Butcher block and wood counter tops are a beautiful and versatile addition to any kitchen space. We love the looks of a small section of butcher block in a kitchen for the at-home chef or an entire kitchen with beautiful wood countertops.
Natural wood tones work beautifully with colorful painted cabinetry. The navy cabinets shown in this kitchen, paired with brass pulls and fixtures, work perfectly with the waterfall edge butcher block.

Children’s rooms are so much fun to design. We have been gathering some inspiration for a new project full of whimsy and modern elements. It is a challenge to balance the quircky and bold designs that little ones desire, while trying to make choices that won’t go out of style too quickly.
This shared girls’ room is sweet and mature. We love the touch of bohemian textiles with contemporary artwork on the walls. Keeping a shared room light and bright helps the space feel open.

A casual, fun and edgy way to display art is by leaning it rather than hanging it. This is a different way to style with artwork and mirrors that gives a relaxed lofty vibe. These examples show different ways to display art by leaning it in various ways and in different spaces.
This example displays two tall pieces of art set on top of a shelf-like bench. This arrangement adds interest to the corner of the room as well as adding height. We love that they mixed some sculpture pieces in with the arrangement as well.

Another interesting way of leaning art in a room is with a thin shelf that runs all the way around the room. This example doesn’t require any damage to the beautiful wall moldings and allows you to switch the art out easily with your changing tastes.

If a piece of art is large enough it may even work to have it leaning from the ground. The proper space and low furniture are necessary for viewing the art at eye level. We love the punch this quirky photograph adds.

Velvet has been used by interior designers to add an element of texture and richness for many years.

Taking the plunge, and selecting a bold paint color for your walls can be very intimidating. However, when the right shade is chosen it can completely transform a room. We have been crushing on some moody fall paint colors as our current inspiration.
