wearing kelly bedroom

with the amount of design choices one could think of, its hard to stick with just one (or two, or three) styles. with me, if it's not a clean/light/neutral palette, i get industrial/ eco glam/ eclectic.

and today, i'm feeling eclectic glam oozing with colors and textures! like one of Kelly Weartsler's bedroom designs here....

i really like the spunky colors and textures she used in this bedroom, not to mention, that white and pink rendition of the Ming chair. it's all pink and purple, but not too girly! i don't know how that chandelier lights up, but it definitely adds up and made the room really luxurious. so inspired, i created this outfit peg thinking, if i couldn't bring this home, maybe i could just wear it! :)

color blocking much :)

Pegs for our next shoot.

COLOR BOARD

wow i remembered following fashion chalet 3yrs ago when she was just starting to blog,

and her style has come a long way (along with her blog :)

...can't help but use some of her detail shots as my color inspiration :)

fashion and interior design

things i'm loving at lookbook.nu right now :)

been ages since i had time browsing through fashion blogs/ lookbook...

i was too engrossed with Interiors for the past year,

and boy, do i miss it! :)

but Interior Design has also its own flair... and can get really really interesting!

just like Fashion and styling, you have to be really keen at the details.

the accessories we wear, what shoes/ bags goes well with what outfit.

how we play around textures, from leather, suede, cotton, and fur...

different pegs and eras, vintage vs. trends... etc.

but Interior Design, on the other hand, is more difficult.

you have to know the ergonomics of furniture, the function, weight, availability,
and effects of materials in diff. locations, how to arrange, how to restrain.

like Fashion, we aim for Balance.

We stop putting or adding stuff when we feel like we had IT...

the look and mood we're aiming for :)

currently, i'm loving Eclectic style in Interiors...
also the mixing of classic vs contemporary,
then shabby chic on my own space :)

Doilies & Lace

My recent post about brown paper packages and how you can dress them up with doilies got me thinking about all things doily and lace. I love the DIY doily art I did for Chloe's room and still have a few more vintage doilies in my stash to use for other projects. Here's some ideas that are inspiring me...

Lace tape to pretty up your packages. From here and here.

Vintage doily candles from here.

More doily art via here.

Doily ideas from Martha - decorative tins and a doily chandelier.

And a doily table runner. Wish I had a harvest table just like that too!

Brown Paper Packages

"Brown paper packages, tied up with string, these are a few of my favourite things!" Maybe it was seeing the recent reunion of the Sound of Music cast on Oprah, but walking through Ikea recently I just HAD to buy some of this kraft paper (a bargain at $1.49 for 8m/26ft!). Immediately, I had visions of creating a vintage Christmas... HandyMan's childhood ornaments decorating the tree, handmade gifts, and presents wrapped in kraft paper and twine.

These images are inspiring me...

Maybe I'll try out the faux bois tool I found this summer and try making Martha's wood grain paper too!

Have you started thinking about the holidays yet?

Inspiration

Have you heard of Inspiration for Decoration? Its one of my go-to-blogs when I'm in need of some, well, inspiration for decoration. Here's some of my favourite images (and best of all she provides most of the links to the original image source).
