Some Favorite Design Elements

Hello everyone! I rounded up some wonderful spaces that each have a special feature that makes them extra special. These are some of my favorite design elements done very well. Ready? Here we go.

Martha Stewart Living

There is so much going on in this space that I love, but what stands out the most is that gorgeous vintage chair. I am a sucker for a vintage chair used as a nightstand, or in a bathroom. I have actually been looking for the perfect one for my daughters' bathroom for a while now.

The chair in this bathroom is used in a different way, and I'm loving it. More for it's color than anything else. What drew me to this bathroom though is the use of stripes with those irridescent tiles. It is a very smart and sophisticated way of doing stripes.

Speaking of sophisticated stripes, check out this gorgeous room. The colors are amazing, and I love how airy the space feels.

Okay, c'mon how can I not love this breakfast nook! Not only does it have a wonderful pop of yellow, but a painted door?! Painted doors are my newest obsession. It is one of those things we don't really think of decorating when designing a space because it is just there as a function. Painting a door in a bright color is a clever way of bring in color, and interest to a space.

House to Home

I have a soft spot for doors as headboards and I really like the use of these shutters as a headboard. I like the whole feel of this room, it is very laid back and casual. Like you could walk in and feel completely relaxed.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

Peacock Pavillion

My Marrakesh is one of my absolute favorite blogs. It's owner Maryam tells the most beautiful tales, her way with words is very inspiring, and makes me want to be a great writer every time. She tells stories beautifully with her words, and captivating pictures. Today I want to share the beautiful interiors of her boutique guest house Peacock Pavilion in Marrakesh with you. There is so much beauty and interesting little details in each room. I like scrolling through them every once in a while, and I think, today, we should take a look together. Shall we?

See what I'm talking about? Notice the chair above with the arabic writings on the side? LOVE that, arabic writing is like art anyway so this works beautifully. I love all the colors, patterns textures, there is so many elements going on, and they work harmoniously. Wouldn't you want to spend a lazy few days here? I know I would, Morroco is on top of my list of the places I want to go. I would love to visit this beautiful guesthouse when I get the opportunity.

I love this black and gold room. It reminds me of my childhood, when electricity would go out, we would sit out in the backyard at night chatting, laughing, listen to folk stories and my grandma tell stories of her childhood. On those nights the sky looks so magical with the twinkling stars. 

I hope you escaped into these beautiful interiors with me. 

Have a great day!

Cheerful Interiors

One of the best things about living in the Pacific Northwest is the gorgeous greenery. Like the saying goes though, everything comes at a price and our price for the beautiful nature is LOTS of rain! It has been raining non stop for the last few days. That means cold grey weather over here. I am in need of some cheery colorful spaces. I need to be transported. :-)

If any of you are in a similar predicament, I hope these spaces have gotten you energized. If you are one of the lucky people living in a gorgeous sunny part of the world, then don't tell me! :-) What is going on in your part of the world? I'd like to hear.
