so pretty

Not sure what I like best about this home.  The wallpaper, the eclectic mix of furniture, the stained glass windows on the bedroom doors or the red flower drapery before you walk into the dining room... I pretty much love it all!

farrow and ball

Was just perusing through the different Farrow & Ball wallpapers for fun and decided to share some of my faves.  They add so much to a space and really brighten up the room.  Would love to use the stripes in an entryway or mudroom, the flower-polka dots would look great in a kid's room and the other patterns would look amazing just about anywhere!

lovely laundry

Who says your laundry room should be a place you dread entering?  Add some wallpaper, flowers and pretty cabinetry and it can be a place you love going into... even if it means you have to fold all your whites.  Here's some proof that laundry rooms, too, can be beautiful.

celeb spotlight: gwyneth paltrow

Uber-feminine and a little bit rock and roll - just like Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin.  Their Hampton's home has just the right combination of the two... absolutely stunning!

Stairways need dressing up, too!  Whether straight or spiral, old or new... these stairs are begging visitors to come on up...
