-in and never stuffy.  Oh, and did I mention the closet?!

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 :: 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!
