home tour inspiration with kourtney kardashian

By  •  HOME DECOR

If you admit to watching KUWTK (Keeping Up With The Kardashians) like I do — it’s amusing tv, people! — then you’ve certainly taking a glimpse inside Kourtney’s gorgeous home. Obsessed. There’s a lot going on, and it might not be everyone’s taste, but it’s incredible inspiration, reminding me to pay attention to the details. I’m newly in love with learning more how to decorate my house so it feels like a home, and details like wallpaper, window treatments, lighting and more, really transform a place. Her home (now on the market) gives me a lot to think about. Dreaming I could just move in…

inspiration: 7 ways to decorate a bar cart

By  •  HOME DECOR

bar cart inspiration

Ah, the illustrious bar cart. I don’t know the exact moment happened when I, a now mother or two who doesn’t even drink, felt absolutely compelled to have a bar cart in my home. It became a mission to not only find the perfect spot but to also find one at a killer price point. I saw this one at Target and soon so did the rest of the world. It’s been photographed everywhere, including a few images below, and is just pure magnificence. So when I told my Target friends about my love affair over pretty much everything Threshold, the line behind this gem, they offered to connect me to a designer. Gasp. This average gal with a crazy *lack* of penchant for anything design?! Sure! Sign me up. I’ll fill you in on that amazing interview soon enough however in the interim here’s some inspiration helping me fill up my bar cart (since it has to be relatively child friendly!).

By  •  HOME DECOR

In advance of sharing with you our updated office space — a project we’re wrapping up in partnership with Target x Nate Berkus — we’re compelled to share with you the major interior design inspiration that is Nate Berkus’ home with fiancĂ©, Jeremiah Brent. {and, let’s just put it out there that they’re the cutest couple ever. award for that?}. We digress.  How amazing is their home?

What draws us to Nate and Jeremiah’s style is that it’s always totally cool yet comfortable and living in looking. This home, with its very neutral color palette, still has baskets filled with flip flops to encourage lounging, hanging towels, and pieces of personality to show the people behind the space. Get ready to soak this in, and check out the complete feature in Harpers Bazaar.

home style: easy breezy whites

By  •  HOME DECOR

With just the right touch, a white space can be breezy, beautiful, classic and… not-at-all hospital sterile feeling. Whether it’s adding punches of color, a black on white scheme, touches of soft grey or using expansive windows to let the natural beauty around you come in, white is equally as cozy and warm as a place filled with dark woods and other richer tones.

Worried that white is not for you? As someone with lots of white in my home, including a cream leather couch I promise it’s easy to clean, and enables you to create any backdrop.  You don’t have to go as stark white as some of the image below, but use them as inspiration, pin and refer to them when creating your own open and inviting home. Remember, beige can be boring, white makes an impact.
