Aww, how cute is this space for a baby’s room? Lots of cute little animals and love how the shelves are arranged. Plus the grasscloth wallpaper and blue painting are just perfect.

This room is so adorable. Love the colors and textures, the rocker in this gorgeous red with the shaggy pouf. Absolutely playful.

Remember this house by d’apostrophe design? Here is more!

I just love this punch of red from the vintage moroccan rug on the floor. My fav Living Divani sofa, the extra wall. A minimalist fireplace after my own heart. The floating panels above conceal ductwork…brilliant.

Dinesen wide-plank Douglas-fir floorboards. BDDW floor lamp.

Chairs and matching side table are vintage Allan Gould.

Amazingly cool speakers are by Proclaim Audioworks. Vintage Belgian chair. I could totally practice yoga here, you?

Super cute ducduc beds.

I love the idea of creative bunk beds for kids. There is just something fantastical about them.

So creative and linear. Would love to wake up to that view. Yh2 Architect.

This looks comfortable and totally a great use of space.

Nice with the wood wall separating the two sides.

Great colors! Design by John Maniscalco.

Today is my two year wedding anniversary! My husband and I are celebrating in Madrid. This is for you my love, one day you will have a mountain house, I promise!

Aerin Lauder’s perfectly warm yet contemporary mountain house in Aspen.

I would take one of those cozy jackets…although I hope it is faux fur!

Vintage chair and nightstands. Feels toasty and intimate, created by dynamic natural textures of wool, woods and furs.

This is my favorite room. The wood wall, the wood pendant, fur pillows and of course a friendly little bear.

John Maniscalco is so talented at creating contemporary clean spaces with an inviting warmth.

I like this furniture layout.

These bunk beds are pretty fab. Love the purple accent fabric on the chairs.

The brilliance of Tamizo Architects.

Floating envelope of steel stairs…so cool.

Gorgeous bookcase/wall! The lighting is effervescent.

<3 this light white oak flooring.

Fun!

I spent the long weekend on an amazing ranch in Montana. Now that I am back in the city I am missing the fresh country air and the warmth of the interiors. Shamir Shah Design’s project in Vermont feel nothing short of a lovely retreat.

I love how the wood surrounds the integrated sink and the gorgeous wood mirror.

Can I please be here all week?

Coolest contemporary bunk beds ever I think.
