Best of MI...its ALL WHITE...
Good morning! I thought I would share another post from quite long ago...from July 2011 highlighting a favorite piece from Lonny magazine. Its a beautiful home and I always love a white space. What are you doing this last week before Christmas? Are you done with all your shopping? I'm not!!
***********************************************************************
I got my digital issue of Lonny a few days ago and these photos stopped me in my tracks...so dramatic, so cool and so WHITE. I love white with color, but this is just insanely gorgeous and difficult to do. I went to a show house in Maine about 3 years ago and saw a white room and bathroom in person and I couldn't believe how seriously beautiful it looked. I particularly love the use of photos/wallpaper - it looks so dreamy - would you use this effect?
That wood bottomed coffee table is great ...
I love the mix of furniture here too...
Well that wall covering is just amazing...Jarlath apparently uses real photographs and transforms then into wallpaper - !!
Are you in a white mood too? maybe because its summer, I feel like I love 'lighter' design or maybe that's the direction I'm headed...do you decorate with a lot of white? For more inspiration go here -

When vintage is in...
Not much you can say about this lovely room other than, its GORGEOUS! I love the all white look, its no secret. Nice balance of design and texture - wood, crystal, linen, metal and wicker. The faux fireplace is a great focal point. This is just perfect, don't you think?

WOW! This is new...INC bedding collection
I found some GREAT bedding at Macy's and didn't realize that the clothing design company 'INC' has created a new home bedding collection. This collection called 'Bloom' is particularly sophisticated- I couldn't find other pictures except these two. What do you think? Will you buy these for a client or your own home?
 |
| I love the mix of white with the colors and the black and white - very elegant |
 |
| A night view still looks great and the furry pillow adds texture - (images Macys.com) These look fresh and modern to me, and gives a designer lots of options to mix colors. Have a great day! Please visit my PINTEREST BOARDS for more inspiration. I am available for VirtualDecor from anywhere in the world. Please contact me at monacointeriors76@yahoo.com. |

Top 8 living rooms...
How is your weekend going? I spent the day yesterday out in the New Jersey countryside, yes, New Jersey has fabulous country, at the Far Hills Race Meeting. It is a steeplechase horse racing event on grass for charity and didn't disappoint. Lots of tailgate parties, tweed, wellies and wine to go with it. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

Mauve walls, leggy French furniture, gold

I LOVE French and Swedish furniture
in this type of room - it always looks
beautiful and adds 'legs' -
See any similarities? I do - lots of white, animal
accessories, gold accents, natural elements,
pops of color, symmetry in some of the rooms;
my favorite room has mauve walls, but I could
see them with a soft white as well - this room is perfect to
me. The crystal, the gold and the furniture are
just wonderful; I only wish I could see the front of
the sofa!! I have studied this room ad nauseam and I never
tire of it. Great design should never be tiresome, it
should always be inspiring.
With that said, I am available for e-design from anywhere
in the world - please visit my 'Services' page for information-
I am flexible as well, depending upon the project or work
needed.
Do you have a favorite room from this list? Please let
me know which one and why in the comments below!

Best of MI...Dreaming of white...
Hello bloggers! Its been ages and I do apologize, but I seem to have lost my 'mojo' - and I'm having trouble getting it back. So please bear with me while I try to sort it out...bringing you a post from 2011 about white and it features one of my faves, Swedish design. How are you all doing? Any plans for the fall?
Also, if anyone needs interior styling assistance, please contact me -monacointeriors76@yahoo.com -
thanks -

FROM JULY 2011
I can't shake it...these white interiors are not just speaking to me, they are shouting! Rather dramatic, but I wanted to make the point. I think because it is summer, it is easy to love white and I will have something special I just got to show you later in the week. For now, feast the eyes on these fabulous photos of Swedish apartments courtesy of my blogging friend Tiina at Elce Stockholm - it's no secret that the Scandinavian style is so sought after as you can see -
I love all of these and this last photo is a Windsor Smith design - I think what I really love about white is that it allows other colors to 'pop' and really shine in a space. For more Swedish design, visit Tiina here. I hope you are all having a great week!!

6 details to recreate Saturday's kitchen...
If you loved the kitchen I posted yesterday and were thinking about how to recreate the look, I have gathered images from Pinterest. This is a timeless and classic look for a kitchen:and I would try to include the following six (6) details:
Kohler's fabulous Vault undermount sink 33x22
Kohler's sleek Bellera faucet in Vibrant Stainless
Why not add an AGA stove?? Perfect!!
Sleek white floors are a must like these...
White counters keep it clean and simple...
Ironstone dishes make the perfect addition to this kitchen
I love an all white kitchen and more clients are doing this
instead of colors and finishes in bronze or brushed
gold. White with chrome will never look dated and
the vibrant stainless will make it classic as well.
Thanks for stopping by!
Happy Sunday!!

Saturday in the kitchen...
Good morning! Its a gorgeous day here in Maine and I will be going for a walk soon. I'm in the mood to look at a Swedish influenced kitchen design how about you? I love the white floors, subway tile and simple counters. The pale gray paint lends a certain sophistication as well. The light fixture, checkered floor and framed photos in the background in black and white add some depth. I could live here, could you? I hope you have some great plans today!

Best of MI...White + white = gorgeous
How are you all doing? I am in a new environment and have been terribly remiss in not posting at all recently. I have been so busy, but don't want to completely neglect my little blog. I feel like I have put so much time into it and have met so many wonderful people online - I only wish it was a small source of income. Did I just write that? Well, you know, hours and hours and hours online with no tangible payment. My life was turned upside down last year and I have been putting back the pieces of my new life without my beloved Scooter, who unfortunately finished his journey with me in December. So, I continue to forge ahead and concentrate on the new horizon. I am keeping my head up and my eye on the ball - have a great rest of the week friends!! Thank you for visiting me, I appreciate your support.

What's not to love about...WHITE?
For any skeptics out there who are hesitant about using white in design, here are some examples to prove just how versatile and truly neutral white is. White will make any color pop, white can add texture and add sheer chic to any design. I love looking at these, I find it very calming and soothing as well - great to come home to after a busy day of work. What do you love or dislike about white? Would you design around an all white room?
Shabby chic
Swedish
Blue and white
White chic
Rustic chic
Furry chic
Texture chic
Which if your favorite? You can follow my Pinterest board

Enjoy the day!
Please visit my shop and see if there is a gift idea
you might not have thought about before -

Dear design diary...whites + neutrals + Scooter...
Hello blogland! My posts are sporadic because I am dealing with a very sick cat right now and it is taking a toll emotionally. Scooter has diabetes along with thyroid issues and had pancreatitis last week, which he is still barely recovering from. I have to give him subcutaneous fluids nightly along with a litany of medicines - its not pretty, so I am taking it one day at a time. He is 17 years old now and I can't tell you how truly difficult this is for me. I have already thought he was a goner twice now, though he showed improvement, but now seems to be on a downswing. I will be honest, it is really stretching me financially, but I wouldn't think twice about getting him proper care.
So its Sunday now, and I started writing this yesterday. We had a very bad night, I won't go into detail, but I have a call in to a doctor and am waiting for her to call me back to discuss the situation.
I can't really focus on the blog right now but wanted to highlight fabulous design inspiration from Pinterest - once you start pinning, you can't stop. I particularly love all the white and neutral photos, so much that I created this category. I am also obsessed with all the fashion on Pinterest and find it has given me good ideas to apply to my own rather boring wardrobe. Do you find this to be the case too? What is your favorite category?
Enjoy!

If you are so inclined, please say a little prayer for my valiant little Scooter,
fighting for his life right now - he is very strong and stubborn.
Have a great Sunday -
