My master bedroom is in major need of a makeover. I’m looking for something that will feel calming and effortless. Today I’m drawn to blue (who knows what tomorrow will bring).
Here are a few designs that I find inspiring.

black walls, bold, decorate, Interior design

When it comes to interiors, black is the new black. Nothing short of taboo, black walls are having a major moment in interior design.  So today I’m showcasing not 5, not 10, but 15 bold and beautiful black walled interiors.

Happy Friday everyone!  Bring on the weekend!

So lately, I’ve been obsessed with patterned floors.  It takes a bit of guts, but in the right space it can be just the right amount of excitement to make a room pop.

Here are 5 floors that I’m absolutely loving right now.

Hello, Handsome!

Today I’m trading in feminine-chic for masculine-handsome.  Presenting the “Dapper Man Cave”. No kegs or neon signs here… just an ultra-handsome hangout that’s hip, distinguished and a little bit seductive.  Despite the mounted bullhead (don’t worry, it’s faux), this man cave reads more Don Draper than Paul Bunyan.  It’s a versatile space that’s the perfect mix of modern and rustic; masculine enough for him, but polished enough for her (that is, if she’s ever allowed to enter :))

From left to right: Wallpaper – Graham & Brown | Sofa – Jonathan Adler, wayfair.com | Cashmere Throw – Bronte Moon, occa-home.co.uk | Cardboard Bullhead – Cardboard Safari | Light Fixture – unknown, similar at Restoration Hardware| Coffee Table – BDI USA, allmodern.com | Bar Cart – Arteriors Home, zincdoor.com | Decanter – LSA, occa-home.co.uk | Leather Recliner – Crate & Barrel | Wall Clock – Kenneth Wingard, inmod.com

Any other items or finishing touches you’d like to see in the “cave”?

Ciao for Now,

♥♥ Vicky

Top 10 Casper Kitchens

Today we’re in the kitchen. Often called the heart of the home, it’s the place where families gather and meals are made (or in my case, heated in the microwave).

Lately, I’m seriously intrigued by white kitchens. Whether they be pure white-on-white, or incorporate tonal creams and grays, here’s a collection that I absolutely love.

Glam Restful Romantic Bedroom

14 Wednesday May 2014

Posted by HOMErandRuth in Decor, Room Design

≈ 2 Comments

Tags

bedding, bedroom, bench, chandelier, chest, curtains, headboard, nightstand, rug, table lamp, window treatments

When it comes to designing bedrooms, I have 3 rules:

1. The room must be a place that invites relaxation, tranquility and restfulness.  This means a muted, simple and cool color palette is a must: think grey, pale blue, lavender or pale green.

2. A bedroom should feel romantic.  Things that evoke romance in a room? Curved lines, soft simple bedding and ethereal details like lace and glass.

3. Lastly, I always like to infuse a little bit of glamour.  In a bedroom this means reflective surfaces, wallpaper and ALWAYS, ALWAYS a fabulous chandelier.

Keeping my 3 key principles in mind, here’s my latest design for a relaxing, romantic and glamorous bedroom

1. Lace-inspired wallpaper: Graham & Brown Jewel Wallpaper – 2modern | 2. Chandelier: Bellina Chandelier in Platinum – Z Gallerie | 3. Mouthblown glass lamp: Lafayette 27″ Table Lamp – Home Decorators Collection| 4. Drapery panels: Ciudad Window Panel in sand – Pier 1 Imports | 5. Rug: Jaipur Rugs Capri Flat Weave – Gilt Home | 6. Mirrored nightstand: Amelie Mirrored Nightstand – Horchow | 7. Bench: Denison Mirrored Bench – Horchow | 8. Bedding: Donna Karan City Strip Duvet – Gilt Home | 9. Upholstered headboard: Pondicherry Headboard with Nailheads in Mist Linen – Serena & Lily

So, what do you think?

Ciao for Now,

Ask H&R: Rug to Match Cranberry Red Sofa

Happy Saturday everyone!  Today’s post is in response to a question from one of my readers. She just bought this BEAUTIFUL sofa…

20140226-223104.jpg

Gorgeous, right?!?

So now she’s looking for a rug to complement it. I happen to know that she has a toddler, so I decided to go with options that have a darker base color (spill, what spill?).  I also wanted to make sure to not pick anything that was crazy expensive (well, maybe just one).  I’m giving her a few different options depending on the style and feel she’s envisioning for her space.

So… here are 4 picks from one of my secret go to sites for rugs

sophisticated & Contemporary

20140226-222231.jpg
Keno Trellis Rug

refined & Traditional

20140226-222310.jpg
Finland Oramo Cobblestone Rug

Fun & Graphic

20140226-222343.jpg
Randiante Nuo Chevron Rug

bold & Eclectic

20140226-222419.jpg
Multi-Color Ikat Rug

Fingers crossed she likes one of them.

As promised, I’m back with more details on Keira’s nursery.  Last post I highlighted some of the key large pieces in the room, but we all know that they key making a room feel put together is the styling.

Lucky for us, many of the cute pieces in the room were gifts from friends and family, but you really don’t have to spend a ton of money to add some personality to a space.

Well, that’s all for now.  I have just one final post about the nursery that I’ll share over the weekend. Hope you’re enjoying it.

Keira’s Nursery Chapter I: The Room

Okay, so after many months of promising to share pics of Keira’s nursery, I’m finally doing it.  I’m super pleased with how the room turned out. Between a couple of splurges, quite a bit of bargain hunting and some DIY projects, I was able to complete the space and come in under my $3000 budget… hooray!

I wanted a room that was feminine but not too girly or young.  The color palette consisted primarily of various shades of pink (but NOT pink walls), white, grey and gold as that perfect sophisticated accent.

IMG_1048IMG_1049IMG_1054_2IMG_1050 IMG_1053

The wall color (Mauve Morning by BEHR; The Home Depot) creates a calming ambiance that really grounds the room.  Surprisingly my husband picked the color (well, he selected it out of the 3 swatches I put on the wall).  

Here are details on some of the key products in the room.

IMG_1095South Shore Cotton Candy 4-Drawer Dresser – Target
Note: I added a little twist to the dresser… more to come in a future post

Hope you love the space as much as I do.  Stay tuned for more details of how the space came together.

♥♥ Vicky

P.S. Curious to see before pictures… here you go

Design Poll: Too Bold or Just Right?

It’s always fun to go for a bold design in a room, but is there such a thing as going too bold?  What about painting the walls of your living room black???

I’ve come across the living room below quite a few times of late in my scouring of Pinterest (you can find me here).

I’m curious to know what you think…
