New Feature! 'Their Design Ethos' with Monaco Interiors

I wanted to start a new feature to share some of the fabulous bloggers I have been getting to know. I always love to see how others design their homes and what inspires them.

For the very first feature I want you all to meet the very lovely Sarah from Monaco Interiors.

Sarah hails from New England in the US but has lived in Montana, Los Angeles, London and Florida. She says in her profile that as a child, she was constantly rearranging her room, driving her mother crazy (this is something I can definately relate to!).

Sarah has been so kind to answer a few questions I threw at her so join in the conversation below, and please go and say hello at her gorgeous blog!

Thank you so much for asking me to participate in your new series, I am so excited as the Australian blogging community is so vibrant and my very first follower was Elizabeth Raptis from Ivy & Piper!! 

My Design Ethos in three words is tough one but here goes: Modern, Vintage and Natural - I definitely like to incorporate modern touches while using vintage accessories or furniture and like to include natural materials if possible.



Inspiration from blogs, Pinterest, designers, magazines and stores.

 

Target has some gorgeous new modern, graphic curtains in deep blue and cream; a good wicker chair I can spray paint and I'm always looking for a fabulous sisal rug, though I think I'm dreaming because I have two teenage stepsons and a cat, so I sometimes think, what is the point of getting something new??

 

My favorite room has to be the bedroom because it is turquoise and orange, a favorite color combination. I also painted two side tables a gorgeous pale blue and put Urban Walls up myself one Sunday so it looks like wallpaper behind the bed. I did get a new white lamp for the space and added a couple of Annechovie prints and natural lampshade. 

I have several designers whose spaces I would love to hire to design my home, but, this  by Donna Elle which was on the cover of Boston Home magazine recently blew me away - I am in love with this design.  My aesthetic seems to be changing as I get older and see more of what I don't like. I really love the white background with pops of color and natural touches...this is the home I would be thrilled to live in.

Sarah has a gorgeous blog so make sure you visit. Personally, I love Sarah's bold ikat pillows and pretty vignette, and that coffee table in her designer inspiration - stunning!

Thanks for dropping by Sarah!
