Portofino Mirror

Have you seen this mirror? I just love it.  It's the Portofino Mirror by Ballard Designs.  I've got to get it for my living room! It doesn't really match what I have in there currently, but I would love to update that room anyway- it certainly needs it!  This mirror would make it so worth it!  Here's a closer look at it:

This mirror could look great will all sorts of paint colors.  But I'm liking a similar color to the first photo.  I love ivory couches and a pale blue wall would look pretty with the ivory/neutral tones.  In fact, I think it would look nice with the nursery paint color (Blue Grass by Benjamin Moore) that I just featured a few days ago.  Remember this room?

"Blue Grass" Baby Boy Nursery

When I saw this contemporary style nursery, I knew I had to share it with you.  I love the soft and soothing feel to it.  It's a wonderful room for a new baby boy.  

With all the pictures lined up beautifully on the wall above the dresser, it's no wonder this room was created by photographer Kerianne Brown for her little boy.  The mobile is so cute, and I bet you could create a diy version similar to it.

The paint color is so soft and looks amazing in the nursery- what a great color to set the feel of the room.  It's called Blue Grass by Benjamin Moore.

Interior Design: A Stunning Entrance

Look at this amazing entryway!  Are you just staring at it, taking it all in?  I mean, it looks like an amazing Bali resort where you can relax and all of your cares will just melt away. I love the water by the entrance, they huge chandelier and the straight through the house view that shows the landscape of L.A.

Yes, this is a HOME, not a resort.  It's the entrance to Jennifer Aniston's home, which has been featured on Architectural Digest.  AD has an amazing selection of beautiful homes, including those of celebrities.  To see more pictures of Jen's beautiful house, click here.

Have a wonderful and relaxing weekend!

Curtains Behind Your Bed

I love the way the curtains are behind the beds in these designs.  They remind me of this mansion I went to in West Palm Beach.  Several of their immaculate rooms had this setup in the bedrooms.  That was the first time I had seen it done.

 I want curtains behind my bed now.  I didn't even think of them being put into your average house, but I think they look great.  These bedrooms were featured on House of Turquoise.

Wall of Frames

This wall is great for those of us who want to display multiple pictures but don't care too much for the collage frames.  I love how the dark paint really sets off the picture frames.   It makes the whole look seem more like an art display.  I would love to do this to a shorter wall that I have in my house.  Click here to go to The House Undone to see more details.

No Paint Diamonds

This room is so pretty.  It fits my style perfectly.  Neutrals, a decorative wall, a chandelier, add a mirror, a decorative chair and even a touch of fur!

I was really surprised when I found out the diamonds on the wall are not painted on.  Seriously?  What a great idea, you can take it down if you get tired of it.

The Perfect Bunk Beds

I'm not crazy about bunk beds, but I know some kids love them.  My little guy might ask for them someday.  I found these bunk beds on a site called Houzz.com.  They are by Southern Studio Interior Design. 

I don't know about having a need for 4 beds instead of 2, but I really loved how the light was built in each of the beds as well as drawers on the bottom for extra storage.  These bunk beds are pretty much perfect if I need to get some in the future.

Picture Frames + Ribbons

I hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day weekend with their family and friends!

For today's post, I saw this cute nursery on the Pottery Barn Kids website.   I thought it was really cute how the picture frames are hung by silky ribbons.  It's a nice way to dress up your plain picture frames if you need a change.  I have done this before in the past, and was considering hanging a few like this in my office (it's one of the few places where I can have girly stuff).

The bid decal is cute too, as you can have it personalized with your little one's name.  Click here to see the Georgia Nursery details.
