IN THE DETAILS...

It's been a while since I did a little 'in the details' post - I must add these to the regular rotation a bit more. Some of my favorite details right now...

I'm seriously considering this for my new bedroom - love the look of layering fabrics on the bed for that worldly 'collective' vibe. Plus it's such an easy switch-out!

This one seems so simple, but is quite refreshing to me. I love the way the graphic blue trim stands out and breaks up the long hallway adding a little interest to a simple area of the home.

I'm always amazed at what a little paint can do! While this certainly isn't the first time I've seen the idea of painted trim in a room, I love the height at which it's at - it brings the eye down and makes the living area extra cozy while still allowing the room to be bright!

This little detail might be the cutest! I'm not sure if it makes sense with a door that is actually in use or not, but I love the thought of hanging little pieces of art where you'd least expect it!

Do you have a favorite? Will you be stealing any of these ideas for your own?

IN THE DETAILS: MUSIC + BRICK + MIRRORS

There's nothing like some unexpected surprise details in a home to make things feel just a little more special... but this first space is over the top in fabulousness...

On top of the gorgeous overall contrast of salvage + modern, the piano tucked under the stairs is what did me in the most. Can you imagine music magically drifting through the space?

One of my other favorite surprises is when ceilings are given a little extra attention - in this case beautifully rounded exposed brick with a glamorous chandelier makes for a stunning rustic meets traditional look.

And, finally, a perfect example of practical meets pretty with this collection of antique gilded mirrrors as an accent to the full wall mirror. A fun way to create a little playful moment in an otherwise simple space.

IN THE DETAILS: GRAPHIC GOODNESS

Graphic details don't always have to be bold. In fact, sometimes it's the more subtle additions that make a fabulous impact...

I think it's genius how well this lamp base and round mirror mimic the shapes in the wallpaper - it gives a visual continuity to this much-loved vignette.

A traditional ceiling just wouldn't have the same impact as these cut mirrors reflecting the pattern in the floor, and adding their own graphic detail at the same time.

The simplicity of this dining set is given a serious dose of personality just by adding mismatched fabrics to the chairs. A graphic touch that will not go unnoticed by lucky guests!
