My Style: Spanish Home

This home in Spain has an interior that fits my taste perfectly.  Crisp white walls with splashes of color here and there make this space contemporary yet comfortable.  I love the textures of the molded plastic dining chairs, cowhide rug, and sweater-like throw.

Wedding Inspiration: Ralph Lauren

I fell in love with this wedding inspiration shoot on Style Me Pretty inspired by Ralph Lauren.  Everything about this set is fresh and different.  The white hydrangeas paired with pheasant feathers, the beautiful gown contrasting with riding boots, and the simple burlap underneath the china plates make for beautiful contrasts.

Room of the {Productive} Week

I thought this home office space would be the perfect inspiration to encourage a productive week.  A lot of us have projects and tests before Thanksgiving Break, so this interior is just what we need to inspire us to buckle down and work hard!

Fresh Transitional Palette

I am adoring this fresh color palette.  Its perfect for the transition from fall to winter.  This combination of images definitely makes for one of my most favorite mood boards I've ever created.  Cotton, melon, and minty teals are the common threads throughout all these gorgeous photos.

Architectural Facade: Hover House 3

When I stumbled across this home on Contemporist, I immediately noticed the different patterns and rhythms that make up the facade.  X-shaped bracing, horizontal slats, vertical elements, and polka-dot-like lighting create a patchwork effect that keeps your eye traveling to all the different spaces.  

Designed by Glen Irani Architects, this home is the third in their Hover House Series. This series aims to maximize outdoor living on small lots by 'hovering' the building envelope above grade level. The home not only has a reduced footprint but also incorporates sustainable design elements such as roof-mounted photovoltaic panels that offset 80% of its power demands.

The recessed lighting appears to be sporadic, but lights the different areas appropriately.  The concrete walls, slate floors, and metal accents give the interior a clean, contemporary feel.

The courtyard cuts through the interior shell, allowing natural light into all corners of the space.  The X-shaped bracing seen on the facade is echoed on the interior courtyard wall.

{Outdoor} Room of the Week

I adore this outside space designed by Timothy Whealon.  The crisp whites combined with yellow zebra print pillows and a bold striped awning make for a classic space that has been jazzed up with unexpected statement pieces.
