The Coveteur just does not stop inspiring, hence a second homage to the site that photographs fashion big-timers' most treasured possessions. (SHWING! MAJOR EYE CANDY ALERT!) Check out my first post here.
This time, the inspiration comes by way of former Fashionista-ista and current ELLE.com Style News Editor Britt Aboutaleb, who, like me, appears to have obsessions with striped shirts, leopard accents and chunky rhinestone jewelry, as well as the chutzpah to paint a wall hot pink.
Here are some inspiring home decorating clues from today's photo montage of Britt's New York space:
use a vintage suitcase as storage for magazine tear-outs and photographs.
extra points for leaving it open to display your favorite flats.
dare to splash your walls with hot pink.
(or fuchsia, orange, or yellow for that matter.)
display muted vintage photographs on said hot pink wall.
upholster a salvaged chair with an old striped tee.
take it a step further and paint the rest of chair your favorite color.
frame a collage of treasured invitations, shopping bags, etc.
strive to maintain a general color scheme, mood or theme.
Also, be sure to check out The Coveteur's tumblr for a behind-the-scenes look at their creative process and a more complete view of their subjects' homes.
Peace, Love and Neon,
Marisa
