Room of the Week: Vintage Charm

The pale aqua and cranberry color scheme pulled me into the room, but the floral pattern on the tub chairs kept me there.

These days anything floral hooks me. So different from anything I've liked before, I'm exploring a new appreciation for the old and romantic. Looking around, it's clear that this space is home to a lover of treasure hunting and antiques. Between the Swedish grandfather clock and weathered wood floors, it's the perfect image of updated vintage charm, wouldn't you say?

Room of the Week: Casual Glamour

Fabulosity! That's not a word I usually use but somehow this room fills me with the urge to say it! There are so many things I love about this space, I don't know where to start. So let's start from the top...

That chandelier! The glistening crystal droplets (with a few pink ones thrown in for good measure) set the chic factor high for this room. Next, my eye drops to the mass of gilded gold in the coffee table and seals the deal for a fabulously glamorous space. And if the architectural elements are characteristically square, then the furniture is necessarily curved. The roundness of those plush, hairy little poufs tickle my visual senses with whimsy and delight! And then there's the color! All those muted, neutral tones with just a blush of pink, punctuated by that gorgeous fuchsia in the artwork packs quite the palette punch!
