Today, we're heading off to the West Coast. Specifically, the Pacific Northwest. I'm particularly excited about this one as it just so happens that my boyfriend & I will be new PNW residents starting this Summer - in Seattle! Big news...
But, this is not about me. It's about Shelley, and her stunning La Grande, Oregon home that she shares with her husband, Ian.
Her home is a perfect blend of neutral elements, metallics, textiles, and just enough color to keep things interesting.
“My style is definitely a mix of mid-century/Scandinavian/bohemian. It took a long time to find my style and it has definitely evolved over the years. I grew up in Los Angeles and always loved the mid-century home designs. I love the simplicity of clean lines, but also love color. ”
Another element that is clearly a 'must have' for Shelley is greenery. She absolutely nails that interior green thumb, and plants of all kinds - including a StyleMutt favorite: the snake plant - can be spotted all over her home.
Another 'must have?'
“When we purchased our house, a ‘must-have’ was a formal dining room. I love hosting dinners and holiday events at out house.”
Another lovely element in Shelley's home is the perfectly-styled bedrooms. As someone currently living in a cramped basement city apartment in DC, I am totally envious of the extra room. Her master is #goals to me. I have similar pieces - the black mid-century modern lamps, the classic white bedding, and the indigo pillow - and she brings those elements together perfectly.
And then, there's the most precious room of all.
“In our nursery, I love the dresser and the plant corner. I am a big sucker for West Elm dressers. I am always willing to splurge on rugs. I think they can really make or break a room design and can completely change the feel of the room. ”
Shelley, you better believe I'll be channeling you once we have our new Seattle pad to decorate. Thank you for the inspiration!
