Green with Red Accents

Amanda Peet’s bedroom from domino.

A few months ago my hard drive crashed and I lost all my favorite inspiration photos. I keep having visions of forgotten rooms. I search for hours—cruising blogs, flickr groups and google image—I am usually at a loss and feel totally frustrated.

One of my favorite interiors of all time is Amanda Peet’s bedroom from domino. The greens in the Cole & Son wallpaper are perfect. A dark headboard mixes effortlessly with whitewashed antiques. The red chair in the corner seals the deal.

The lovely Anne from The City Sage sent over these gorgeous interior shots showcasing one of my favorite color combos: green with red and pink accents. It seems every time I across a green room that I really love it always has a little pop of red or pink. Sometimes the pop comes on curtains, chairs, or even just a pillow. Some great interior inspiration from Anne below.

Brainstorming Den

Posted on | January 26, 2010 | 33 Comments

I’m still contemplating paint colors for the den. Maybe if I gather together my inspiration for the room the color choice would become more clear. Above a rolled armed sofa from george smith (Too pricey, but something similar), a tufted arm chair from Lee Industries, and fabric from Robert Kime (also super $$) for curtains or upholstery.

I want the room to be soothing with a little library set up in the small room. The den is on our second floor. Three rooms behind the den which we hopefully become guest and kids’ rooms. I want it be light and airy but I need to be realistic on what is kid-friendly and not. More inspiration below. Feel free to share you ideas in the comments section.

We are having the floor refinished but I love to find a worn antique rug with some salmon pink accents.

Pretty green/blue walls paired with a creamy trim from Martha Stewart.

The mantel is off center from the room. I think a convex mirror over the mantel would pull the space together.

I would love a tufted ottoman as a coffee table. The soft lines would be perfect.

I love these handmade botanical presses for over the sofa.

I would really like to incorporate a handsome wood dresser into the space.

Anta: Pillows & Throws

Posted on | January 25, 2010 | 13 Comments

If you followed this blog at all you know I am pretty obsessed with plaid and wool blankets. One of lovely readers sent me this link to Anta a woolen mill based in Scotland. Pillows, throws, rugs and fabric are available by the metre. Everything is beautiful and heavenly.

I would love to take a trip to the UK. I was discovering links to woolen mill trails this morning that were pretty seducing. Maybe I can get the BF to go if a scotch trail runs immediately along side? I hear Glenmorangie’s distillery is just down the road from Anta. hmm…I’m getting ideas. Check out Anta’s website for more inspiration: anta.co.uk.
