Inspired Home: Natural Winning

 love the airship art!

Amazing designer, Design star winner and host of the show, secrets of a stylist, Emily Henderson recently shared her home with Victoria of sfgirlbybay. She posts some of her styling secrets here, and blogs here. Her little interview is wonderful, so be sure to check it out.

Her collection of old portraits and paint by number art is not only interesting, but fairly easy to acquire, I see them all the time while thrifting at thift shops, flea markets, garage sales, etsy and ebay...

 Chairs! my fav. And do you notice there is a lot of greenery in her home?
There are also a lot of natural elements to be found. Something I am needing to work on.

 
I've been on the lookout for a good aztec vibe rug... you can see a little peek on one here.

 Kind of loving the cow hide rug, and the cognac tones.

 
 
 You know, I haven't put up my daisy chandelier yet in this home, in part due to the chain.
This photo is making me rethink that decision.

Playfully Somber

floral canopy bed ~ tracery interiors

There is a balance to be had for a somber effect. An endearing touch to make the space inviting,
and it's in those playful touches that can be achieved. The floral canopy isn't particularly somber
with all of the white, but it does have some melancholy feel to it. Perhaps it's just my perception,
with all of the canopies in the victorian gothic novels I have read.

I have an abiding admiration for vintage ephemera and those who procure them so freely for the
internets enjoyment. These images you can print and play with seemed fitting in some way.

I'm actually kind of in love with this bedroom.

Inspired Interiors: Subtle Florals and Natural Pink Undertones


We just got back in town, and my Christmas decorating is still everywhere. I'm longing to put it all away and have a clean slate.  There is something so simple, yet full of character in these following images, I hope to incorporate some sense of crisp color and personality in the home eventually, while maintaining a natural feel. I love the subtle use of florals to work that romantic feel. (If only I could paint those dark beige renter walls.)
Is it just me, or do these images feel a little bit country, a little bit modern?
 
Also, I came across this post at Censational Girl, that talks about taking better pictures of interiors. I guess I had better learn to work my manual shooting!

Possibly my favorite. the plank floors, the modern bed and subtle colors with a flash of florals. 
Such a cozy and airy feeling.
