Armonia Decors + Toujours Magazine

It's old news around here that I'm a big fan of Emily Ruddo of Armonia Decors, but did you know she is also the design editor for Toujours Magazine? Along with co-founder and photographer Meghan Beierle-O'Brien, Emily spent the weekend sprucing up her fabulous LA apartment (we've seen and loved here!) for the Toujour Magazine Holiday Decorating Guide. I absolutely adore her coastal Christmas mantle! Emily actually decorated it with two different styles, so head over to Toujours Magazine to see ... View Post

Tobi Fairley + Beverly Wells

What's better than a home decorated by Tobi Fairley?? How about a home decorated for the holidays by Tobi and her mother Beverly Wells! I positively adore the turquoise and green palette that was inspired by the Wells' furnishings and gorgeous aqua-painted kitchen cabinetry, as well as the green-and-cream fabric from Tobi's new fabric line. They actually used it to make the fab striped runners on the dining table...so cute! You can see more images taken by Rett Peek and read all about their ... View Post

Ana Antunes

I always love seeing a space that makes my feminine side swoon with excitement! So was the case when I saw the fabulous living room belonging to my favorite Portuguese designer Ana Antunes. Although her entire home and all of her projects are incredible (I'll be sharing more soon!), I just love the soft pastels, bold patterns and great vignettes in this space. Filled with great light and such pretty color, I really get a peaceful sense from looking at the images. Just imagine living there! Did ... View Post

I am loving up this cozy bedroom designed by Cristi Holcombe of Charm Home based out of Atlanta. The natural materials, vintage elements and pretty colors are what do it for me here.

Life in Grace

I'm sure many of you have spent a fair amount of time drooling over this adorable room! As you may know, Edie of of the blog Life in Grace lost her entire home and furnishings in a house fire last December. Her family has since rebuilt, and their new home is absolutely incredible...so full of joy and life! Edie's daughters' room above that she designed with Darlene of Fieldstone Hill Design is my favorite I think, the colors and fabrics are so up my alley. I just love those Painted Vintage Jane ...
