I found this house while browsing freshome today. I love the clean design and easy furniture pieces. Plus they seem to have a thing for alternating the colors of the chairs. Interesting. And the backyard is FANTASTIC!

I found this incredible Manhattan apartment today thanks to Elle Decor. It was recently completely redone by acclaimed interior designer, Steven Gambrel. To say that this home is beautiful is an understatement. There isn't one room that wasn't done to perfection. Enjoy! : )

Lately, in several different magazines, I have noticed the use of black paint as the main wall color and then today I came across a post on Apartment Therapy mentioning the use of black walls in small spaces. What do you think? Does anyone have black walls (or a wall) in their home? Chalkboard painted walls don't count. ; ) 

A Breakfast at Tiffany's inspired penthouse suite that is to die for! It has beautiful structural lines the extenuate the walls and glamorous elements that top it off. Every room has details that all Audrey Hepburn fans would adore. I would love to live in this hotel room, it would be my home away from home. Maybe one of this days I'll save my earnings to muster up a measly $8,500 a night!

Dining tables are often the central meeting place of a home. You eat there, hang out there, work there and if you have kids, they play on and under the dining table. I went looking for my 5 favorite dining tables and this is what I found.

I came across this dining room while visiting the House Beautiful website. I think this dining area is amazing! I love the round table, the chairs are gorgeous and the pink accent wall looks beautiful.

We have two amazing dining rooms that express great style, but which one tops the cake? There's So Bazaar that runs along the lines of eclectic chic. It uses stunning bright colors to create a tropical/ethnic look that makes you feel like you took a trip to a foreign country. Who wouldn't love something as inspiring as So Bazaar! On the flip side, we have jump back a few decades to revisit yesteryear. Pop Life will fill your space with modern ideals and help create a unique atmosphere that is contemporary, but feels like home. Which is your feasting abode?
