House Tour: Guest Room and More

It’s Friday, and that means it’s the final day of my home tour! Today I’m featuring the upstairs hallway/landing and the guest room. I hope you’ve enjoyed getting a glimpse inside my home. Thanks so much for checking it out, and a special thanks again to my friend Laura for taking the wonderful photos!

House Tour: The Rest of Downstairs

This may sound weird, but I think my favorite space in my house is the downstairs hallway/entryway. A lot of my favorite items are here, and I think this space represents my style better than any other room. Colorful, eclectic, modern, filled with art, and a touch of mid-century and Chinoiserie style.

I also really love the downstairs powder room. It has great little built-in shelves that are the perfect spot to display my collection of French and Italian knick-knacks. About half of them are souvenirs from my trips abroad and the other half are gift from my mom.

Hello friends! I am super excited to finally do an official house tour! After the Ink Magazine photo shoot a couple weeks ago I asked my friend Laura to come out and take some pictures; I think you’ll agree that she did a really great job. Enjoy!

Add This to the Bucket List

Did you know you can rent chateaus (castles) in France?! Like big, fairytale looking ones. I stumbled across the site simplychateau.com yesterday and I am hooked. The prices aren’t unreasonable either. For example, the Chateau de Marie in the Champagne region sleeps 32 people and only costs about $30 per person per night!! Who wants to join me in pretending to be French royalty for a week?!
