Inside the fabulous home of fashion illustrator Megan Hess

Thanks to Adore Home Magazine for giving us a tour of fashion illustrator Megan Hess's very chic home! If you love all things Coco or Audrey, than you'll love this space.

 I try color coding my clothes, but it never lasts.

Love how her studio is white and bright but still elegant.

Too girly and glam for you, or would you take it??

Office eye candy!

I easily spend at least 12 hours a day in my home office.  So what it looks like matters....a lot.  Is it comfortable? Nope, I desperately need a new chair and a keyboard try.  Is it clean? Nope.  I still have unpacked boxes from our move two months ago.  Is it functional? Meh...

So, I'm gathering up inspiration so I can turn my home office into a space worthy of spending 90% of my waking hours in.

I'm a sucker for symmetry, and white.

A bit masculine for me, but I love the floor to ceiling bookshelves, and the large simple desk.

Love.

 Peach is one of those colors that I love when I see, but I have to see it to be convinced!  The above and two below are from a Baltimore's Stephanie Bradshaw Creative Studio

 If I had a refreshment area - especially a coffee maker - I'd never leave my office!

I adore this chandelier! Anyone know where I can find something like it?!?

I'm not a fan of white boards, but they don't look so bad here!

Lonny mag's Editor-In-Chief Michelle Adams's Upper West Side Apartment!

Cohesive, bright, and glamorous are three words I would use to describe Adams's 475 sq. ft. Manhattan apartment. She keeps her color palette of white, ivory, black, and hot pink consistent throughout, which allows her to play with sheen and texture to her heart's desire.

Love this buffet!

I'm such a sucker for vignettes! It really lets you get a close up and personal view of other people's lives.

 The giant convex mirror is a great way to open up the space.

Not to be missed: A feminine glamorous apartment in a historic art noveau building

This dream apartment belongs to decorator and TV presenter Ana Antunes, and is located in Chiado, Lisbon's fashion district. I feel like this apartment speaks to the girly girl in all of us who wants to feel luxurious and pampered in every room of your house. Tiffany blues, mirrored furnishings, pastels, and opulent decor are found throughout this stunning space.

The deep, tall windows in this room are to-die-for.

If you couldn't tell, Ana loves all things Tiffany blue.

I always try to use decor that has special meaning to me, just like Ana has showcased one of her mother's paintings here.

So true and so simple "Always believe your instincts and emotions.  If you love something a lot, stick with it because you won't get tired of it easily"

I've made the mistake of really liking something "of the moment."  Even though I might sincerely like the look, I don't always wait to see if I like it for an extended period, enough to make the commitment to it in my home.

Love all the artwork throughout her home.

What do you think of Ana''s home?

House Tour: The golden age of Hollywood, a glamor girl's dream...

Home feeling a little lackluster? This space by Sarah Gilbane should inspire some ideas for adding a little glam back in your home...

The glossy stripes on the wall add glitz, while the grasscloth on the ceiling warm the space up a bit...

The pendants are feminine, but not too girly

Some garden stools add a bit of Chinoiserie to the more restrained library space.

The bedroom's color palette is what really makes the room traditional Hollywood glam.  Pink, black, and white...what's more starlett than that?

Is this space too feminine and glamorous for you, or would you be right at home here? via Tradhome Mag

A great book for all my girly girls out there

The aptly titled "Hers," by Jacqueline deMontravel is a treasure trove of inspiration and ideas to feminize your space, no matter what your style.   The book starts off with the "queen" of all feminine rooms, the bedroom.  The bedroom section was definitely may favorite, and helps you narrow down colors, details, fabrics, and layering.

I love this bedroom, and the balance between masculine and feminine. I'm also crazy about the delicate lace trimmed sheet paired with the chocolate brown coverlet. Perfect.

Like I said before, this book isn't just about glitzy glam rooms.  It doesn't matter what your style, you can still apply the suggested methods.

The bedroom section was my favorite, but the book also covers other rooms in other chapters, like home offices, outside spaces, creating your own personal space, accommodating guests, and accessorizing. 

If this book sounds like just the motivation you've been needing for your home, you can buy it online here.
