The Friday Five: Vaulted Ceilings

May 23, 2015 | 1 Commentary

Okay…I’m a day late with this post…but hopefully the gorgeous interiors I’m featuring today will make everyone forget the fact that today’s Saturday.

I was planning on writing a post featuring stunning beach houses, but then I got distracted by vaulted ceilings and exposed beams. Check out the homes below and you’ll understand why my post plan altered.

Aren’t these spaces gorgeous? The high ceilings make them so breezy.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

The Friday Five: My Mom’s Favourite Blogs

May 8, 2015 | 4 Commentaries

How long does it take for something to become a tradition? For the last two years, my mom has shared her top blogs/websites with White Cabana readers on the Friday before Mother’s Day. She’s ready to take over the blog again today. I’d say that this has now turned into a traditional post, wouldn’t you?

When I asked my mom for her top five blogs, she obviously could not resist expanding her list to her top six. Such a classic Italian mom – always filling your plate with more!

Here they are, in no particular order:

1. The Enchanted Home

4. Preppy Empty Nester

5. Summer in Newport

6. Jenny Steffens Hobick

Happy Mother’s Day, Mom! Thanks for sharing your reads with us!

I wish you all a wonderful weekend!

The Friday Five: Marble Herringbone Tiles in the Bathroom

April 24, 2015 | 1 Commentary

I’ve been making progress on my foyer tiles. After quite a bit of thought, I ended up with my first choice: herringbone. I’m making good progress, and so far I’m loving the look. Since I’m doing this project on my own, I’m going pretty slow. I hope the foyer will be completely finished in a week or two.

In the meantime, let’s have a look at how marble herringbone looks in these gorgeous bathrooms.

The Friday Five: Designer Stripes

Phew – another full week of work, blogging, school, and snow. Hope you all had a wonderful and productive week! Today I’ve got stripes on the brain. And I’m not referring to the conventional painted or wallpaper stripes. The stripes that appear in these five photos are of a completely different variety.

Interiors: Some Spaces I’m Currently Loving

December 29, 2014 | Leave a Reply

My Pinterest boards are completely overflowing with goodness. There are so many beautiful interiors out in the world and there are so many spaces that I’d move right on in to. Here are just a few spaces that I’m currently loving:

In this space, I like the black and white art, the fancy crown moulding, and the easy breezy couch:

In this kitchen, I like the perfectly tiled wall, the white wood floor, and the very sleek vent hood:

In this bathroom, I like the marble shower (we all know I love marble). I think we’re going to be seeing a lot more patterned tile floors in 2015, and this is a sleek marble herringbone version.

In this dining room, I like the irregular shape of the wood table and the cozy sheepskin fur throws on the eiffel chairs.
