I’m starting a new weekly post called ‘Dreaming of…’ with a special room or product I am dreaming of each week. Today I’m dreaming of a warm cozy bed…While we’re all waking up on this Monday morning, I’ve decided that although I can’t stay in bed this morning, I will at least dream of beautiful soft fabrics and cozy blankets. Soft pastels make these beds seem even more soft and comfy, and this is definitely something I can dream about on this Monday morning.

I really love to mix natural wood furniture with more modern pieces. I’ve now found some pieces that can give me a more natural look with a modern twist. The colours are soft and mute, while the style of these pieces are strong and definitely demand attention in the room. Enjoy!

I just discovered this amazing website, Bookhou.com! This site features artists, John Booth and Arounna Khounnoraj and their beautiful work. I LOVE their work so much I have to share them with you as our new fav designers in our ‘Designers to Watch’ monthly feature.
Both Booth and Khounnoraj specialize in natural handmade materials and small production pieces, and feature their many creative sides through textiles, art, letterpress, and woodwork. I seriously can’t find one piece in their collection that I don’t absolutely LOVE! All of their work is so beautiful and feels so pure, I just can’t get enough of it!
Booth and Khounnoraj opened a brick and mortar shop in Toronto in 2008. The shop looks amazing! Hope to make a trip up to Toronto some day soon!

I recently found these amazing photos of this fun and flirty home designed by Jonathan Berger in Brooklyn, NY. I love how he mixed and matched styles to create a one-of-a-kind space. His use of bright colours express his originality and amazing style! Berger found furniture everywhere, from Christies to eBay. His inspiring use of antique rugs next to zebra carpets, hot pink and blue fabrics, and eBay finds next to antique furnishings makes me want to redesign my home in this style.
My favorite room in this home is definitely the kitchen. It’s so light and bright, and it very unique! Berger used antiqued mirrored glass on the cabinets to create the illusion that the kitchen is bigger than it really is. Enjoy these beautiful photos!

I can’t wait to see what else Berger has in store for us in the future!

Loving black decor is so new for me! Living in a small beach house in Santa Barbara has always inspired me to decorate with very soft, light colours. I typically love light shades of white, grey, blue, and silver, but I am now falling for darker colours, particularly anything black! Maybe it is because I’m secretly dreaming of having a stylish apartment in San Francisco or New York City. I think that adding even just one black piece to your space can add a cool sophistication that demands attention! Here are some modern black pieces I have began to obsess over. Feel free to leave comments to help me find some more pieces to add to my wish list!
Chinese Chippendale Chair from Wisteria
Studio Tripod Floor Lamp from Z Gallerie
Hitchens Side Table from Jayson Home and Garden
Cubix Ottoman from Z Gallerie
Kali Console from Inside Avenue
