Swoon Interiors

interiors that make your heart skip a beat.

I’m hooked …

I was flipping through the latest Anthropologie catalog the other day and something about these hooks made me smile.

My first thought was that they’d be super cute above a fireplace in a lower level family room or rec room … especially if the wall was painted a deep brown color. You could do kind of a whimsical, family friendly version of this:

They’d also be great lined up on a wall of a mudroom … the perfect place to hang light jackets or (empty!) backpacks.

Then I saw this picture of Sheryl Crow’s bedroom in Architectural Digest …

Hmmm … clustered over a bed, especially in kid’s room, would be really fun.  Again, I like the contrast of the white against a really dark wall. Perhaps navy blue?

On a completely different note, do you have your DVR’s set to tape Emily Henderson’s new show, Secrets of a Stylist on HGTV Saturday night? (8 pm central time) I do! For obvious reasons, I love the idea of this show and I was so happy she won The Next Design Star. She shows people how to layer different styles in their home which is something I totally believe in.

 She also does a great job of finding really unique pieces from a variety of places to fit her clients personalities.  I love to watch her shop!

Even though I’m excited for the show, I’m even more excited to spend Saturday night with my dearest college friends … so I’ll be taping it and hopefully watching it on Sunday afternoon with a mug of hot chocolate … or maybe a glass of vino!
Hope you all have a great weekend!
