it’s all in the details.
i was checking out rachel ashwell’s shabby chic website for some new bedding ideas, and discovered she has a really great inspirational photo gallery. one gallery is dedicated to the little details, and i just loved some of these beautiful images. gorgeous decor does come down to the attention to the little details, and i think these images are just lovely.

down by the seashore.
one of my very favorite places on earth is martha’s vineyard, a relatively small and woodsy island off the north eastern coast. i love taking the ferry there and renting a bicycle for the week and just cruising into town and to the beaches, and generally just loafing and basking in the sunshine, or napping in the cool fog. martha’s vineyard is almost a bit like being at a lake house – it’s got that east coast vibe with woods and seagrass, much different than the california coastline, but equally as stunning. it’s just, for me, a bit more cozy and calm.
i’ve rented some pretty cute seaside cottages there, so today, i though a make-believe journey to the vineyard would be a nice escape. imagine a lazy day at the beach, followed by a nice outdoor shower, a nap on fresh clean white sheets and ending the evening with a lobster dinner with a nice chardonnay. ready? set? let’s go.

professor plum in the drawing room.
i loved playing ‘clue’ as a kid. definitely an all-time favorite board game. and when i saw some of these interiors that’s what came to mind, ‘professor plum in the drawing room, with the candlestick!’. i do hope to goodness you know what i’m talking about. anyhow, i digress. i really loved these rich, plum colored rooms. shades of pale purple, eggplant and mauve mixed with soft hues of gray, and pale green they make a very soothing, and yet bold and dramatic statement. take a look.

a room with a view.
tucked away in the isle of wight, is this dreamy little cottage, complete with a veranda with view of the sea. ahhhh, can you imagine running away to hide out in this little place? after the hectic week i’ve had, i’m on my way there in my head as fast as my imagination can take me! discovered via light locations, this tiny summerhouse is secluded in a lush little setting beside a pond, with lilypads even! i’m off to dream — see you all tomorrow!

the house that jealousy built : the jealous curator.
ooh, i just had the most amazing dream! i was sleeping in a forest of wrought iron trees, green grass was growing in the place of a rug, and a pixelized wooden bird was perched on a nearby branch, whistling the pink panther theme song. hm, wait a second — that wasn’t a dream! it was the house that jealousy built – room no.3:
1) ah, the tree bed – it would be like sleeping in a fairytale {shawn lovell} 2) if you have a bed that looks like a forest, you really should have a grass ottoman {gh design} 3) ok, so it might be getting a bit too “meadow-ish” in here, but how was i supposed to choose between the ottoman and this diy knit grass rug? {craftzine.com} 4) Love, love, love this tangled-up nesty-looking pendant lamp {tom raffield}.
5) you really can’t have an outdoorsy, fairytale-esque bedroom without a bunch of birds perched on the antlers of a great big deer head {shawn smith} 6) – oh, and this sweet little colorful bird, both of which are made from many, many, many, many, many tiny wooden pixels, and a few very carefully chosen branches {also shawn smith}.
7) i love these more than i can even explain. owls, gazelles (i think those are gazelles?), and ducks all lovingly embroidered onto the magical masks of these lovely ladies {laura mckellar}.
– and for a little bedtime reading, a stack of “manipulated” books for your nightstand. 8) don’t feel like reading? no problem. just wind up your book and listen to the theme song from “the pink panther” as you settle in for the night {jennifer khoshbin} 9) now, if you have a bed with a nest built right in, you’re definitely going to need these! you may not be able to read them, but these bird book sculptures would be a stunning addition to anyone’s bed side table {su blackwell}!
well, good night. i hope you have a nice dream, and i’ll see you in two weeks with yet another room in “the house that jealousy built” xo, the jealous curator.
