We are nuts for modern designs, especially ones that are warm and livable. Here are some eye candies on modern designs for you today....
PS Did you notice how home accessories make all the difference in making it look warm and cozy?
Happy Friday!
Just want to share some beautiful images from our favorite phographer, Emily Gilbert. We love the soft & pretty designs of the rooms and how crisply she captures them...

We're obsessed with this room today. It has tons of personality. It's cheerful. It's fun. It's the kind of room you want to cozy up in with the morning papers and a latte..
We stumbled accross Fu Tung Chen's work a few years back and we're still in love. Known for exquisite concrete design, his work has such an elegance and refined quality to it.
Here are some samples of his portfolio...
Did you see the spread in last month Elle Decor on Ralph Lauren? His place is to die for, seriously.
Ralph Lauren has been around for so long. We remember saving up for a set of his paisley bedsheets in the 80S! His style evolves a bit, but not much. We suppose that's why they call it classic, right?
Here are some pictures from Elle Decor in case you haven't seen them.
We would like to make a little announcement today. A few months back we announced the launch of Digging Decor, which originally was conceived as a design blog.
As the months went by, we decided the better approach was to re-design it as a decorating community site, with the focus on decorating photos.
If you're anything like us, you rather look at the pictures than read the text, right? The goal for the site is to be the largest library of decorating photos, all well-indexed and well-categorized for easy searching with proper credit given to the original source.
We hate to toot our own horn, but the site is quite lovely and quite sleek. In addition to having tons of pictures, you can also join the community to ask fellow members questions like-- how to do this, where to find what etc. You can also post your own blog, upload picture of your favorite room, and get updated on deals and designed-related events.
We would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it if you come visit the site, and better yet, be a part of our community and submit your favorite decorating photos. Thanks in advance!
Mediterranean houses are big here in California. The problem is many of them are done terribly. Quite often you see these large, sometime huge, faux Mediterranean tract homes with matching furniture set, heavy draping, granite counter tops--and once you see one house you see them all. They all look the same!
You only have to watch Real Housewives of Orange County to know what we're talking about.
So we were so happy to stumble upon a beautiful house in Santa Monica while browsing for real estate (just for fun, mind you). Here is a great Mediteranean home that's done right. See how the furniture is light, nothing is matchy matchy, and the colors are so fun and bright?

We had a dinner party the other day and we found that everyone just gravitated toward the kitchen, and stayed there! If you think about it, the kitchen is probably one of the most used rooms in the house. Well, in our house anyway.
Since we're feeling lazy this week, we thought we just lift material from other sources and show you some amazing kitchen designs. Hope you'll enjoy them!
