Megan Mullally's Home

My favorite feature in the latest issue of Elle Decor, is that of Megan Mullally's (Karen Walker!) Hollywood home. A quick look:

In the dining room, I love the idea of using Suzani panels to add interest and color to the walls.

I love that the accessories bring in fun punches of color in the living room...

...and in the breakfast room. When the room is otherwise pretty neutral it doesn't take a lot to make a high impact.

In the bedroom I love the simplicity of the decor...

...the floor-to-ceiling windows (and the gorgeous light they bring in!) make the room.

Last but not least, her pups are so incredibly adorable! I wonder if they go to a local LA dog park...I think they'd get along with Little Foot :-)

Home Tour: Leah Balderson

Canadian House and Home's latest issue featured five "small and smart spaces", my favorite of which was this glamorous little condo. It's home to Leah Balderson, owner of a Peridot, a decorative homewares store, and was decorated with the help of Tamara Wouters.

The neutral palette is soothing and allows the home to feel spacious and uncluttered. The bleached floors are a casual element that give it a bit of a beachy vibe.

This home is un-apologetically feminine and glamorous. There are a lot of beautiful details like the glass leaf chandelier and the gold louis chairs upholstered in script fabric.

The bedspread looks incredibly plush and the bedframe has such beautiful ornate detail.

The mosaic bust, decorative pillows, and gold Morroccan light fixture add sparkle. The light placed underneath the unique nail-head nightstand creates a warm glow.
