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.

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.

Design Library: the natural home by hans blomquist

I was looking through some books over the weekend and realized that I needed to share one with you!  I picked up The Natural Home in a shop here locally one day and fell in love.  Of course the imagery is beautiful but it was the variety that really pulled me in.  There is a little something for most every taste and the mix of vintage is fantastic.   My favorite space that they explore and talk about is from Oliver Gustav.  His shop and is amazing.  

Many of the images from this book have made their rounds on the web but I love to have a book to browse through at my leisure, I have more than enough according to my husband, but you can never under estimate the power of really turning those pages and the way your mind can wander.

Dark and Moody

 

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.

What do you think?  Do you like it?

 

 

Dark in the kitchen

 

This kitchen is so beautiful.  What do you think of the dark finish?  I tend to lean towards a light or white kitchen more often than not.  I love the stools too!

What do you think are you a light or a dark kitchen fan?
