I don't know why spaces like this make me so happy? Is it the fresh flowers, the bright color of the oranges, the intriguing photography, or the beautiful simplicity? I can't really pin-point it, but I love it all!
On this Monday, (Yuck! - weekend, where did you go? You never stay around long enough!) I need something to raise my spirits a bit, and believe it or not, this kitchen does just that! And that's a good thing - we have another week to make it through and I'm already struggling!
Normally I'm not a fan of the 70s, but I'm loving these interiors by Jamie Bush. Unlike most 70s references, these have class and sophistication that leave me drooling!
The muted colors and clean space are just so right. Just look at those chandeliers in the dining room paired with the sleek table - so right! And that couch - so right! (I need it! Seriously!)
I think I'm loving the 70s, and trust me, that's the last thing I thought I would ever say.
Thought I would splurge and give a little more Alexa-love to you all. Her awkwardness just couldn't be more right in my book. That's what I like (if you haven't figured out yet) a little off beat, a little out of the ordinary. It comes out so perfectly and so fresh! I can't get enough of Alexa and could just admire her style all freakin' day!
Much to my surprise as I was perusing my favorite photography blogs today, (yes, at work - shh!) I stumbled upon a post devoted to me - Bohemia!
Kate Mefford is 1. a dear friend and 2. a terrific photographer. We first crossed paths 2 years ago when she photographed my wedding and all the shin-digs that go along with it. We clicked from the beginning and have never looked back. We could ramble along for hours talking about inspiration for shoots, great magazine spreads, creative ideas, or basically anything and everything. Now she is our go-to gal whenever we need photos, no matter the occasion. Check out her sweet post about Bohemia here. (And don't forget to look around her site and blog - as it is so so fabulous, just like her!)
PS - A little side note to all you brides out there - 1. If you can get Kate, book her and fast. She is amazing! 2. If you would like any help with your wedding (ideas, venues, creative inspiration, etc) shoot me an email or leave a comment and I'd love to help any way that I can.
Today was a struggle, let me tell you. It was just dragging by and didn't want to end. But finally, it did - thank goodness!
Now I can focus my attention on something a little more amusing - the spectacular fashion of Alexa Chung. (I just love her and can't say that enough! Love her!) She has the perfect mix of quirky, simplistic, trendy, and modern all rolled into one glamorous little ball. Just look at her in that simple leopard shift! Now, I'm not a huge animal print kind of gal, but I could definitely see myself sporting this little number a la Miss Alexa.
OK guys, take note - you can have a masculine apartment that doesn't have to be a pig-sty with no styling direction. The photographer Roland Belo's apartment is absolutely jaw-dropping - just look at that couch, that kitchen, that dining room table - oh my!Even though the hubby has great taste, I will say that before we got married, his house was a far cry from Roland's above. The minimalism and earthy colors show no sign of the feminine touch, but it all comes together so perfectly and doesn't look harsh at all.
I'll admit, that I would even love to call this home. Great design has no limits for gender! Guys, you gotta step it up!
