See How Fashion Relates to Interiors

Hi Everyone,

Cynthia Rowley just recently advertised one of  her beautiful new dress  designs for Spring.  In My opinion, Its feminine yet simple and elegant and really the subtle touches in the details makes the design.  Ruffles around the neck and bodice, plus the interesting graphic design printed on the bottom portion of the dress.  Now lets take a  look at similar images as these dresses and translate them to the pretty rooms with interesting details.

Similar pastel colors in the painting and pillows.   Nailhead details on the furniture and pinch pleat sewing technique on the pillows.  The graphic design is mimicked on the rug.

We have all seen this beautiful image from Joanna Gaines, Fixer Upper.  Lots of pretty details similar color palette.

If you love this look in bedding, Bella Notte has beautiful cotton and linen bedding with all the gorgeous details.

Fashion  design very much correlates to interiors.  I wish I was a few years younger! I might just have to purchase that dress:)

Vintage, Girlie Bedroom-Part 1

Hi Everyone,

 Sorry for the long absence. Between school functions, Spring Break and preparing for Montessori Night this Mom hasn't had much time to dedicate to the blog. So today I started thinking of Jordan's big girl bedroom. I recently, infact way to fast, sold her crib. I have yet to purchase her bed, so for now she is sleeping in the guest bedroom. I recently spotted a headboard which I am thinking I will reupholster and paint, but haven't yet decided...

So this is what I know for sure will be in her bedroom. This vintage wing chair, which I reupholstered here in a cream linen fabric.



 

This little distressed footstool with handmade pillow.  Please see this post of my distressed furniture piece.

  This dresser, which I will probably leave untouched...

I think these are the fabrics and colors I will use in the room.  I love all neutrals, white, cream, gray but also loving the yellow and gray combination.  By the way, these chevron/ikat fabric pillows are available in my Etsy Store.

So at this point I have the basic color scheme/style and most of the furniture pieces.  I am still undecided about the headboard, paint on walls and rug. All fun stuff to mull over.  Please check in with me tomorrow for the painted mirror reveal, using Miss Mustard paint.

As always, Thanks for reading this blog.  Hope your weekend was wonderful and your Spring Break.

XOXO

Vintage, French Inspired

Readers,

There is something so magical about neutrally decorated homes with a french flair.  To me they are peaceful, serene and beautiful.    Bedrooms and living rooms are especially appealing being both unpretentious yet elegant. I have pulled together a few pictures that I love and wanted to share with you.

Love the linen fabrics and then punches of color in fabrics and paintings

I could stay in this room all day

and curl up in this bed with a great book.  The details are amazing.

This vignette is timeless.

Brook Giannetti's Bedroom is to die for.

Tone on Tone Blogspot.  Beautiful neutrals paired with silver antiques

Restoration Hardware playroom.  So sophisticated yet fun and functional.

Hope your weekend was lovely,  whether it be productive or peaceful.

XOXO
