Interiors in Vogue: COACH creative director

Scenes from the latest issue of Vogue. Take a peek inside the home of Reed Krakoff (creative director at COACH) + Delphine Krakoff (interior designer). I love every single thing about this space...the words 'unexpected glamour' pop into my mind. They must be an uber creative couple. What a fabulous place to raise a family in NYC, no?

House Tour: David Collins

I'm thrilled to be starting off this week with a delightful treat for all of you who love color!
David Collins shares his home of fabulous proportions and colors.
Blues, purples and greens are the foundation of the color story...so very cool and relaxing.
He throws in uber modern gems yet keeps a traditional wit about the home.
I think its gorgeous and very, very well done.

 I have always loved the modern look of open staircases like these.

Is this not 'office space of the day' worthy? love.

I just can't ever emphasize enough "it's all about the details"!

Oh, I just can't take all this goodness! So, so good, no?

The huge shoulders + fitted back had me at Hello!
It goes with every single outfit and works for every single occassion, church, shopping, brunches, dinners, etc. It's perfection.

I took a old little stool, repainted it glossy white and threw on some blue + white  
Chiang Mai fabric.

Um, total swoon, it's my new favorite little piece! I think I am in love.

Super successful 'white' weekend I'd say! 
also...
I find this bedroom to be very cute. 
I am loving the pink suzani look right now, I searched for one all weekend

Home Tour + decorating ideas: scandinavian style

These are the moments of this scandinavian blogger's domestic bliss.

If I had her view, I would be in bliss every single day! It's absolutely gorgeous. 

I find it quite cute how she displays her collectibles in such a boutique-like way

She has such an Anthropologie signature style and I can't help but love the eye candy. If I lived in Norway I would be visiting her everyday...just like I sort of stalk Anthropolgie just to see the latest + greatest store decor!

Dear Decorista, {how to decorate like Kelly Wearstler}

Dear Decorista,

Hi Ashlina,

I absolutely love your blog! I was wondering if you could help me with a design delima? I decided to paint my home office like Kelly Wearstler’s foyer (crazy raspberry graffiti like swirls). It came out wonderful! However I am completely stuck on where to go from here. I have a desk from Ikea that is a white base and a black and white glass top. Other than that, I bought a bunch of white and black accessories. I was thinking of going pool blues and turquoises but then I was thinking maybe purples, oranges and yellows could be cool? I don’t know, I’d love your input!

Kiki

 How creative is this girl? I wish I could pull off painting my home office like that. I love it!

Which is why I would love feedback from my readers!

She gave me 2 options of color ways. I have my ideas, but I am curious to know

Which colors do you think she should accessorize with?

Option #1

Option #2

she is such a trendsetter, isn't she? total rockstar!

Option #1 zigzagpillow, jonathanadler.com; geo nesting bowls, shopfurbish.com; pink rug, madeline; aqua lamp, arteriors; blue crab watercolor, LauraTrevey.com.
Option #2 Love candy print, madebygirl.com; pink ikat pillow, shopfurbish.com; yellow finnials, zgallerie; yellow zebra rug, thisnext.com
