add a little drama..

Susan Ferrier always knows how to make the most beautiful spaces.  I love this just as much as so many others I have featured here on the blog.  The sofa itself is to die for!  I love the stone on the table to add that extra bit of dark drama to the space though. The color palette is based off of a pair of Uniforms from the owner Mary Pirllaman's Great Grandfather (one shown below).  What an amazing bit of inspiration.  I love everything about it!

Dark grey and the chesterfield

 

Sometimes simplicity is the most wonderful thing.  Don't you think?  This is so fantastic, I know this is not how one would live- believe me I know that all too well.  But I love the idea of the whole space painted the same color with simple wood detailing to keep it interesting.  I can just imagine it with a great classic yet modern chandelier and some interesting furnishings.  What about you- what would you do?

Wishing you a dreamy Tuesday day!

 

California style {Ryan Murphy at home in Hollywood}

 

Ryan Murphy and David Miller's California home is the perfect mix of old California and new.  I love the clean lines of the kitchen mixed with the rustic table and it's wood and leather chairs. Each space seems to pull it off perfectly with a simple palette and clean white walls.

Dark doors

 

I loved the feeling of this space, it feels lived in and well loved.  That tree I think is what really makes it come a live.  Just that little bit of life in the greenery is perfection.

Preppy Grey..

 

This is such a fun twist on the dark grey, it is well used in this office space and it is nice to see something a little different.  That desk doesn't hurt either.  I love that they used the rug for texture and I think it makes it just casual enough.

final...

Ahh,  a few little snaps from my final install of last week.  It was nice to put the major part of the work behind me.  There are always little changes to be made and switch outs that need to happen as with all installs.  It seems that inevitably there is something that arrives broken, in the wrong color or just does not arrive at all, and you have to be able to make the decision on a moments notice as to whether making a switch will change your vision for the project or if it will make it even better. 

There is nothing relaxing or easy about the install days, it is a bunch of work with the greatest of rewards- a finished project!

 

Dark Grey and green...

 

Oh my goodness friends... it has been quite a week!  I know it's not over but it is coming to an end right?  I am not complaining (much) this first full week of school for the kids and a ton have work are really taking their toll.  

It's funny, when life is crazy busy I seem to think of more things to add to the list, I want to have a party and I cannot get it off of my mind!  Okay I will stop with the rambling and imagine myself in this space with the touch of greenery to sooth my wild brain.

Shop design {industrial mix}

 

I am completely in love with this shop!  I have a thing for a mix of home goods and fashion though.  I think that they go hand in hand and that typically those who love to decorate love to dress in a similar fashion.  Don't you think?  

This space is fantastic, one of those shops I could spend too much money in and come home feeling very inspired!  I love the way the bright colors of the clothing play off of the relaxed darker furnishings.

Lifestyle in grey..

 

It is always a nice relief to do a little something creative when you get inspired.  These are just a few of the wonderful things I have been seeing out there and they make for a great combination in a sitting area don't you think?

Sometimes you just have to be dark and moody!  I think this is an amazing space and the design is fantastic...love the dark tone and tone.

Finished up..

 

I wanted to show you a little update on my vintage sofa.  I picked it up a little while back but have not had a chance to take a full picture of it.  I love it- I went with the dark grey linen and added vintage wheels to bring it up a little bit for the room.  I love love it!

What do you think?  Have you had much success with reupholtsering vintage pieces?
