Warm Modern Kitchen

I came across this gorgeous kitchen in House Beautiful magazine.  It is large enough to entertain guest but is cozy enough just for two.  Enjoy!

I love the look of the different woods mixed throughout this space

The industrial chairs with wood table is a great contrast

Ikat

An ikat print is one of my favorites! I'm always drawn to these primitive, ethnic designs. I particularly like them because they are distinctive and bold but at the same time have soft, blurred edges.

I love Kirsten's drapery...What a striking ikat pattern!

I think everyone needs a little ikat in their homes!

Guest Post

Today I am featuring my first guest post! I asked Danielle from Danielle Oakey Interiors what she does to make her home feel more like spring? Here is what she had to say...Enjoy!


Hi, I am Danielle from Danielle Oakey Interiors.
I am SO excited for spring and I love adding touches of spring to my home.
This isn't very difficult for me since my home is full of bright colors all year round.

My favorite way to easily and inexpensively welcome spring in my home is by changing up my throw pillows.


These are my "winter" pillows.
I know, not very wintery but I love color!


I decided to tackle making my own throw pillows to save some money.
I had some leftover fabric from my chevron drapery and purchased the floral print from the clearance bin at Jo-Anns for $2.00. It was actually a sample piece that was being discontinued, lucky me!


Looks like spring to me, don't you think?

Thanks so much for having me Lauren and hurry up warm weather!


Make sure you check out Danielle's blog for more inspiring ideas!

Tranquil Bathroom

When I saw this bathroom in my House Beautiful magazine last year I had to rip it out.  This bathroom isn't too beachy, but is very California modern.  It feels as if you are in an underwater spa.

Happy St. Patricks Day! I know for most, this day isn't different from any other, but in my family it's always been a little more special. Today it's my sister's birthday! Happy 21st Jordan!

Succulents

I love succulents! I have at least one in every room in my home.  They have a modern, clean look to them that adds a fresh feel to any space. These plants are easy to care for.  They come in a variety of shapes, colors and sizes that look great clustered or alone.

Tufting

I love look of tufting on furniture...

 Especially on this white leather tufted headboard that I have been drooling over for months!

Tufting used on a bench adds a little bit of visual interest to the end of this bed.

I love the idea of using a tufted coffee table in a living room.

And of course I can't do a post on tufting without including the fabulous 'Barcelona' chair
