Interior With Meaning

Staying In...

This looks like an inviting weekend activity to me - yes I know I'm boring but after spending time away from my family this week, boring is great! Have a fabulous weekend - whatever you are doing! Tracey xx

Keeping It Simple!

Just thought I would share some images of what is inspiring me lately! All of the following rooms are from an appartment in NYC and are the work of the talented Piet Boon.

I just adore this simple understated style - you can see the quality in all the fixtures and furnishings. The black doors are a favourite with me.

Perfection!

I can't go past white slipcover lounges - maybe because they are so impractical for a mother of 3 boys!

What a fabulous idea to have these drawers under the window with the seating cushions in such a gorgeous blue.

White bed linen always looks so fresh and inviting!

So perfectly uncluttered and such a gorgeous blue for bathroom accessories. Hope these images inspire you all as much as they do me. Enjoy the rest of your week. Tracey xx

Wow, we made it to our 100th post! We would like to recognise all of you - our blogging friends and thank you for all of your support and encouragement along the way. We would never have imagined such a gorgeous, friendly community awaited us when we started so thankyou to everyone who stops by our blog and especially all who leave such lovely comments! Have a great weekend! BTW the above picture is in one of our recently styled properties and I just wanted to show the botanical prints that I framed for this project (not a great photo but I love the prints).

I never questioned that when I finally got my built in book cases that they would be white. There are so many gorgeous examples in the white (which I have posted on of course) but after seeing all these gorgeous black ones I'm really questioning my decision. I particularly like the examples of picture 1 and 2 with the wall sconce lights on the front - adorable. I will probably still go white but until the paint is bought I can always change my mind - its my perogative after all. Tracey xx

Viceroy Hotel

My husband & I have been planning a family trip to the US of A for some time and I have been looking for accomodation when I came across the very lovely Viceroy in Santa Monica, designed by the very talented Kelly Wearstler.

I absolutely love Hollywood Regency style. The Ivy in Sydney is very similar to the Viceroy with it's colour and style.

I think I will just have to go there for dinner! Just thought some of you may have been there and could share some stories of your experience.
