A potpourri of modern but cozy interiors

I've put together a little collection here of some interiors that I thought were modern, but still felt like home. They are peaceful, light-filled, and lovely. What do you think?



I like the shelf above the bed

a nice, bright work space

very french chic with an industrial twist


the rug is a bit much for me, but I like that this room isn't over-staged.

Check out the contest I'm co-judging

A few months back I was invited to judge a contest for Ergorapido and Electrolux fans' homes. One of the coolest parts of this contest is that there is a winner every week, entries are from all over the world, feature every decorating style, and every room.

The contest is part of the promotion for the design award winning "Ergorapido" vacuum. Let me tell you - it's pretty swanky looking, and the company has a great rep. I picked the magenta one. It's gorgeous but I can't test it out until I get an adapter because it's a European plug!

The vacuum.

Here are some of my favorite entries so far.
