magazine monday: matchbook

John Robshaw is one of our go-to lines for great pillows and bedding. So when I saw him gracing the cover of this month's issue of Matchbook, I was excited to get a peek into his home. Like his textiles, his living space goes beyond the expected. For instance his art wall challenges the idea of what constitutes wall decor. Not only is a wall a great place to display a grouping of collected paintings, it can also be used to feature other beloved artifacts like a mask, a necklace, or even a favorite plate.

This room is a perfect mix of bold and basic. I love how the antique rug, dramatic chandelier, and statement wall are offset with simple, yet stylish bedding, mismatched side tables and lamps, and a sleek, minimalist headboard. The organic arrangements of fresh flowers make it just that much more fabulous. If only it were practical in the real world!

I came across a great new blog this weekend, dreams +jeans. I especially like her series Interior Envy. Of all the interiors this one had me the most envious (and inspired). Coincidentally we are working on a design project where we are planning to use windows like these as a room divider. Based on this image alone, I would say it's a brilliant idea!

magazine monday: living etc

Black and white will always be a timeless palette. In spaces like this I'm reminded that while classic it can also be dramatic and fresh. With white cabinetry being synonymous with high end kitchens, the choice of black cabinetry is wonderfully unexpected. Contrasted with a gleaming tile floor and marble backsplash, the black makes a bold yet sophisticated statement.

Who says a room can't be totally posh and oh-so-comfortable? Taking up the full width of this small room with all sectional makes it clear that this space is for lounging. Throw in saturated walls, ambient lighting, plenty of reading material, comfy cushions, a cozy throw, and a pretty ceiling to gaze up at and you're set for total relaxation wrapped in stylish serenity.
