House Tour: The golden age of Hollywood, a glamor girl's dream...

Home feeling a little lackluster? This space by Sarah Gilbane should inspire some ideas for adding a little glam back in your home...

The glossy stripes on the wall add glitz, while the grasscloth on the ceiling warm the space up a bit...

The pendants are feminine, but not too girly

Some garden stools add a bit of Chinoiserie to the more restrained library space.

The bedroom's color palette is what really makes the room traditional Hollywood glam.  Pink, black, and white...what's more starlett than that?

Is this space too feminine and glamorous for you, or would you be right at home here?via Tradhome Mag

Beautiful rooms with Parisian glamour

Thought I'd share some of this beauty with you this morning - all from Homes and Gardens





maybe not so Parisian, but pretty!




again - not so Parisian - but a pretty reading nook

The crisp elegant home of Williams Sonoma Home designer Monelle Totah

I was instantly attracted to the clean palette and crisp lines of the San Francisco Apartment. Black and white is so classic, and leaves room for fun accents in whatever color your heart desires.

What do you think?

I adore this bedroom - it somehow manages to look very luxurious, but it's not at all stuffy and not too cliche


Liking the wallpaper above the shower


oh..thin white striped rugs are my weakness

The peaceful Lexington, KY home of fashion designers Badgley Mischka

You may know Badgley Mischka for their serious upscale women's clothes and wedding gowns, so I was surprised when I saw Moon Stone Farm, their retreat in Lexington, KY.
It's so peaceful and sparse - I'd have trouble leaving!

A classy and elegant house

I fell in love with the home of Windsor Smith, which is featured on the September issue of House Beautiful. Her kitchen also graces the cover. As you can see, she's got a sophisticated taste without being flashy, and I love her eye for color!

Gorgeous European Interiors

Lots of prettiness for you this morning! I've collected some images that I feel are particularly sensual. I feel like they focus a lot more on patina and texture in France - thoughts?


I love the juxtaposition of this rusic table with the elegant pink walls and gold accents





Love the composition on the mantle


I really love the chest of drawers against the wall - what a great piece for organizing

check out the wall! It looks like a detail of a Monet!

Creating a "Universe of One's Own"

I was lucky enough to stumble across the interior design of Ludwig. These rooms can't help but evoke passion and a little bit of mystery. Ludwig designs for period properties but does so in a way that could be lived in now. I really don't need to say much - you'll see for yourself. Enjoy :)
