Oh hellllllllllo, weekend old friend. Heading to the kitchen to whip up a French 75, you? And if you don’t know what that is, we can’t be friends. Sorry. 😎✌🏻🥂Throw back to our Cali kitchen #weekendvibes #cocktailhour . . . #whitekitchen #kitchenrug #vintagerugs #californiainteriordesign #abmspaces #kitchenisland #kitchensofinstagram #interiorinspirations #modernbohemian #smmakelifebeautiful #theeverygirlathome #marincounty #midcenturyhome #ourlayeredhome #sodomino #inmydomaine #hyggehome #interior_and_living #mycovetedhome #currenthomeview #whitekitchencabinets #interiors2you
That morning light.....✨ Got to “hang out” with design legend @abigailahern today at a lovely little lunch to promote her new line of window treatments at @hillarysblinds - loved listening to her talk through her signature style and her views on creating interior spaces. And while I haven’t gone to the dark side paint-wise, I actually share a lot of her opinions: creating tension and contrast with materials, playing with scale, embracing and even cultivating imperfection, and creating your own design rules (not following others). I was inspired to get a bit bolder with my placements - I usually have ideas to do unexpected and maybe even slightly strange things in spaces but tend to hold back.... I think it might be time to change that. Thanks Abigail for the permission and the inspiration 😉
Is it normal to be jealous of a kids bedroom? Yes, THIS is the homework station in a very cool teen boy’s bedroom completed just a couple months ago in California. I actually loved getting getting out of my design comfort zone and going ‘rustic industrial’ per my client’s request. How do you describe you design style? I’ve recently started using ‘modern eclectic’ kind of like an eclectic mix of styles (vintage, traditional, mid century, organic, global...) pulled together in a modern way. Does that make any sense or do I just sound like a design commitmentphobe? 🤷🏻‍♀️ . . . #bedroomdesign #tweenroom #interior_and_living #smmakelifebeautiful #ambularinteriorsaintgotnothingonme #seekinspirecreate #neutralhome #decorationideas #homeofficedecor #windowtreatments #boysroomdecor #interiorinspirations #californiainteriordesign #ukinteriordesigners #abmspaces #sodomino #interiordecorating #interiorstyles #interiordesigntrends #romanshades #whitewalls #hyggehome
Searching for inspiration for a new project and stumbled upon this design by @heidicaillierdesign - seriously blew my mind. So much warmth and texture and simplicity. The materials are really the star of the show here. Love it. Amazing work, Heidi 🙌🏻
Coffe (table) talk: I love a layered coffee table. Gimme stacks of books, trays of candles (especially these stunning black ones from @hudsongracesf - are are amber inside when you burn them 🖤), earthy ceramics and, of course, a little green. Are you a styled coffee table or clean coffee table type of person? Don’t worry, we can still be friends if you say clean 😏
Love this little moment from @ccandeminteriors - I mean, we all know I love a stripe - but the mix of prints and materials is gorgeous, the warmth of the vintage hutch and the little touch of brass. Yes, please 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. . . . #interiorinspiration #moderncountry #ihavethisthingwithtextiles #vintagefurniture #newtraditional #interiordesigner #interiordesign #vignette #interiorsinspiration #seekinspirecreate #designcrush #neutralhome #decorationideas #livingroominspo #ispyraddesign #smmakelifebeautiful #vintagedecor #decorinspo #instadecor

FIN! A very quick, very small project helping a fellow yank settle into their new home in Harrogate. This beautiful flat is a rental and we weren’t allowed to change anything (paint, window treatments, lighting all stayed the same) so just furnishing and a splash of styling. I *may* have played around with my photoshop app for the sake of the grid... anything missing from these photos that you spotted in my stories? 😂 Also, yes - I move props around when it’s a really quick iPhone photo SO SUE ME. . . . #interiordecorating #vintagerugs #homeinterioruk #smmakelifebeautiful #livingroomdecor #diningtable #neutralhome #sorealhomes #livingroomdetails #harrogatelife #decordailydose #designupnorth #secretstylingclub #homesohard #interiordecorator #countrylivingmagazine
Proof that subway tile doesn’t have to be boring 👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼2x8 in a warm grey laid in a parquet pattern 👌🏼 Subway tiles tend to be very accessible price-wise but there’s no rule that you have to set them in a typical brick pattern OR go with white. Think outside the box (or rectangle) 😉 Design by #katiemonkhouseinteriors photo by @margaretaustin_photo . . #bathroomdesign #bathroomremodel #tiledesign #bathroomtile #ihavethisthingwithtile #subwaytile #bathroomrenovation #bathroominspiration #interiordesigner #designinspo #interiordesigntips #londoninteriordesigner #ukinteriordesigners #smmakelifebeautiful #interiorinspirations
