Everyday Glam In The Fabulous Home of Kyla Herbes

Shall we kick off the week with a little glam, glam with a hipster touch? I’m talking about the wonderful Chicago home of Kyla Herbes. Kyla has a soft spot for pink (girl after my own heart) – and loves to team it with gold for a touch of everyday glam. I’ve been following Kyla’s blog House of Hipsters for a while, and it always makes me laugh (Kyla’s a writing queen – she even scooped up the Amara blog prize for ‘best written blog’). But the main reason I nip in is to swoon over her decor which she describes as “just being different”. The living space combines vintage, art deco, contemporary and the odd mid-century piece, and it totally works! Ready to put a smile on your face this Monday? Here goes…

Love the fabulous Crane Fonda coral wallpaper inside Kyla’s hallway guest closet – such a perfect idea! Suddenly made me think of the fact that my children can never close the cupboard door in our hallway and it drives me insane. But perhaps if I lined it with some funky wallpaper…. hmmm. Could you imagine doing this too?!

One of the things I love about Kyla’s homes is that there is just so much to look at. You can look through these pictures countless times and still spot something unique.

Shelving from South Loop Loft, armchair picked up at The Savoy Flea, this leather pouf* is similar.

Perfect way to jazz up a tiny guest bathroom: the Party Animal wallpaper by House of Hackney!

Aaaaah, I love this. It makes me want to go a little more out there (starting with our downstairs loo!). How about you?

I also love that Pelle chandelier*, I’m thinking it could go over my kitchen breakfast bar (although I’m afraid this only seems too be available in the US – is that right?).

Did you get any ideas for your home?

Have a fabulous start to the week – I hope the sun is shining where you are too!
