Sometimes a punch of color is all you need to kick start your Monday morning. Or some color + a cup of coffee (or tea, in my case...) I think this Atlanta Home Tour, first seen on House Beautiful, does the trick. Now, with that said, this home tour isn't necessarily my personal style, but I do adore certain aspects of it.
1. Orange pillows and curtains
2. Exaggerated drum shades over the dining room table
3. Tiered ceilings in the master bedroom
4. Symmetry in the guest bedroom
5. Texture in the light fixtures and in that amazing abstract art.
6. Curtains hung high and dramatic!
It's always fun to look at homes you wouldn't live in yourself, but learn to appreciate all design and in turn, pick out elements you do love from other styles. What's your favorite element in this home?
In other news, we are in the process of updating a few things in our kitchen/family room, and yesterday we purchased a new dining table and chairs. We also got this beauty from Pottery Barn. It's on sale for $99!! I can't wait for it to come in the mail.
Enjoy your Monday:)
Love,
PS. I'm really excited about my post for Thursday on dorm rooms and all the fun things that come along with it! Email me if you'd like specific things addressed...I've got some great bloggers who have lots of dorm/small space living experience:)
That kitchen is so gorgeous. The lighting adds the perfect touch of warmth to the space. And I love your new chandy!
ReplyDeleteThat home is gorgeous! LOVE that painting over the mantle... just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing :-)
Ooh I love how clean and modern that house is, while still seeming homey. Also, that light fixture is a steal! xo
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you scored that chandy for $99! What a great find!
ReplyDeleteLove that light fixture! We have been hunting for the perfect light fixtures for our new home and haven't found them yet. Westelm.com so far is leading the pack in possibilities.

Loving these pictures!!! Rooms with neutrals and one color always look so great! And I am WAY excited to read your dorm room post!!!
ReplyDeleteI love all the neutrals mixed with bright pops of color. And, for some reason, the covers (slip covers?) on the night tables in the guest room really stand out to me. I like how they look!
ReplyDeleteWow what a beautiful home! I love the pop of orange! Brightens up the day :)
ReplyDeleteAnd your new purchase is amazing! love that light!

ReplyDeleteNice score on that chandelier, M! And I too am loving these subtle but awesome pops of orange. Great post, love xoxo
ReplyDeleteOhhh, love the chandelier!! I don't really love orange, but I love what you said about appreciating the beauty in everything, even if it's not what you would personally choose. So perfectly said! Love you!!
