It’s always fun to get a sneak peek into the homes of the rich and famous, since they obviously have the means to create exactly what they want.

I like that they chose pink and green, instead of the traditional pink and blue color combination. Mariah obviously has a very feminine taste.

You can see Marcia Cross and Minni Driver’s nurseries here if you missed it ;)

Mariah hired legendary Interior Designer Mario Buatta to design her twin nursery, and he designed the rest of her home too. These images are from 2001, I’m guessing she has changed it up a bit in 10 years.

The lilac and cream color palette, combined with layered floral fabrics, prism lamps, potted plants, tassels and venetian mirror definitely underline Mariah’s feminine taste.

We have all seen Mariah’s ginormous walk-in closet (more like boutique), complete with a massive chandelier.

I love her star spangled tile floor. But I’m sure it’s not for everyone.

Our singer herself in her living room. What do you think, is Mariah’s decor style the way you imagined it to be?

These images were published in Style at Home a while ago and have been relaxing in my inspiration files for far too long!
*
This living room is strikingly gorgeous with the high contrast between the dark hardwood floors and off white walls. I’m in love with the pair of mirrored chests!
*
Isn’t the area rug fab? Not to mention the blue tinted class coffee table. Blue/turquoise looks to be the go-to color in this fabulous home.
*
The tulip table has been around for a long time, and it doesn’t seem like it is going out fashion anytime soon.
*
The master bedroom is accented with red/purple tones, accentuating the wooden bed frame.
*
This blue and pink nursery is the cuteness. Do you think it’s for a girl or a boy? I’m thinking the former, but this could easily be used for both genders (in my opinion).

HGTV Canada’s design duo Colin and Justin are two of my new color heroes (I have many). Since I don’t live in Canada I hadn’t heard of them of seen their show before, but boy am I glad I came across these two. What I like about their design style is their fantastic color palettes. For instance here are some of their lively blue and yellow designs:
*
This narrow kitchen is opened up with open shelving. Glossy bright yellow shelving mind you. The wall paint looks something like BM Airway and is accented with bright yellow. White, which is a very reflective and “competitive” color works as the perfect middle man in this color relationship. Can you see what I mean?
*
Another thing Colin and Justin often do is using the same color palette throughout the floor plan. In this dining room the blue wall color is continued into the base molding and floating shelves, while the yellow accent is kept to a minimum.
*
This modern blue and yellow living room is normally not my style, I usually require drapery on the windows, area rug under the coffee table and a ceiling lamp of some kind, but the color palette is so great that I would gladly move in (and install the drapery later =).
*
Blue and yellow kids room. Notice what a tiny amount of yellow is used in this room, just lining on the curtains and accent pillows, plus a couple of vases filled with fresh flowers.
*
So what can we learn from Colin and Justin about using blue and yellow in our interiors?
- The cool soothing blue is a great base for a vibrant yellow, and is best used together with bright white.
- Introduce a dash of yellow on a richer blue background. Use a more muted blue for larger yellow surfaces
So what do you thing of using blue and yellow as a color combination for a room? Would you ever?
Hi guys! I’ve been super busy for the last few days, so I’m making up with some fun fresh color inspiration. These are teen rooms, and they are all designed by Charlotte, NC based interior design firm Lucy and Company. If it is color you want, check out their website!

A gray base with pastel lilac, green and yellow is a fun and untraditional color palette for a teen girls bedroom, don’t you think? The yellow green (I refuse to spell out chartreuse. Whoops!), I prefer to call it “puke green” myself, is the popping color that pulls this room together. You can see it is used on the lamp shades and blinds as well as on the accent wall.
*
A beige teen boys bedroom with an accent wall painted in browns and baby blue stripes. This color palette is very adaptable as the boy transforms into a little man =)
*
This teen girls bedroom is pink, but by no means babyish. Bright accent colors like apple green, purple, red and orange makes takes it from girls room to teen room.
*
An adult bedroom can have a splash of color too, like this gray and brown accented with a lovely burnt orange. I LOOOVE the checkered accent wall in this room. So chic!

Little Crown Interiors has some of my favorite baby nursery designs. Do you remember this glamorous nursery from an earlier post? Well, here is another one, with the energetic color scheme of turquoise, orange and rich brown:
*
Color is injected into this white room through a turquoise feature wall. The accent colors are all found in the bedding of the crib, tying the room together. Personalized name art on the wall has been very popular in nurseries for some time now.
*
According to Little Crown Interiors‘ website the artwork above the change table is the DNA footprint of the parents. Absolutely a very personal touch, I love it!
*
A lot of companies specialize in transforming your personal genome into art, this particular one is produced by British company DNA Art. What do you think, would you display your genetic code on the wall?
*
UPDATE: The actual DNA art used by Little Crown Interiors in this nursery is done by DNA11.
San Francisco based interior design firm Coddington Design is behind these beautiful interiors:

Beautiful living room with a color palette of foggy light blue and creamy beige. The scale and proportions in this room is great (pun not intended actually). Look at how tiny the coffee table comes out next to the tall furniture and high ceiling. Mounting straight curtains directly under the seiling helps too. These winged chairs suits my recent chair-upholstered-with-beautiful-pattern obsession perfectly! Do you think a TV screen is hiding in that cabinet? That would explain the size and placement.
*
The front of the chair is beige with deep buttoning, and the ceiling is the same color as the walls.
*
The built in shelves on each side of the fireplace are painted blue inside to make them more a part of the wall. Check out the mirrored front.
*
The soft feminine lines definitely gives this tiny work station a “wow factor”.
*
And this dining room, with its blue walls and carpets, takes a dramatic turn with a rich brown (or is it green?) ceiling. This is one of my favorite color combos; Light blue, creams and green. Just like my living room! And don’t get me started on the dining chairs.. Nail head trim AND door knocker detail? Perfect!
*
I couldn’t resist featuring this cute nursery. Blue walls with old pink decor. Perfect for boy or girl!
*
And I wish we could see more of this super fresh bedroom. The reigning color of the year, turquoise always looks crispy clean when combined with white. Notice how many (barely) different shades of turquoise they fitted in here. And the inverted pattern color on the chair (right) is a great touch.
