Megan Mullally's earthy eclectic home

Posted by Mr Wong at 9:31 AM 0

I was surprised when I saw Megan Mullally's house tour in a recent issue of Elle Decor. I guess because I only know her as Karen on Will and Grace, I didn't think her personal style would be so laid back because she's so good at playing a rich NYC elitist.

What do you think?

so spa like
Possibly one of my favorite kitchens. It's so real for a Hollywood star isn't it?

An intriguing and whimsical housetour

Posted by Mr Wong at 11:42 AM 0

I'm leaving for my big trip tomorrow - 9 weeks in 11 different countries. I'm freaking out a little -feeling just completely overwhelmed. I'm going to try to post as often as possible - depending on our hotel(s) internet situation - as I'm not bringing my laptop- yikes! I'm already suffering from phantom laptop syndrome. I know I should be posting something traveling related - but I'm just a little too scatter-brained to put anything together - so I'm going with a tried and true house tour.

This home is really different from anything else I've seen before. I think for the most part it somehow manages to avoid being over the top though. What do you think? Too quirky for you?



great wall color!

Have to say I love the unpretentious, down-to-earth style that is Ellen Pompeo's Hollywood home.

Insired living rooms, from eclectic to retro

Posted by Mr Wong at 9:59 AM 0

Sorry I've been M.I.A you guys, I was traveling to Spain, where I'll be visiting with my boyfriend for a month until we leave on a nine week backpacking trip around Europe. I'll fill you in with more details later - so stay tuned!

For today I thought I'd just grace Decorology with some really great living rooms. Let me know which one is your fav!

Love this modern retro/industrial look. The carpet keeps it cozy.

Skona Hem always gets it right!

Don't you love this eclectic look? It's so warm and full of personality.

So glamorous but the exposed brick ads a nice edge to keep it from being to frou-frou

Love the rug, chairs, and salon-style wall.

Beautiful, peaceful bedrooms

I'm heading "home" this afternoon after living out of a suitcase since Dec. 28th. It'll be great to sleep in a bed and not a couch or a cot. I have gotten used to traveling and will miss it a bit, but a little time off the road will hopefully be recuperative and prepare me for my next round of travels! So, I thought some gorgeous bedrooms would be appropriate for today's post!

a.
The natural light in this pastel bedroom is amazing

b.
This bedroom is maybe a little more modern than I like but the clean lines make me feel like I could sleep all day -

c.
I'm a fan of benches or chest at the end of beds - and isn't the headboard adorable?

d.
I'm really into sophisticated grays lately

e.
This is one of my favs - a modern retro bedroom with a twist of femininity and coziness.

h.
I'm a sucker for mix n' match bedding - it's just sometimes a lot easier "seen" than done.

i.
I love this sort of vintage elegant bedroom - it's so indulgent

Which bedroom would you pick this weekend if you could stay in any?

More homes from Espana

I promise all my posts from Spain won't be of Spain, but right now it's still fun to explore what they like and how they live- one of these homes is actually in South America. What do you think?

Love the high ceiling and the super dreamy bed.


Unfortunately this photo is the largest I could find - but if you look closely there are some really nice details.

All of the pictures above this caption are from the home in the photo above - which you can rent for a season. It is in Punta del Este - in Uruguay.

These photos are from the magazine Casa Diez - their aesthetic reminds me a lot of Ideal Home.

Eclectic autumn inspiration

Posted by Mr Wong at 12:48 PM 0

It will not stop raining here. I'm trying to make the most of it because I have trouble sitting at my desk when the weather is nice. However, I'm also without internet until Monday so I'm having to spend the day at a cafe - which would've made me suuupppperrr productive if I'd managed to leave the house before 3pm! Ugh...what I wouldn't give to be a morning person. I work so much better when it's dark out and after 9pm - it gets frustrating. Anyway, I digress. Here are some beauties for you!

The blue of this bedspread is just stunning. And I actually like it with the light blue bed frame and wallpaper.

I adore this kitchen. That wide plank island table is TDF - and the styling is lovely too with all the flowers.



I've always like round tables with stacks of books

Interior photographer portfolio - a light and airy treat

This is the portfolio of Maree Homer. I love the blend of country, modern, down-to-earth lived-inness (prob. not a real word) that these homes capture. One day when I finally stop moving once a year I hope to achieve such a comforting home.
