Bathroom Revamps

{source}

If you have ever visited my wonderful mid century modern home, you have witnessed the unique colors that are displayed in the tile and fixtures in both bathrooms... sulfer yellows and dessert rose. While appreciate the preservation of these bathrooms, I need my own style to shine through and bring a little "now" to these spaces. We have not really even discussed starting a renovation, however I need to start the process in my mind NOW, so that when we are ready to tackle on of these monsters, everything will be ready.

So Ive been doing some brainstorming on Pinterest and have found a few rooms that have inspired me to start researching fixtures and finishes. I want a space that of course has a modern flare, unique tile, clean and simple but still daring and different.

I LOVE how this mirror stretches the length of the small bathroom so that both Matt and I can see our selves even though only one can use the sink. Because lets face it... if you cant have 'his' and 'her' sinks.... the mirror is the next best thing!

For our bathroom, I am toying with the idea of just getting rid of the tub all together and in its place doing a walk in shower. Im loving the seamless flow of the floor tile right into the shower walls. Gorgeous use of color as well...so tranquil.

Or we could just build on and have this elaborate spa added on to our bedroom... no biggie: dreamin'

Im feelin blue...

...Tiffany Blue to be exact. I know I sound like a broken record...but Im back to my living room wall color once again. I have solved the enormous tv problem by using a warm teak vintage credenza to anchor that huge monstrosity. Next I moved my black bookshelf to the side of the Tv, which is close to the same height. Now I need some drama, some contrast, some Life! So Im thinking color... Im exploring a few different options but in this post Im sharing some great spaces adorned in Tiffany Blue Walls.

Keep in mind I have an entire window wall covered in a dark olive taupe, dark blue upholstery, Red womb chair, medium-warm case goods, and a oatmeal rug on a light parque floor. I think this tone of a blue would work great with the red and blue upholstery and provide the risky color Im flirting with. However....Thats a big commitment. 

But I mean, c'mon... Look at these drool worthy spaces:

Yum. So...What do YOU think?

Just another new obsession...

Sources: here, here, here, here, and here.

As some of you know I love white vases. Not so much milk glass, and defiantly not the "fru fru" type.... just simple, modern vases. I've started a little collection (read more about that here) and love finding new pieces to add to it. (I just hit the jackpot this Christmas... My mom added 4 to my stash!) Well don't get me wrong because Im definitely not moving on from my vase addiction but I have found another obsession that Im happy to add to my list. I love owls + I love white ceramic...so it makes perfect since why I would want to own every last one of these :) Just Kidding Matt! No Im not a hoarder, but I just love each one of these adorable little "chotchkies" and don't see how Ill ever narrow down the selections. I guess thats where the thrill of the hunt comes in!

Credenza Perfection

I am falling in love with credenzas, more and more everyday. My MCM addiction led me to them and now I can not stop pursuing them. I actually just purchased my very own and have it resting under our huge tv in the living room. (This has helped with the problem with the gigantic tv as the old stand was metal and glass which was too cold and lifeless, especialy paired with that tv. The warmth and character of the vintage wooden credenza has lended major improvements to the space.)

I love them natural, painted, or laquered. Preferably vintage, but some of the  newer ones Ive spotted at "the 'Land" are pretty sweet too. I think they work well in various spaces. They add weight and substance to interiors while providing storage and anchoring wall art, mirrors, and accessories.

Here are some of my faves Ive been spying...sources to come!

Dying for Dark Walls:

{source}

Maybe it was the years of living in white walled apartments during my college years, but now that I have my own house... all I want to do is PAINT! I love dynamic spaces and I feel that, as scary as it can be, dark walls can add so much intrigue with the contrast and depth it provides. It is a heavier look but it is also a cozier look.

{source}

While white can add contrast too, I feel that there is something about dark walls that brings a sense of wonder and an unexpected dramatic flair.

And adding a geometric print with satin on flat? OMG! Im drooling.

{source}

I have a few rooms dolled up in a warm dark gray already {which I LOVE}. My husband was hesitant at first, but after he saw the finished product... he couldn't stop complimenting the look. {He has now learned not to question my design ideas ;) }

{source}

I mean come on, how fabulous are these spaces?!

I really want to go deep blue or navy in my living room.

Color completes a space in my book.

Allow me to introduce myself

My name is Emily Davis Wilson. Im a designer {Interiors + Graphics}. I LOVE all things mid century modern. Vintage Furniture is quickly becoming my obsession. I love creating things { from announcements to spaces to desserts}. I love to get lost in blogs and be surrounded by creativity.

My happiness.

I married Matt in August 2010. Love him!

Here's Karmyn...She is 8 now!

And Mr.Levi is 7 months!!

Nora is my constant source of laughter.

And there's this guy...Lincoln. He's a big slobbery goof ball.

We just moved back (back for me, new for Matt) to TN in April 2013 and scored this amazing home. Follow along to see all my design dreams come to life in my blog posts here!

This "company" is not much of anything right now. Just a place to store my work of the past. But I hope one day it will be a thriving center for my creative endeavors!
