More pastel gorgeousness, via Nuevo Estilo, decorated by Luis Puerta. Pink, turquoise and gold, what a heavenly color combination.
Jewelry storage can be quite the challenge for us bling lovers, and if you are anything like me, you are in desperate need of a smart solution for storing ALL of your precious plastic jewels. If not, I desperately want to learn your tricks =) This jewelry tower from Pottery Barn, was way too good to pass without extra notice.
*
It features nine drawers, one of which is a velvet-lined ring case.
*
Four of the drawers are divided, the last four are regular open drawers.
*
The bottom four drawers are actually just two drawers with faux fronts, for storage of taller items. If I had any chance of squeeze in one more piece of furniture in my apartment, this would definitely be it!
*
This bathroom was love at first sight, even though it is not my style at all. That’s how cute it is ! Must be all the unexpected elements like the freestanding copper tub on the terracotta floors tiles and the creative storage solutions.
*

Towels are layered on a ladder leaned against the wall for easy access when climbing out of the tub. Soaps and shampoo is placed on an old garden chair, completely styled with scented candles and potted roses. You can get the tub from here (at a nice price!).
*

A gray wicker chair with soft linen cushion and a matching ottoman provides a place to relax and maybe do a home manicure. The tall floor candle holder and the fresh potted roses adds to the romantic atmosphere.
*

The sink looks like a tiny version of the tub. It is mounted on what looks like a tiny modified desk. Instead of shelves for (additional) towel storage, an old wicker basket is placed underneath the sink console. Definitely cute and creative, but I would want a larger mirror though.
*

Bathroom accessories are stored in a copper sauce pan inside this cabinet. Talk about matching!
*

The romantic style is all in the details. Take a look at these beautiful jars for storage of bath salt. Decorated with flowers and pink ribbon. So easy, so cute.
*
In need of inspiration? Head over to House to Home where you can (like here) browse by room! BTW I would love to know who designed / styled this bathroom, anyone know?
*

Navy blue and white romantic bedroom. Pretty lace bedspread, and double fabric curtains.
*
Navy blue and white living room. Pretty floral fabric repeated in blinds, cushions and on the chair. Can that coffee table get any lower? lol
*
These built-in bunks are too cute. Lots of storage possibilities both over and under the beds. Beige carpet, white furniture and navy blue walls.
*
A dark color wall require a pretty light color floor..

Be inspired by these gorgeous photographs by Donna Griffith:
*
Beautiful pink details. Pink feather wreath with Christmas glitter balls!
*
This detail photo is pretty. A stack of different style pink plates on soft pink fabric.
*
This bedroom is decorated in the same colors as the fabric pattern on the headboard. Beachy and fun!
*
Cute detail for concealing clutter: a shelf valance.

I love the idea of hidden storage, and these are definitely great ways to go:
