Rachel Bilson's Los Angeles Home

Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen have created quite the love nest. Their aesthetic is very different from mine but I can definitely pull bits of inspiration from their eclectic and colorful space. Now, can they just get married already!?

Gisele Bündchen & Tom Brady's Los Angeles House

Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady's Los Angeles home is a stunner. The garden itself is enough to make me jealous (they grow their own produce) let alone the gorgeous house. My favorite parts: its spaciousness, all the natural light, the loggia, the ceiling beams, and of course Gisele's closet. I'm guessing this house will be taking Pinterest by storm in no time.

Covetable Coffee Table Books

The quickest way to freshen up a living space, a corner of a room, or a bedside table is to pick up a new coffee table book. Coffee table books complete any and every living space and are, in my opinion, one of the most interesting collections to have. My collection is complete with coffee table books about fashion, photography, art, interior design, architecture, cooking, travel, and iconic figures. I am always growing my collection (I just snatched up Great Houses of the South & 100 Unforgettable Dresses) and expanding it to flow along with my evolving taste. Below are a few of the coffee table books I'm currently coveting... I must complete my Gypset set (I already have Gypset Style)!

P.S. a coffee table book hunting hint: if you see a book in a store you must have, first check the Amazon price because it is usually cheaper!

Beautiful Brentwood

I am heading to Los Angeles in a few days so I wanted to share these photographs of the beautiful house in Brentwood that was featured on the cover of House Beautiful's July/August 2011 issue. Everything about the space is simply divine from the floral front door to the perfect contrast of white and rich dark wood seen throughout the whole house to the colorful patterns displayed on the comfy porch.
