You know when you just stumble across a photo of a beautiful space, and you just NEED to see what the rest of the home looks like? This was the case when I first saw this room. Luckily I did manage to track down the designer behind this beauty, and her name is Megan Winters. Let’s take a little tour, shall we?

Last night I came across this gorgeous living room on Veranda.com, and (as per usual) fell madly in love. As I got to reading the interview accompanying the beautiful images, I quickly realized it belonged to the one and only Jennifer Lopez. How interesting!

Jennifer’s home is designed by Michelle Workman, and now I have yet another designer crush. Isn’t this living room amazing? Michelle based the entire home on a color palette of grays subtly infused with color.

I would definitely say this is a glamorous home. So what makes it so glamorous? I believe it starts with the subtle color scheme, brought to life through luxurious velvet and silk fabrics and contrasted with curvy black details and shiny metals. Not to mention the classic furniture with modern twists, and the huge Art Deco influence.

A simple but beautiful vignette in the background. Fresh cut pink flowers are to be found throughout the entire house.

This little brass top hat-and-cane table actually turned out to be a champagne cooler. How fun is that?

Now onto Jennifer’s drop dead gorgeous dining room. Again we see the strong influence of Art Deco in the glass console table and the beautiful powder pink wallpaper.

Tufted velvet dining chairs with nailhead trim? Yes please!
*
Art Deco inspired Tulip Damask wallpaper by Cole & Son. The gold detail really makes this wallpaper come to life, don’t you think?

Blue is the choice color for the kitchen as well. I’d love to get a closer look at the tiles, they look so shiny and pretty. I’m guessing they are shell tiles?

This dining area is just too gorgeous for words. Love everything about it. So much lovely detail, and so perfectly combined.

Another beautiful seating area. The glam factor is upped with shiny chrome details paired with glass surfaces and sleek white furniture.

Now this is what I would call a gorgeous bedroom. Light, pretty and feminine. I’d love to use this BM Home Sweet Home paint color somewhere.

See how perfectly the wall color is picked from the stonework on the fireplace? Not that is how it’s done right!

This is the last picture, I swear! Hope you enjoyed another celebrity home tour, although it was the design itself which attracted me to these images, not the owner ;)
*
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).

Lovely reader Hilary so kindly requested a Moroccan theme post as inspiration for her bedroom makeover. Ask and you shall receive! My first thought off cause went to these dreamy interiors by Jeffers Design Group:
*
This tiny seating area is a feast for the eye with it’s great shapes, proportion and color. Hypnotizing!
*
The seating area is situated in a hallway in front of this staircase. I know the Moroccan style incorporates a lot of geometrical patterns and beautiful tiles, but I haven’t seen it combined into a beautiful hardwood floor like this before. And what do you think about the carpeting on the stairs? Looks like someone went up before and left a trail of rose petal for you to follow. Very inviting =)
*
This coral pink living room is topped off with a yellow ceiling and beige furniture. The furniture is pretty low set and simple in design, serving as the perfect backdrop for layering of pillows and fabrics of bright colors and beautiful pattern.
*
Those built in shelves!!
*
A simple but dramatic vignette with a mirror, two symmetrically arranged sculptures and a tray with silver tea service. The high gloss cabinet even has a tassel handle!
*
First thing you notice when walking through the door of this bedroom, apart from the fantastic door itself, has to be that ceiling.
*
Golden beige bedroom with every possible shade and hue of coral. Spicy hot colors!
*
View from the bed. There are so much detail here, even the lamp shades have beaded fringes.
*
I just could not leave this dressing room out.
*
When I think about Moroccan style interiors I think tassels, trays, big soft throw pillows and layering of hot fabrics. Oh yeah, the lanterns and incense too off cause!
It’s so fascinating to look into the homes of the rich and famous, as they have all the means to create the perfect home. This time we’ll take a look into actress Gwyneth Paltrow’s Long Island home. Here we go:
*
This is our actress in her gorgeous living room. Gwyneth obviously like her home light and classic with pops of pastels. On a side note, I adore her dress!
*
A beautiful pale gray damask wallpaper graces the entryway and staircase. Black accents and chrome finishes adds a modern touch to the classically beautiful space.
*
The artwork is by Ann Carrington, and it’s made out of shiny ivory buttons!
*
This dining room is the epitome of simple romantic design. The Swarovski blossom chandelier is available here for those of you who can afford it. It’s only $27,350.00.
*
BEST HOME NEWS / HEADBOARD / PILLOW / BUTTERFLY PILLOW
This is Gwyneth’s daughter Apple’s bedroom. In keeping with the rest of the house, this bedroom is light and airy, with splashes of fuchsia for a girly princess look.
*
The kitchen has matte black cabinets and beige tiling, and a pair of white chandeliers brings on the glamour.
*
HABITUALLY CHIC / CELEBRITY HOUSES
The black wall covering in this bathroom is designed by Kelly Wearstler and is available here :)

Hope you enjoyed!
David Kaplan is the designer behind this beautiful home of blues and pinks:
*
This beautiful light blue living room is decorated very subtly paying close attention to pattern, texture and dimension.
*
I think this color palette is absolutely fantastic. The colors really play off of each other. Bright, but toned down.
*
Take a look at the different chairs on this room. Very sculptural.
*
David mixes a lot of metals and metal colors in this room. Just look at the coffee table with the gold picture frames. I really like how he painted the whole mantel the same color as the walls, and used a slightly deeper tone on the molding.
*
The dining area is the same wall color, it might possibly be an open plan solution with the living room. Even the window frames are blue. The black dining table is very visually heavy (and probably physically heavy too), but perfectly balanced out by very light feminine chairs and beautiful flowers and chandelier.
*
In open plan solutions I often notice wall paneling is used to define the living room, like in this one.
*
Beautiful dresser.
*
An accent wall in a stairway. Great idea to add some color and depth!
