A Look Inside: Abby Larson

Everyday I pick up inspiration from everything and anything I can get my hands on. Like most people, I'm a very visual person and really like to see things put together different ways to get an idea as to something's potential. This partially is why I started my "Look for Less" posts. You never thought about doing that with an ikea bench... did you? Visual items don't have to be staring right at you with stores and price tags though - It's definitely nice, but Pinterest images do a good job also! Today's design inspiration isn't from Pinterest, however it is from one of my favorite websites & online design references. If you have never heard of or browsed through Domino before, I highly suggest you do - It will change your life!

One of this Spring's features on Domino is the home tour of Abby Larson.  You might know her from another one of my go to sites, Style Me Pretty. Abby is the founder of Style Me Pretty and if you're like me and are constantly swooning over the beautiful content on these two sites, why wouldn't you want to see what the inside of her home looks like?

Now, if you love neutrals and tend to chose them over anything else - But you also love color, this is some inspiration for you! Here's a look inside Abby Larson's Home:

A Look Inside: Jenna Lyons

Everyone has a curiosity bone inside of them. For me, I'm always wondering what celebrities homes look like. I love getting my monthly Architectural Digest Magazine so I can see inside different stars houses and see their style and taste.

Domino has recently featured the home of someone who's name may not ring a bell but the company she works for says it all. J.Crew Wouldn't you be just as curious to see the home style of J.Crew's Creative Director? 

Full Disclosure: I don't normally like to share celebrities homes and home tours on my blog.  I love to look at them, but why show something that is outrageously expensive and impossible for the everyday person to achieve in their own home?

The spirit of my blog is to show, assist and inspire my readers that anyone [with any budget] can make their home beautiful. In this case however, Jenna's home is so simple, classy and beautiful that while some of the items inside might have a pricey tag, the same look can still be achieved by anyone looking for this vintage glam look.

Here is a peek inside Jenna Lyon's home:

Obsessed is an understatement.  I love the herringbone wood floor in the tub room. For anyone looking for a dramatic, yet classic look like this - Don't be afraid to go bold and dark on the walls.  Everything else can brighten up the room on it's own!

Too Scared to paint everything? Try a dark charcoal accent wall in your bedroom and adjust to it from there. What inspiration would you take from Jenna's home to bring into yours?

Celebrity Style: Nicole Richie

In today's world, everyone loves reality TV.  It's become an american pre-requisite and I'm sure everyone in their 20's has seen the show "The Simple Life" with Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie. My friend Emily even owns the first season on DVD.. [it's on my "must watch again" list]

Today I'm bringing you Wish List Wednesday.... [with a twist] Ever wonder what you're favorite celebrities design favorites are? What their stylish house may look like? Or even what their Wish List Wednesday would consist of? Well, Joss & Main gave me a helping hand with this one. Nicole Richie has partnered with my favorite flash sale website to curate her own collection of Furniture and Home Decor.

I became very interested when I got the email last night about her collection and after I took a quick glance at it I knew that I had to feature it on the blog today. The first thing I noticed [besides all of her amazing taste in color and style] were all the options of high back dining chairs. Remember my shopping trip from this past weekend? I forgot to mention that I fell in love with a pair beautiful high back, tufted chairs that were in the dressing room at Nordstrom.. Which is probably why I couldn't help myself when I picked these out:

I must say, Nicole Richie has great taste. When I grow up and own my own house someday [if that day ever comes..] I will have a dining room that is to die for with high back dining chairs. For now I love love love #2. - but we all know that could change tomorrow.

Now, how could I leave you all hanging and just write about these amazing dining chairs when the entire collection is full of must haves? Long story short, I can't.  Here are just a few of the accents and accessories that I can't help but love.

Disclaimer: With the holiday season full speed ahead,  expect the large majority of my future posts to be filled with metallic decor. [I can't help it...]
