Inspire

At times, inspiration comes from big things, small things, the unusual, the mundane, the extraordinary, or the ordinary. Sometimes you seek it, and at times it seeks you. Either way, when it hits you know it!

House Tour: Industrial, Meet Rustic

Hello, hello! Happy Friday to you all out there. Did you have a good week? I hope so. I've been plugging along, school keeping me busy, but nobody said love was easy. :-)
I have a beautiful, rustic, industrial, home to share with you, love at first sight it was people. You'll see what I mean soon.

You all know that I'm a sucker for a good mix, and this mix of soft and hard, rustic and clean lines, got me smitten. I love how the black furniture and lighting pops against the white and natural background. Those lights above the dining table are gorgeous. I have my eye on this one at World Market for my own home, and of course I instantly zoned in on these here. That window over the kitchen sink is beautiful, and I can only imagine all the beautiful light it will let in. They used reclaimed oak wood for their cabinets.

I didn't realize at first that the bathtub is in the bedroom, not sure I would like that, however that industrial light over the bathtub I'm all for. The use of that awkward space behind the bed as storage is brilliant. Gorgeous home, no?!

Wishing you all a gorgeous Friday, and weekend ahead.

Colorful Modern Living

I can appreciate modern design, I tend to pick different elements that I think I can incorporate into my personal style. But there is no way I can happily live in a completely modern space. That said, I am really excited about this modern home I'm about to share with you.You see, this home has some beautiful, in your face (in the best way) colors. Pinks, yellows ahhh, just divine! Though it has the clean lines that are true to modern and some minimal aspects, it feels very inviting and warm. You can tell a family lives here.

This is a family home in LA that came to be as a result of 3 womens' collaboration. Great things happen when women work together, don't it? :-) It was a complete renovation.

I love the use of this cork wall as an art display. It's perfect as you can put the holes in it without worrying about a lasting effect.

A quote from the homeowner that I think I will forever remember: “In Latin America, we’re not afraid of color,” says Devis. “Pink occurs in nature. It’s everywhere in the tropics. For us, it isn’t considered ‘girlie’—I love this pink.”
