I’m adding another obsession to the list… velvet furniture.  I can’t get enough of it.  Whether the color is vibrant or muted, these pieces are just so luxe and buttery.

Feast your eyes on 20 of my favorite picks…

The Luxe Tuft

If you’re looking to add a little luxe to your space, look no further than tufted furniture.  Tufting details lend a sense of sophistication to a space without going over the top.  I prefer tufted furniture in a neutral or basic color like cream or gray.  No need to over-do it, you often only need one piece and you’ve got instant glam.

Here are a few idea starters for adding tufted furniture to a room in your home.

Chair – Regina Andrew; Zinc Door | Headboard – Zentique; Layla Grayce | Bench –  Zentique; Layla Grayce | Dining Chair – Regina Andrew; Zinc Door | Ottoman; West Elm | Sofa – Armen Living; Wayfair

Ciao for Now,

♥♥ Vicky

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 :))

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

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.

Design My Poolhouse

One of my go-to websites when I’m creating a design board is olioboard.com.  From time-to-time olioboard hosts design challenges where contestants submit virtual design concepts.  Currently they’re running a poolhouse design challenge.  It sounded like fun, so I decided to submit an entry.

Aesthetically, I wanted the room to be fun and whimsical with lots of vibrant colors.  I chose blues and greens to bring the colors of nature and the pool inside. Functionally, there were a couple of things to consider.  I wanted to ensure there was a sitting area meant for relaxing and getting a break from the sun; and I wanted to have an area where people could sit down and enjoy lunch or a snack.

So… here’s the final product…

What do you think?  If you like it, I’d love for you visit the site and vote for my space.

Thanks for all of the support!

Before & After: Living Room

This past weekend was quite productive, most notably I finished re-designing our living room which has been a work in progress.  We were having our first BBQ of the season, so it was good motivation to finish my first project.

BEFORE: Bland room with white walls and vertical blinds… yikes!

You may recall from my Modern Elegance post, I had a general style and color palette in mind (and I knew I wanted a sunburst mirror :)).  My goal was to transform the room playing off of the original charm but adding vibrance, elegance and a little rustic, ethnic charm…

AFTER:

So… how did I do? I’m sure I’ll keep making minor changes over time, but I’m pretty happy with the outcome.  Now… on to the next room!
