Maybe we can hold hands.

No? Ok. Just friends is fine, too.

Sincerely,

the interior guru

Ahhh, black&white done JUST RIGHT. That’s refreshing. Sometimes, black and white is wayyyy too contrasty. I thought I was going to have a seizure once! But this room, now this is soph-is-ti-cayyyy, okay?!

Why? Because. The only thing thats actually white is the wall, and the only furniture that’s black is a leather bench that has an airy quality. That negative space underneath the bench was absolutely neccessary for contributing to the sense of spaciousness in the design. Not to mention that the statement-piece-of-a-mirror is also contributing to the lightness and airy quality of the room.

Beautiful balance is acheived not only through the dressors placed on opposite sides of the wall, but because of the perfect choices of the neutral, warm toned rug and the elegant ceiling-to-floor, gray curtains.

There’s just so much to love about it!

I love how the wood grain is peeking through the dressors, and the use of iron/metal in some of the pieces–giving this posh room a masqueline quality. The rounded edges of the dressors, the round mirror, all a taste of femininity…..yet, the dark, strong metal frame of the bench, metal pulls on the dressors, and metal frame of the mirror add that masqueline vibe to the design.

The simple artwork, and the glass table decor, perrrrrfect choices for achieving an uncomplicated design.

So, if you and hubby can’t come to a compromise, this type of design is where it’s at!!

It’s dark, but it’s light. And done just right. #wowthatwasntcornyatallcough

And that’s why this is the #photooftheday

Whether it’s the amazing complimentary colors of the mustard and wood tones with that nostolgic navy, or the statement coffee table–that’s really more like a piece of art– you’re bound to wanna curl up in that 0o0oso0o velvety soft mustard chair and sip your cup -o-jo…Whether you’re a chick or a big, burly, bearded dude, this room aims to please.

Honorable mention to the beautiful detail in the ceiling #character

I swear, every greatly designed room speaks….and this one whispers chocolate haha there’s so much warmth and harmony, and just the perfect amount of texture. It’s kind of the same feeling you get when you bite into a Ferrero Rochér lol omgomg

Btw, I think everyone needs that coffee table in their life. Talk about form that goes beyond functionality. And really, we all know how hard it is to find the perfect gold without gettin’ tacky. Lezzbereal. The pendant globe light, #onpoint. I only wish the photo was bigger so we could get a sneak peak at that gnarly-perfectly-ash-gray sofa. Look at dem curves! Lol no, I’m not going to dry hump the sofa guys……may….be…..?

MAN, am I a sucker for that mid-century modern vibe though.

Mucho props to the designer.

And that is why this is the #photooftheday.
