A Manhattan kitchen built for entertaining in the city that never sleeps. It’s so hard to imagine that in a city like Manhattan, kitchens like this exists. This large kitchen is the centerpiece of the home. This is the perfect space for elaborate dinner parties with good friends designed by Elizabeth Roberts. I can only dream about throwing a gathering here. 

There’s just something about a beautiful retail space! I love walking into a gorgeous space and immediately getting a taste of the brand. In some cases, it can be like walking into that brand’s personal apartment. It’s just as interesting to explore the space as it is to shop the products. Today I’m exploring some incredible retail spaces in New York and California. Many of these brands happen to be favorites of mine. Let’s check out this incredible assortment of interiors! 

One thing I love posting about is celebrity home tours. When I ran across a tour of Liv Tyler’s West Village Townhouse I knew I had to cover it! A look inside Liv Tyler’s whimsical and beautifully designed townhouse! This stunning townhouse was entirely redone and was a historical renovation. They did an amazing job at adding custom molding, woods floors, pocket doors and more! This house tour is so good that it inspired two other post ideas that are now on my list! 

This gorgeous colorful Spanish colonial home is located in Franklin Hills. It was designed by Reath Design! When I ran across this home tour I was immediately intrigued by how well this home does color. This home is full of bold color choices and prints. I didn’t think it was possible to create a home with so much going on but this house makes it look easy. It’s not my go-to style but it’s incredibly beautiful and brilliantly designed. The darker feel to the home is perfect for the fall season! 

When I was designing the COCOCOZY design house I was so inspired by dining rooms with black chairs. I knew for the design house doing all black chairs would be too much but more on that later! I was inspired to compile all of these images in order to share my inspiration and hopefully provide some design ideas. There are so many different styles and ways to design a dining room around black dining room chairs. Let’s check these images out!

Today is a stunning West Coast House Tour. There is nothing quite like a beachy neutral designed home. While I may never own one I could look at images of them all day. The owner of this breathtaking home is the owner of the natural skincare line Lesse. It’s very clear that the owners of this home embrace the neutral color palette in all aspects of life. Let’s check out this amazing home! 

Doing a guest room makeover has been on my list of things to do for weeks! I recently was approached to do an Instastories partnership with Home Depot for a bedroom makeover. I love the final result so much, I decided to blog about it. This post is not a sponsored post. 

This Tudor House Tour is a spectacular home in LA. I love hearing about renovations and bringing old homes back to life which is exactly what happened to this home. The original idea was to re-do this home back to its original glory but after some work, a lot of structural issues came up. They got a bit more than they bargained for but were able to really customize this space to their needs. The final design turned out amazing! 

A foyer makeover was on my list of things to do for the end of August. I’m thrilled that I finally figured out how to design it. The entryway to my house is small but well defined. The area just ended up a bit forgotten, I never thought of doing anything with it until I partnered with Home Depot. I’m doing a fall refresh for my house and it includes a guest room makeover (coming soon!) and updating my foyer!

I love this light and refreshing bedroom decor by Amanda Barnes Interior Design and photographed by Alyssa Rosenheck. Waking up in this space would be so rejuvenating. I really favor a nice simple refreshing bedroom like this one for making the waking up process so much better.  This well edited and simple room definitely proves less is more. The added character of the natural tone Restoration Hardware Caned Bed and the pinstripe throw with the pom poms are the the perfect combination to the faded blue rug.  See more details below!      

I’ve always been fascinated by hotel interior design. And, as boutique hotels have grown in popularity the design is getting better and better. I love searching for boutique hotels every time I travel. There’s nothing better than planning my next trip or dreaming about new places to travel. I could get lost on the internet for days exploring locations, scenery, food, and hotels. On my last travel binge, I found a handful of incredible hotels to add to my list. These hotels are all very different in design style, but all special in their own way.

Today I’m highlighting a blogger turned mega entrepreneur – Justina Blakeney. She is known for her blog turned interior design store Jungalow. Her products cover a wide variety of products: bed + bath, art, home decor, planters, kitchen, and more! She has written two books in the last few years and has an interior goods line with Anthropology. She has partnered with more than a handful of incredible brands and is a public speaker. This woman is unstoppable! 

I need to plan a fall getaway!  San Francisco is calling my name.  I have lots of friends up north and a cousin too.  I definitely have the bay area on my mind these days!  San Francisco has a wonderful array of short term rental homes perfect for a vacation or longer stay! San Francisco has been on my mind lately and I’ve been spending some time looking into rentals. I discovered during my research that San Francisco is trying to shut down the number of rental properties like this so there are much fewer listings than in previous years. But not to worry! I found a handful of great spaces at various price points. Let’s check these homes out!

Tiny apartments are such a fun topic. As someone who lives in LA, I love having a spacious home and many rooms to decorate. It just feels like a complete space that represents me. Lately, I’ve been browsing some of my favorite interior websites and seeing a lot of small apartment design. It’s incredible how much you can fit in 500 sq feet or less.

I really enjoy looking at Los Angeles home interiors. So many brilliant designers are based here and you simply can’t beat Westcoast style. Here is a round-up of some beautiful celeb homes around the L.A. area! 

I’ve been seeing so many incredible closets lately and have some closet envy! There’s nothing quite like a beautifully designed closet. Creating a space to seamlessly organize your clothing is a big task. There is a ton of great closet inspiration out there. Here is a collection of some of the best closets I found.
