I just couldn’t help myself featuring another one of Ashley’s amazing works. This guest bedroom is such an unusual beauty. Dark, clean and minimal, this bedroom appeals to both sexes. The leather upholstered beds ads a masculine touch, along with the rich brown paint. As dark colors must be balanced with light ones (unless you aspire to live in a dungeon), there’s no better way to go than white. The fitted table skirt covering the bedside table is one of my favorites (see lot’s of evidence here ;-). And yes, the leopard print pillows are definitely the icing on this delicious chocolate cake.

LEOPARD ACCENT PILLOW / ASHLEY GOFORTH
Reading the specifications on this leopard accent pillow made me giggle: “spot clean only”. Alrighty then.. =)

This coffee table holds approximately 280 votives (I counted one petal and added up =). Pretty unique table decor, don’t you think? I love it! xox Linda

Terracotta walls, leopard area rug on chevron floors, white tufted leather sofa and snake art. Could we expect less fabulousness from Choo mogul (lame pun very much intended ;-) Tamara Mellon?

I’ve had a lot of questions about this koi wallpaper in the lovely powder room featured in this post. The wallpaper is obviously hand painted, which you can tell when there is no pattern repeat. I believe it’s from de Gournay (please correct me if I’m wrong), which means most of us can’t afford it.

Luckily I came across a more affordable version on Wallpaper Direct. What do you think? Is this a good alternative, or does the pattern repeat ruin the charm?

This amazing bedroom belongs to the lovely Dayka at Life + Style. Dayka is (obviously) a designer and also co-founder of Room Service Atlanta along with Erika Ward, a non-profit organization assisting families in making the transition from homelessness to self-sufficiency. Super talented AND gives back!
*
I’ve been following Dayka’s blog for years, simply because I adore her sense of style. Isn’t her bedroom amazing? I love the warm atmosphere of the rich brown walls, contrasted by crisp white and accented with gold.
*
Of course, the bedding doesn’t hurt either. Successfully combining ikat, polka dots and heavy stripe is a feat in itself, and Dayka makes it seem effortless.
*
A closer look at the amazing polka dot bedding. I want!!

Best of all, Dayka is an avid thrifter and DIYer, so all furniture pieces you see in these images are the result of her magic hands. This bedroom will be published in its entirety in a national media outlet (secret for now), and I can’t wait to see it!! Go check out her blog for more inspiration!

Oh how I love a beautiful dark wall contrasted with white. The extra spark added by silver, gold and mirrored accents really makes this living room a dream come true. It’s the home of Janet, who is part of the Heather Garrett Design team.

This room is so simple but layered at the same time. Clean shapes and colors are softened by interesting patterns, beautiful texture and shiny surfaces.

The entryway is a perfect example of how classic elements can be mixed with natural ones. LOVE the coral lamps! What do you think?
