I tend to lean toward neutral when it comes to interiors. I like to add an accent of color in the accessories, art, pillows and sometimes rugs, but for the main pieces that will stay with you for years I always go with something neutral. I love the simplicity of the black, gray, white and brown palette in Nina Holst’s living room. If you get tired with this look you can easily change the art and pillows up for a few hundred dollars and have a completely different look the next season.
Get the look:
1. Black and Brass Antwerp Floor Lamp / 2. Black and White Spotted Pillow / 3. San Francisco Terrain topography map artwork / 4. Club Grey Sofa / 5. Eva Dove Pillow / 6. Cream Three Part Pillow /7. Axle Accent Table / 8. Tan Moroccan Leather Pouf / 9. Ivan Rug / 10. Zebra by Faye Moorhouse / 11. Small White Kidney Table / 12. Ribbed Globe Vase

If you follow me on instagram you get to see pieces of my home here and there. Lately I’ve been focusing on my space a lot more than before because I’d really like to get it done sometime in the near future. However, when major pieces of furniture (ahem a couch and dining room table & chairs) need replacing, and you have have an entire wall of built in bookshelves and lots of wallspace (a bit rare in a big city), it takes a lot of work, time, and yes money, to get my place to where I want it to be. Hence why it’s taken me so long. But I thought I’d share a few new pieces in my home with you today. I’ve gotten some things up on the walls that I’m in love with, and I am so excited to really pull it all together (hopefully within the next few months!). I did share a few shots of the lighting around my place which I’m obsessed with.
These gazelle horns top the gallery wall in my office. They add the perfect touch of dimension to an otherwise flat wall of frames.
This silver barnacle sculpture on a crystal base immediately caught my eye while shopping on Clayton Gray Home. It’s different than the other sea-inspired home decor objects I’ve seen on the market and I fell in love with it. It’s really stunning and shiny in person. I love the texture and reflection it adds to my space.
I love artist Gretchen Kelly’s one minute pose works. They are affordable original works (not prints) that have her signature style. She has tons to choose from! You can make an entire gallery wall out of her work! (I actually featured two of her other works in this Gallery Wall post.)
What do you think, do you like my direction?

Inspired by this gorgeous Danish dining room of Hanne Berzant, designer and owner of City North. (See the entire home tour on Femina.) I am a HUGE fan of monochromatic interiors so my jaw hit the floor when I came across this home tour. I thought I’d help you get the look — I’m dying for this dining room table and steer horns!
Rustic Modern Monochromatic Dining Room: steer horns / copper pendant / black table lamp / wool blanket / wood bowl / smoke vase / white quartz table / grand prix dining chair

A few weeks ago I went to the Las Vegas Market at the Las Vegas Design Center. It was my first time in Vegas in general, and at that market. It’s impossible to see everything at market, even if you are there every day it’s open — there is just so much to see! But I’ve got a few highlights to show you. I loved how all the buildings are all together. It makes it easy to get from one showroom to another quickly.
I was so excited I stumbled upon Saddleman’s of Santa Fe. I’ve been a fan of them for years and was so excited to look at at all of their amazing hides in person.
I was also really excited to see a display of Hillary Thomas finials. I even did a Vine of them!
