Reese Witherspoon's California Beauty!!

2:22 AM

I'd like to thank Elle Decor for sharing the lovely Ojai home of Reese Witherspoon with us. I love the mix of old and new and the subtle, lived in style of her house. Reese and her friend, designer Kristen Buckingham, worked together to create the beautiful interior of this Wallace Neff designed home. I love all the arches and the woodwork is gorgeous. And, I love this quote from Reese when referring to the history of the home, "When you buy a beautiful piece of art, you don’t really own it. You're just the caretaker."

Love the alcove bed and that vintage chair is fantastic!

All the different seating options around the table give the space a very interesting look.

Oh so cozy!

Love the exposed beams and hearty wood floor.

So fabulous

All About the Vanities!!

4:15 AM

I always loved watching my grandmother put her make-up and jewelry on at her vanity. I have very vivid memories of sitting on her little bench (once she was finished) and going through all her lipsticks and earrings, rings and necklaces.... what fun! Now that I'm a grown-up (haha) I would love to have my own vanity that my daughter could play at when I'm finished decorating my face. Here's some vanity inspiration (mirrored vanities are very popular) -

Love the mirrored vanity!

Monte-Silo House!!

2:22 AM

I have always thought that living in a round house would be neat! Today I saw this little blurb about round houses on MSN. The Monte-Silo home they listed really caught my eye and I wanted to share it. It has a very unique exterior (the house is made from 2 linked corrugated metal grain silos), a beautifully interesting interior and it's located close to the Provo River in Utah (beautiful views!).

I love this piece. The NL Design Table is made from reclaimed pine (from a Houston Heights home) and reclaimed steel (from a construction site dumpster).

This Substantial Slab Bench is beautiful! The hand burnished flame finish and polished surface is so different and gorgeous.

Alcove Beds!!

2:22 AM

There is something very cozy looking about alcove beds. They are like your own little protected, comfy cave. Great for kids sleeping spaces too. And there are so many inspiring pictures for creating your own alcove bed space!
