In my dreams I am sitting in this garden room, floral tea close at hand, writing letters (no computers here please ... except perhaps my smartphone so I can IG pretty snaps of my surroundings), misting moss and rearranging pebbles. Bliss! By Frank Ponterio.
A random mix of colours, fabrics, patterns and furnishings in this quirky Los Angeles home designed by Zenzi Gadson and Justin Maurice (of Maurice Gadson). That green vinyl material on the dining chairs is so unexpected and totally rad, and I love how they've taken a large open-concept area and carved our 4 individual spaces whilst maintaining a level of airiness.
Don't get me wrong. I love colour. You only have to look at my own home. But sometimes I'm stopped in my tracks by a stunning home that is all about white. Not sterile or cold white on white but white as a beautiful canvas on which to display your treasures. This Silver Lake, Los Angeles home by interior designer Stefani Stein is the perfect example of fresh, vibrant white grounded with texture and natural finishes as well as pops of colour.
These spaces are so bright and summery. They remind me how much I love sun, warmth and greenery. I wish I could spend every waking moment of summer outdoors. Gawd I resent my office job this time of year. :(

We have featured many modern farmhouses on the blog over the years, and according to Anthony Michael this is such a dwelling... but this may be the least farmhouse-y home we have ever featured. Not one bit of reclaimed wood to be had! I am not sure what part of it constitutes a farmhouse but I frankly don't really care because it is beautiful and I love the kitchen - especially that pretty backsplash.
