Cool Idea: A Paint Can Stool
I just noticed this paint can stool in a home on Light Locations, and am completely smitten. Not only is this DIY furniture a great way to repurpose an old paint can (although you know you can recycle them), but it's also just downright cute. I love how this one was upholstered with vintage-looking fabric; it's like a really artsy mushroom.
Coveted Crib: Lovely and Light Near London
Sometimes we get so caught up with trendy accessories and of-the-moment palettes that we forget to consider the feel of the homes we're creating. It's no secret that all-white rooms have a relaxing effect. But throw natural materials, well-loved hardwood floors, worn upholstery, and a collection of vintage and antique accessories and furnishings into the mix, and what you have is a home that's not concerned with the latest and greatest, but is simply content as is.
Love It or Hate It? A Wall of Mismatched Mirrors
In this very eclectic living room, which I think belongs to photographer Debi Treloar, one wall is adorned with an arrangement of mismatched ornate gold mirrors in varying shapes and sizes.

Coveted Crib: Calm and Restrained in London
Decorating is not like getting dressed.

Coveted Crib: Midcentury Neutrals in Camden
This lovely light-filled house in Camden, England is heavy on the midcentury furnishings, but its neutral and soft blue palette and Georgian architectural details prevent it from looking like a tear sheet from a 1950s shelter pub. Fabulous natural light, a living room and bathroom opening out to a balcony, and a roll-top tub are some of my most coveted features, but I'll take a Barcelona and a Swan chair any day. To take a tour of the pad, check out this slideshow.
