I can't begin to describe how blessed I feel to have been able to intern with Cristin, from Simplified Bee, this summer. We've had the chance to do some fun things {and some that are still coming up!} Among our adventures was one of the best days of my summer so far. Recently, Cristin has been working with interior designer, Leslie Lundgren, on several projects. A few weeks ago Leslie invited Cristin to help her style her one of her client's homes for some photos of the finished space. Let me tell you- these ladies together are the dream team! I was lucky enough to come along and take the pictures of the STUNNING space.
I immediately fell in love with the color, pattern, and Leslie's ability to blend traditional, Chinoiserie and ultimately create a relaxed California feeling.
Take a look:
As soon as I saw these baby Uggs I knew they needed to be in the shoot (:
This was a fun little corner to style, and with three opinions on what should go where, we sure had a ball! It was so beneficial to have three sets of eyes, and as the morning went on, we became more in touch with each other's styles that we started picking up on things before the other would even say it!
We started with the dresser, the green lamp that's now on the entry table, and another smaller botanical print framed above the dresser. After many different looks, we ended up finding this amazing artwork in the garage! Now, center stage, this turquoise gem is the piece that pulls the whole space together.
The roses from Leslie's garden cannot go unnoticed. How perfect is that color?!
The three of us had such a wonderful time styling the shoot, but even more importantly, Leslie's client is totally in love with her living room. And so am I (:
Don't you think it turned out great? What's your favorite element in the space?
Hope this Monday eye candy is enough to wake you up! Check out more of Leslie's portfolio over here.

This charming Spanish style home sits in an adorable neighborhood and features incredible architectural elements, such as this fireplace and the wood beams on the ceiling.

Let's talk about the rug...LOVE IT. Such a great way to bring a whimsical, yet neutral, textured piece to the room.
