Interiors i love // Modern Bohemian Bay Area Home

This home, designed by Owens + Davis, is one of my favorite spaces that I've comes across in a long time. Striking a wonderful balance of modern, eclectic, and bohemian, this home has a very California cool feel to it, and is chock-full of inspiration:

One of my favorite elements of the home is it mixes lots of natural textures + organic pieces with modern fixtures + furnishings, keeping the spaces clean and airy, yet interesting. The dining space above is a great example of that, with the textural woven chairs and rattan light pendant providing those natural elements.

 

The entryway above is the perfect introduction to the home - the gorgeous rug, juju hat and geometric chandelier make such a statement!

 

The textile mix throughout the house is so on point, and this little reading nook space is no exception. I also adore how those modern wall sconces contrast with the cozy layers of pillows.

 

The kitchen is all white, modern and marble finishes, but I love the color + texture brought in with the rug and wooden items.

 

And finally, the living room, with a gorgeous mix of textiles + artwork... Pretty amazing home, am I right? If you haven't already, be sure to check out the Owens + Davis site for some serious eye candy + inspiration!

Interiors i love // Sconces in Bedrooms

Hi guys! Lately I've really been loving bedrooms with wall sconces rather than the traditional table lamp. Sconces provide great task lighting for reading in bed, and are especially perfect for smaller rooms, where there's not quite enough space for large nightstands + table lamps. Here are some of my favorite bedrooms with sconces:

Interiors i love // A Collected California Bungalow

Don't you love when you come across a space, and can immediately tell a certain designer was responsible? There are a handful of designers that I can think of where this is the case, but perhaps one of the most obvious for me is Emily Henderson. Every single room designed by her has a distinct "Emily" look to it, despite the fact that she works with all types of clients, in all types of houses, with all types of styles. I definitely admire that about her - that she has such a clear point of view and "signature look".

Anyway, when I came across this image, I immediately thought "that looks like an Emily Henderson room"... and what do you know? It was! After checking out the whole feature on Country Living, I had to share because the whole house is just gorgeous:

This guest bedroom above is the space that immediately tipped me on the designer - the blue velvet headboard, mixed with the brass lamps, bronze sconces, and the colorful tassle bedding just screamed Emily to me :)

 

The living room is just so cozy and happy. The blue velvet chesterfield sofas look soo comfy, and the rugs and pillow mix give me major textile envy ;)

 

I love that Emily highlighted the orginal windows by painting the frames a dark charcoal gray throughout the house... it's a nice contrast that showcases the windows beautifully.

 

I love that blue is carried throughout the whole house, including into the kitchen, with these blue-gray cabinets and the rug. And how about that black and white arabesque-style tile for the backsplash, and those awesome concrete floor tiles? Swoon. So perfect for the Spanish architectural roots of the home.

 

In this dining space, the blue sideboard is a great statement piece, and I love how the striped rug modernizes some of the older elements, too. I do kind of find the seating mix to be a little distracting, though - Obviously, Emily pulls the eclectic look off well, but I sort of wish those Windsor chairs surrounded the whole table.

 

This is such a great little reading nook, with the comfy leather club chair and cozy dark blue walls.

 

And finally this patio space, which is such a perfect outdoor oasis. It's so very Southern Californian, and so cozy and inviting, yes?

All in all, another gem of a house by Emily - I just love how it feels simultaneously light + airy, yet really collected + layered at the same time, without being too busy.
