Timeless Inspiration

Finding that perfect piece of furniture to fit your space isn't always as easy as it seems. Luckily there are plenty of timeless iconic pieces that have been making statements and creating inspiration over the years.

This chic colorful armchair adds a little hint of playful to a room but keeps the glamour alive! Perfect for small spaces where you are looking for a little more seating but you don't want it to just blend into the wall!

Looking for something a little more rustic and original? This coffee table would definitely be the talk of the room and pull together your room for a finished touch. The gorgeous wood taps into the traditional design but the wheels keep it modern and almost give it an industrial feel!

Going for a rich luxurious look? A desk like this would make anyone feel like a professional! I love the sleek look of the drawers and the rounded edges of the legs. It screams elegance!

If comfort is more you style then sit back and relax in this gorgeous simple armchair. This seat may not steal the scene in your room but it will definitely be a favorite among many! 

All of these pieces have been acclaimed iconic design and will be timeless additions to your home. You  might even consider them a piece of art! Each of these pieces have been found via Infurn who is known for providing great classic pieces of furniture at affordable prices.

Charming chairs chosen for form and function

Finding the perfect chair may not seem as easy as picking from modern or traditional! I love chairs not only for there intended function but because of the cool sculptural quality some of them have. There are some seriously unique designs coming out of the wood works to make your space one of a kind.

Instead of decorating your room and adding chairs in, think twice about using your chairs for the decorative pieces. These tall gorgeous chairs are a VIP in what makes this room so gorgeous...

If you are using it in a small space and don't want the chair to be overwhelming, choosing a piece that has cut-outs or isn't one big solid block won't add too much visual weight, and won't clutter up the appearance of space. This wire chair also looks pretty interesting too... Finding unique chairs isn't always easy, but taking the time to search through the right stores can help you find that perfect piece. Of course, chairs can be pricey, but more and more manufacturers are making nice options that allow you to buy more than one!

Looking for something to go with a piece you already have but not blend in? This curvy chair matches the same theme of wood with black sleek lines but it definitely stands out on it's own making it feel unique and gorgeous.

Maybe comfort is more your thing. You can find a really comfy chair that doesn't scream granddad's recliner. This one of a kind looks super cozy but is also really chic.  I could definitely get a lot of work done in that chair - and stay warm too!

If you are looking to mix and match, finding similar color or height chairs is a great way to keep the look of the room cohesive but still let your good eye for style and love of chair design shine.

Opinions please! What do you think of these chairs?

I do like these chairs - I just don't know how I'd integrate them. I bet they'd look good in an all white interior though with accents of bright color. What do you think?

Segovia and Castle Alcazar

Here are some pictures of the sites I've seen in Segovia so far!

Pictures of the famous castle here, Alcazar, taken by Chris. If it looks familiar it's because people speculate it served as inspiration for Walt Disney world!

The doorway to the master bedroom!

The gorgeous castle chapel ceiling.


This chair was beautiful - a simple structure, but the detail was ornate.

At one point the castle was an artillery school - these were some jars on display, I believe they hold materials of some sort.

Some of the original wall in the castle.

The famous aqueduct - it's been immaculately restored - and absolutely no mortar was used in it's construction.

A cultural festival took place this weekend.



I just thought these were cute.

A sample of beautiful rooms from 2008

I'm sure like most of you, I cannot believe it is 2009! It feels like just last month I decided to start up Decorology, but time does fly when you're having fun. I thought I'd wrap up 2008 and welcome 2009 with a selection of rooms from this past year- some familiar, some maybe not so familiar.
All of these images I pulled from my flickr photostream. Enjoy!
