MARK WILLIAMS DESIGN / YUMMY SCRUMPTIOUS
This living room made my heart skip a beat. The softness of the sheer draperies and the subtle patterns adds such a great depth to this traditionally styled living room. New traditional is definitely a good description for this beautiful home.

When looking through Horchow yesterday, I came across this beautiful collection; Lilly Pulizer. The fresh color palette of honeysuckle pink, white and yellow sealed the deal, so naturally I’ll be sharing!

This is the way to go if you need more of the color of the year in your life. We all know that pink is created by mixing red with white. Honeysuckle pink however, also contains a fair amount of black in it, or put in other words, it’s red toned down with gray (black+white). The resulting deepness is what makes honeysuckle pink look especially awesome when paired with crisp white, like they did it in this dining room.
*
Best thing about this dining table is the drawers. Imagine what you could keep in there for super easy access, like napkins, candles and wine bottle opener..
*
The shadowbox molding looks amazing, love the wallpaper too.
*
If I had to choose, the chair on the right would be mine. Which one would you pick?
*
This vanity is amazing. Love the brass inserts.
*
Details, details..
*
Out of curiosity: would you ever paint a room in your home honeysuckle pink? I definitely would =)

UPDATE: Ask on Facebook and you shall receive ;)
Paint color is Benjamin Moore Peony.

Here’s another beauty of a bedroom, courtesy of At Home Arkansas. It’s the bedroom of Interior Designer Cynthia Smiley. Notice how Cynthia uses textures to perfection. I also love how effortlessly she mixes styles in this room, just look at the Gustavian benches, the sleek modern bed frame, and the coastal elements and rattan bedside tables. The result is luxurious but far from pretentious.

According to At Home Arkansas, the paint color is Benjamin Moore Coastal Fog. To achieve this look, go for light colored fabrics in white, cream, beiges and grays. Pay extra attention to textures, and add a touch a color with toned down hues of peach, green and blue.
This beautiful bouquet of peach colored roses finishes of one of the bedside tables perfectly. The other one is topped with an equally pretty white coral.
This silver leafed dresser is decorated to perfection. The power of a perfect vignette is undeniable. Another closeup just because it’s so pretty. To read the article and view the source list, visit At Home Arkansas! Hope you enjoyed this room ;)

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 ;)
