Stylish and Happy Doll House

I've always liked doll houses. In fact, I firmly believe my design addiction grew on me since I was a little girl, all because of doll houses. I had one, I still secretly keep the tiny furniture. Even now in my early thirties with a girl who's begining to leave toys behind, I still feel an irresistible attraction towards doll houses. I want them all. And making my own doll house is even more appealing to me, because it involves everything I like: houses, interior design, tiny things, DIYing, crafting, you name it!

So I guess you'll know by now my amazing surprise with the lovely house Megan from mouse house made for her girls.

 

Ain't it a beauty? She's fun, happy, and full of details! She's got it all, especially tiny towels, frames, art, a craft room, all made by the amazing  Megan.
It gets me thinking I should make a doll house too. Although I guess I should finish doing my real home before I make a doll one, right? =)

There's something I love and cannot get enough of with brick walls. I find it a gorgous resource for decorating. Rustic meets modern and chic is definitely one of my favorite design styles. I love its rich texture, especially the white kind of washed ones. Pair it up with a chandelier, and voilá, you've got yourself a winner!

So, if you're fortunate enough to have a brick wall, I would definitely recommend making it the star of the room.

This time, I think I can't make up my mind.

Do you have a single favorite?

A great way to start the day for me would be by having a nice breakfast in a gourgeous kitchen banquette. I'm so in love with these little nooks. I find them romantic and just amazing. They're an excellent way to save space if you have a tiny home, with sofas or built-ins. They all look incredible to me, do you agree?

Have a beautiful and inspired day :)

One of my all-time favorite colors is blue. I love its range of tones, from deep, ocean blue, to aqua. While turquoise is still one of my top ranked, I've come to realize that for my home walls I like having a softer tone, one that doesn't steal attention from the decor, but instead, enhances it. And that's where Powder Blue comes handy. I love it. I even love its name. It is an idillic color because it combines blue's natural serenity with gray's neutrality. Plus, it looks amazing in any room!
Actually, I'm thinking about using powder blue for one of my rooms at home. Can you tell which one it is?

Hoping your week is going great!

Gorgeous home in Spanish Mediterranean

I have no words to describe this perfect home. I love how it's casual, open, with amazing views, and a great mix of rustic and modern. I'm also in love with all the textures. Just a perfect home for the weekend.

In other news, tomorrow I go back to my woodshop class... so excited!
