Divine Details

There is nothing better than amazing architectural elements…

This molding and those floors
That arch…
Those beams!

I’ll admit it… don’t throw things at me… I initially wanted the wainscoting in my apartment removed… the developer was horrified. It just felt out of place in a new construction, city condo. They convinced me to keep it. Some days I love it. Others not so much. But it definitely adds character and thats something I definitely dont mind.

Do you have any amazing detailing in your home??

Oh and also… based on your AMAZING reaction to my vote post yesterday, I’m thinking I should do those everyday! Just kidddding, but seriously wow. And just so you all know… I think I’m going with A, but want to buy B for my bedroom. Someone want to finance my lighting addiction?

Have a fantastic weekend. Thank you so much for all of your encouraging comments this week. You are all seriously amazing. xoxo

Grey for the day

Is there anything more perfect than cream or white paired with grey? And even better when there are pops of geometric patterns, black and colorful flowers.

This is exactly where my living room takes inspiration from. One day I will get my walls repainted and my couches reupholstered, and you’ll see. Sound far away? Hopefully not. Making baby steps everyday.




So with this… does anyone have recommendations for a nice, middle value grey? Here is the thing… can’t have too much red (goes totally purple in my space), but don’t want too much blue either (too cold for me). The best I’ve found so far is Anonymous by Behr at 25%. Any other ideas?

And PS thank you all for your sweet comments about my sisters work, glad we share the admiration. She’s a talented little one isn’t she?

And PPS that last, gorgeous entry way belongs to a fellow blogger! Aren’t you in love?
