I Want That Room! {2.08}

I just love the home office of designer Emily Ruddo. Last summer, High Gloss magazine did a spread on her beautiful home, and this was my favorite room in the house. I love the vibrant blue color on the walls, although I'm sure it might be too bright for some tastes. The contrast between the blue and the fuscia/pink chevron rug is wonderful. Everything else is comparatively understated. A couple of colorful throw pillows on the couch, a desk chair that coordinates with the rug, a plain white desk, and a collection of framed prints on the wall.

Personally, I love a couple of brightly colored rooms in a house. In my house, most of the rooms are neutrals, except for one turquoise blue room and one painted cranberry red. The thing I love most about this office is that it would be fairly easy to emulate the look. Sometimes, designer rooms look amazing and beautiful, but they are extremely hard to do in your own home. Not so with this office. I'm off to look for some colorful rugs now.

I Want That Room! {2.01}

This week, I'm dreaming of this feminine Parisian-chic bathroom. I love that this bathroom is girly and elegant, without being too frilly or stuffy. Can you imagine sitting in that tub underneath a skylight with the light linen canopy all around? The wood carving and gold details make the room opulent, while the furry rug keeps it fun. And not to fixate on the tub, but don't you love how it's made for lounging?

 

I Want That Room! {1.25}

This is the second installment of my new "I Want That Room" series. This week, I am drooling over this stairwell:

 

I don't know if this is exactly a stairwell, but I don't know what else to call it. Whatever it is, I'm loving it. The curving staircase is so grand, especially with the glass globe finials. I love all the different greens from the carpet, wallpaper, ottoman, and even the trees outside. The pattern on the wallpaper and curtains is so pretty, and it goes perfectly with the damask ottoman. The ornate mirror is really impressive, although I'm not sure if I'm crazy about the eagles or whatever they are. And even though it doesn't stand out very much, I love the chevron wood floors. I can just imagine how gorgeous this place must look in real life, when the light shines through that enormous window.

I'm thinking of doing a new series of posts entitled, "I Want That Room!" Because there are just so many gorgeous rooms I see in magazines, Pinterest, and other blogs...but I can't seem to find a way to put them together cohesively into posts.

So without further ado, this is the room I want this week.

 

I mean, come on. There are so many ways this room is perfect. Not only are there enough shelves to accommodate most, if not all, of my books, but they are COLOR-CODED! Seeing this picture makes my organization-obsessed heart beat a little faster. Plus the couch looks really comfortable, and it's topped off by an adorable little dog. 

How perfect is that?
