So what have I been envisioning for our new house? Our new house style is a Colonial, with a lot of pretty modern finishes. For example, our kitchen hardware is all brass, which I LOVE. I’m realizing that recently I’ve been gravitating towards a look with blonde wood, black steel, creamy neutrals, and pops of color and luxe textures. I’ve been referring to it with Ian as “Parisian Apartment Chic”. I love traditional aspects with a more modern edge or eclectic tone to it. The thing that’s been most fun has been to figure out how to re-envision some of the pieces we already have to fit this new home aesthetic! It’s going to be cool to see pieces of furniture repurposed, restyled, and re-designed! Today I wanted to share some inspiration images that I found online and have been loving during this design process. I also wanted to share my inspo boards for the kids’ rooms! I’ve been purposely designing them to not only accommodate their individual aesthetics, but also to allow them to grow alongside the design as they age. Nothing is too “little kid” in any of them.
I’m going to mix it up throughout the whole house with a lot of hi-low design. If you know me, you know that I love a piece from Target as much as I love a bolt of Schumacher fabric. I don’t believe in the idea that everything has to be exclusive or “designer” to be elegant. And who can afford to exclusively design like that?! My goal for the next year is to show you guys a lot more of my home aesthetic and to bring you guys along on the journey of designing this house. While we won’t be renovating this house (Thank goodness!), I really hope my page becomes a fun design resource for you. I’d love to know what you guys think about the direction I’m going in!
