Natural Dining

This is a great contrast in styles. How much do you love the light fixture?

Modern and filled with light

When this beauty popped up in Veranda last month I was in love... very in love! The windows did me in and then there was the garden and the flooring.. Just beautiful. Oh and I need a pond too! What do you think would you move in?

Grey in the bedroom..

I am in love with the butterfly sculpture in this room.. But what this room really reminds me of is this light that I really want but cannot figure out why or where I would put it..

Erin Martin Design Naturally

I am so excited to see her site with some of her portfolio online. I have been to her site several times and just this morning I was reminded by Head over Heels about how great her work is. I have been to her shop in St. Helena also very fun. The thing I love about Erin Martin is that she is into something different, she doesn't follow the trends, she designs the most interesting spaces with a natural feel and with so much texture. She is truly an amazing designer creative and masterful of her craft!

Serenity Now!

When I was a teenager, my bedroom was how I escaped from doing chores. Now, I want my bedroom to just be how I escape, period. Living in the city, one is constantly bombarded with people and stimulus, so it's great to be able to come home after a long day and just retreat for awhile.
These are some bedrooms I wouldn't mind coming home to. Let me know which bedroom you'd prefer!


A. Modern romance


B. Fresh and colorful


C. Transitional, soft palette


D. A little bit of everything


E. Black and White Bliss


F. Cottage Charm


G. Modern white


H. Art-focused with a grand bed


I. Modern feminine


J. Natural touches and wood tones


K. Bold and happy colors

I adore white rooms with an aged feel; also wood and other natural elements. Have to say I'd need a cozier chair though!
