a Home Tour worthy of adoration

Feminine interior decor is always a favorite of mine. I love love love the look of a woman's home, it reminds me of my mom. Bright whites and pinks with floral and french accents and a touch of modern. This beautiful space is right up my alley and I wanted to share because I bet it would be right up your alley too. The name of the design firm had me at hello!  
The Cross Design...i love it!

bliss in the kitch' ...let them eat cake!

I just have such a crush on this adorable + oh-so-girlie kitchen.
Her name is Caroline and she lives in D.C. and has a penchant for pink accessories.
I find her decor style very relatable and definitely a space worthy of showcasing.

Lovely dishware on display makes this kitchen delightful...so very anthropologie.

More photos from her hometour that I really love...
(girlfriend has some fantastic art, seating and a swoon worthy shoe collection!)


it doesn't get much better than this {dining room decorating}

luxeandlillies

flightsofwhimsy

 I am just loving the fact that each of these dining rooms are based with white walls + accent colors! What a fabulous way to add a pop of style without commiting to an entire color change. This is perfect for a decorista like me, as I am obsessed with redecorating to fit my mood.
The rooms that have pink are not overtly feminine either, so husbands can deal. ;)
Supremely good + dramatic lighting tops it off with perfection and of course mismatched seating.  Swoooooooon!  

Hope I inspire your weekend lovelies! 
Thank you for being the best readers + commenters EVER this week.
Your comments crack me up and make my day.
love to you!
 

a nursery to adore...Tori Spelling's bff's "the guncles"

People magazine did a spread on the fabulous + oh so chic nursery of baby Simone, the new addition to the "guncles" from Tori and Dean. (Man, I am missing that show) I absolutely love this nursery! The hot pink walls and cute owl theme is just adorable. Who doesn't love an entire wall painted in chalkboard paint? I would have loooooved that as a kid. They make such a cute little family, no?
The fab chair + ottoman shown above are from the fab ladies at SPI...check it out here!

NY Times Room Makeover...indian sanctuary by Vicente Wolf

Check out this spare room makeover of Harrice Miller, a fab costume jeweler in Manhattan.
Now she has the perfect place to entertain her rockstar clients.
Mastermind Vicente Wolf tricked it out with a $5,000 budget. Complete with hot pink walls, a purple ceiling, gold accents and uber luxurious fabrics. I think its adorable, especially for the kind of clients she entertains.

a House Beautiful as ever! {manhattan apartment love}

Have you guys seen the lastest issue of House Beautiful?
I cannot get over the cover + the gorgeous NYC apartment that graces it.
Lots of color (as i'm sure you can guess) is my favorite, I literally get some serious pleasure looking at homes with extremely bold color palates. It warms my soul and feeds my eyes to see such goodness.
This gorgeous pink wallpaper is amazing! Chinoiserie, hello, i love you!
Oh, and of course all of the purple in this space....sigh.

In this June's issue of Instyle Kelly Wearstler opens up about her office space...
"My office space feels so festive-the artwork by Lana Gomez pulls it all together. It's like an outfit that you put on and think, Wow, that looks great!"
(I'm was thrilled to find out who the artist is, because I have been dying to check out her work.)


fuschia mod chairs + yellow walls + colorful abstract art by Lana Gomez = love
