By now we all know that wallpaper has made a major comeback.  Now it’s time to move beyond the basic and safe and embrace the graphic, bold and perhaps a little eccentric.

Here are 25 examples of wallpaper that don’t hold back, and make a purely chic statement.

Trend Alert: Bumble Bee Details are All the Buzz

Call me trendy (lol), but I love coming across details that cross over from interior design to fashion.  Today it’s all about the bumble bee.  If you’re like me, you’re terrified of the little buggers (and will scream at the sight), but that doesn’t mean you can’t love them as a style detail.

Any insect details that you’re bugging out over?

5 Finds: One Kings Lane

Tags

black and white pillow, brass swing arm floor lamp, Interior design, sophisticated furniture, teal velvet chaise, velvet tufted ottoman, white and gold bar cart

If you have a slight shopping obsession (which i may or may not have), and you like pretty things (check), I highly suggest you download the One Kings Lane app onto your phone or iPad (or both like I did). Last night I got totally sucked in, mesmerized by all of the prettiness. Hours later I found myself giddy by all of the glorious finds, and a little sad that I couldn’t buy all of it.

Lucky for you, I’ve narrowed it down to my top 5 picks. A room with any (or all) of these pieces is sure to delight.

Do you have a favorite of the 5? It’s so tough to choose just one!

Happy Monday, everyone!  I figured since it’s the Monday after a 3-day weekend (which seems much more painful than a regular monday), I’d provide you with a little pick me up.  A little bit of pink should perk you right up.

5 Fab Wallpapers You Should Try

03 Thursday Jul 2014

Decorating, Interior design, wallpaper

Okay, so in case you haven’t heard, wallpaper is back! No one is saying that you have to cover every wall in your house, but an accent wall in your living room, bedroom, or a nursery can be just the right touch a room needs.

Here are 5 picks for the most (and less) bold among us.

Bold & Cheerful

I love this for a dining room accent wall to create a more formal but still fun ambiance.

rJungle_Passion__light_gray_background2_turned_right_and_layered_large_for_MORGAN_large_scale_preview

 

Subtle & Soft

For the less bold, this is a great option to add interest in a more quite way. Perfect for a soothing bedroom.

rasian_birds_grey_and_white_preview

 

Sophisticated & Versatile

A wallpaper that is not too feminine and will add sophistication to any room. Truly suitable for any room in the house.

rrrraged_ikat_ed_preview

 

Abstract & Modern

The non-pattern pattern that shows just how hip and edgy you really are.  Put in on an accent wall in your living room to really make a statement.

Whimsical & Colorful

The perfect backdrop for a gender neutral nursery that doesn’t scream baby but does evoke child’s play and happiness.

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.

Before & After: Hell’s Kitchen, NY

Desk, Dining Room, Interior design, Living Room, New York, paint

I’m feeling a little nostalgic today.  I’m an LA native and it’s been great being back home, but I definitely miss New York.  So… for my first before and after, I’m showcasing my Hell’s Kitchen apartment

BEFORE:

White walls and parquet floors… yikes!

Blinds hiding a pretty good view

DURING:

I was having a blast… my husband, not so much

AFTER:

We went with a light grey on the walls with a fabulous plum accent wall.  The shelves (ikea) came with a back board, but I choose not to attach them in order to let the plum show through.

When living in a 670 sq. ft. 1 bedroom in New York, rooms have to do triple duty.  I put a sideboard behind the couch to separate the living and dining room and added a small desk too… oh, and did I mention the view?  Love!

Ciao for Now,

♥♥ Vicky

What I’m currently purchasing, coveting, and dreaming about

Significant Jewels

I’m obsessed with this customizable necklace.  In keeping with my shopping addition, I already bought it for myself as an early Mothers’ Day gift.  I got it personalized with Keira’s birthdate… ahhh ♥♥♥♥♥

I love the idea of creating custom wallpaper using tiny ♥ decals in a random pattern… genius!

Dream Vacation HoMe

To this day, my favorite vacation every year is visiting my family’s cottage on a small lake in Michigan for my family reunion.  It was originally built by my great-grandfather and great, great-uncle… If I won a million dollars, I would fix it up to look like this.

Summer Lovin’

I don’t know about the rest of the world, but here in Los Angeles, the 90+ degree temps have me dreaming about summer beach cruiser days.  How cute is this bike basket? I’m pretty sure I need it.
