The Art of Home Making

I know we all remember Olatz Schnabel's gorgeous watery blue bedroom and the amazing mix of textiles and art adorning the space. Well, here's a peek at the rest of her beautiful, wonderfully eclectic SoHo home. It's romantic and old-fashioned and yet, still completely comfortable in a 21st century kind of way.

Mona Hajj Interiors

What a mix! Traditional American furnishings combined with amazing exotic textiles and fabulous art. Oh, and of course, there's also the architecture. See more of Mona Hajj's beautiful work, here.

Designer AND Family Friendly

This beautiful home has it all. Pets. Check. Kids. Check. Designer flair. Double check. Just goes to show that creating a warm, inviting, family-friendly home with boatloads of style is in no way mutually exclusive. All of this should come as no surprise as this lovely place is inhabited by one half of the talented team behind AND GEORGE. This mother and daughter duo are not only shopkeepers, but have a terrific blog. Be sure to pay them a visit and prepare to be inspired. AND GEORGE is synonymous with Southern charm.

I wonder...

why my disheveled bed looks like a mess every morning, while this tussled, snow white cloud looks sexy and inviting? Hmmm...
