Bedrooms that blow me away

Good morning hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. We did, it was actually pretty relaxing despite having another tournament for my son, but this one was thankfully local. We are winding down with the tournaments and I am not complaining! As we are nearing the final stages of the house, the decisions are coming at us fast and furious and I need all the attention, focus and clear thinking I can muster! I love bedrooms and now that I am really starting to think about my own in the new house, I have been paying a lot of attention to them, how they are furnished, what kinds of bedding is used, if wallpaper is being used in the bedrooms that I tend to be drawn to, lighting, etc.....its all in the details and how those details all come together! I am drawn to softer colors, love the idea of a bedroom feeling like you have been enveloped in a cocoon of luxuriousness and serenity. I tend to favor the soft blues and creams but every now and then I surprise myself by being really attracted to a bedroom that is not in line with what I typically like. So today is a post about some beautiful bedrooms that for one reason or another is just very inspirational. Many different styles pictured here from casually coastal to very formal, but they are all lovely!  I love seeing extra seating in a bedroom, whether it be a chaise lounge, a bench at the foot of the bed, a pair of love seats or a huge comfy over sized club chair and ottoman. Whats your ideal bedroom? Always love to know!

And in honor of Mosaic Monday here is a little recap:

Well....get any ideas? Have a favorite here? I love seeing gorgeous inspiration but admittedly it can sidetrack and overwhelm me when you have to narrow it down to ONE thing!! I feel like I am making progress however and I cannot imagine having gone through this process without the Internet, God bless bless those brains that created it some thirty or forty years ago! Hope you have a wonderful day....

Designer spotlight: Sandra Nunnerly

Happy Friday! We are off to a huge lacrosse tournament in Maryland and will return on Sunday hopefully in time to make it to a BBQ- Hope you have some fun plans for the weekend!  I first discovered Sandra's work because someone I know used her firm to decorate her magnificent home. I was most impressed with the cohesive but incredibly elegant decor throughout her large but very inviting home. It was undoubtedly very sophisticated but felt "homey" to me which I believe is an important hallmark for any designer designing a home for a family in particular. This is afterrall a place where a family has to live day to day, not a museum to house beautiful objects to admire from afar. After looking at her very impressive body of work, Sandra has clearly demonstrated her incredible knack and talent for very sophisticated interiors and not just traditional ones though those are my personal favorites. Her talent  takes her all over the globe but most of her work is done here in the U.S. I think her incredible work speaks for itself, so let me show you what this amazing designer can do! Could you possibly pick a favorite room? It would be hard for me, but there are a few standouts to me, loving that chinoiserie gray/blue room and love this first image, but its too hard to pick a favorite. How about you?

This is a beautiful space, love the scale but its still remarkably cozy

Very elegant foyer, always like the use of antique mirror

Now THIS is what I call a wine cellar!

That paper...dreamy!!

Fabulous apartment high in the sky...a real showstopper!

This is a bedroom that would be hard to leave!

Love how quietly elegant this bathroom is

Always a sucker for banquette seating

Such an elegant bathroom

Love everything about this fabulous room

This space is incredible, love that window!

So what do you think? Can you see why I am such a fan? Her interiors are uber elegant and so beautiful, but they are at the same time, rooms I can see myself living in, not museum like spaces that are meant for looking but not touching and enjoying. I think she is one talented lady and I for one, am a big fan of her firms work. Do you have a favorite room? All of the bathrooms are heavenly! Have a wonderful day!
