Today's rain and colder weather has me absolutely dreaming of better days. I stumbled upon these spectacular homes in California that helped brighten my day right up.
For example this home by Laura and Homer Oatman takes my breath away.
That extrodornary lamp also caught my eye. Brilliant!
In my opinion, Jeff Andrews took a risk with the color pallette of this space. However, it truely paid off! The dark colors work even in this LA home because of the daylighting that comes into play. Truely insipiring!
If this space doesn't scream San Francisco chic, then I don't know what does! The punchy colors and modern vibe make this space the ultimate hang out spot. I just wish this photo showed more of the amazing view outside...
Wow! Life sure has been busy. I finished my spring semester and now have more time to contribute to my blog. During my last semester I took Lighting, which has always been an enticing field of study to me. I fell in love with the fact that light can encourage mood and feeling and evoke passion, as well as distaste. I find myself being attracted to lighting with an interesting twist.
The cove lighting in this space gives depth and demension and the design created with the recessed cans outlines them nicely.
I am in love with the note light fixture. I wonder if you can add your own personal notes...
Great idea for accent lighting under the island.

I'm so excited for
TRADHome coming to us from the wonderfully creative minds behind
LonnyMag.
If you haven't taken a peek yet, please do so asap! You will not regret it. It has an elegant flow and I fell in love within the first few pages. Here are some of my favorite spreads so far:
So scrumptiously gorgeous and bright, you have check it out now!
The place you lay your head at night should be warm, inviting, comfortable, simple, and free of distractions. Your day is busy enough with various events that the one place that you should be able to feel no pressure is in your bedroom. Here are some bedrooms that have the perfect amount of personality and yet, are overcome with simple sophistication.
So, I don't normally find myself attracted to such cutesy things but these pet pillows by
Pillow Pillow Pillow are by far the cutest things I've seen in a while. They would actually look really nice in a variety of settings; children's bedroom, pediatric area, or even a funky/modern living space. If a couple is expecting, these pillows could also bring the sophistication down a notch, in space not necessarily designed with little ones in mind, without killing the entire mood.
Can you tell all of my favorites are the puppies?
