HOLIDAY + INSPIRED [MERRY & BRIGHT]

HOLIDAY + INSPIRED [MERRY & BRIGHT]

December 18th, 2015

Good morning readers + happy Friday! With such nice weather (knock on wood) it's hard to believe Christmas is already just a week away. With the busy hustle & bustle of the season, i'm sure many of you are finishing up some last minute decorating before your homes become chaotic + full of joy with the ones you love most. If you're still in need of finishing up your holiday decorating take a peak at some of our favorite + inspiring interiors & exteriors filled with holiday cheer.

Sometimes simpler is better. I love how just adding winter greenery to a room can instantly add a holiday touch without having to spend countless hours putting up tons of decorations.

Hanging wreaths throughout your home in front of windows, mirrors, or doors is one of my favorite simple + easy seasonal touches.

 

Plaid pillows + garland filled staircases + Hunter boots... these are a few of my favorite things!

 

Don't forget about the exterior of your home! First impressions make a lasting impact, so don't neglect your front porch + entry this holiday season. And with such unheard of warm weather for mid December in Minnesota, we really can't complain about putting the outside decorations up this year!

 

 

 Last, but certainly not least, the tree! From the sentimental items of your childhood to the sophisticated glitter filled ornaments, there are simply endless ways + approaches to decorating your tree. Here are two of my own trees I just finished decorating for the holiday season. In my mind, the more decorations, the better!

 

Do you decorate a little or a lot for the holidays?

This the season for parties galore! But with such great company, impeccable food, & wonderful memories who can complain? We're been busy at work, but have managed to find a little time to add some great new pieces to our office & host a colorful + laughter filled happy hour here for some of our great clients & friends. How fun is this fur ottoman from Tapis Décor? We can't get enough of it!
 

 

And these fabulous Pierre Frey pillows? They've been the perfect addition to any home + our office.

 

 

Of course a party is never complete without a great little party favor. These candles from the Zachary showroom here at IMS are absolutely wonderful & did the trick!
 

 

And the parties continue! One of our wonderful clients + friend was gracious enough to host this color filled party last week. How great did she do on her colorful tablescape?! So gorgeous!

 

 

 Tis the season for lots of gatherings with the ones you love + and an abundance of yummy delights!

PROJECT + REVEAL [MODERN KITCHEN REMODEL]

PROJECT + REVEAL [MODERN KITCHEN REMODEL]

December 14th, 2015

Happy Monday readers! We just got the proofs back from the photoshoot of our sleek + mod kitchen remodel we worked on with Sala Architects Inc., and boy are we excited share these images with you! Coming from a more dark, traditional existing kitchen; this remodel project was certainly a big change for our clients. Light wood floors & cabinetry + gorgeous marble everywhere created such an airy & inviting kitchen.
 

 

One of my favorite parts of this project is definitely the wrap around marble countertop on the island, it turned out fabulous!

 

That's a wrap! Stay tuned to see move project + reveals of upcoming projects!

HOLIDAY + INSPIRED [NOT YOUR MOTHERS THANKSGIVING TABLE]

HOLIDAY + INSPIRED [NOT YOUR MOTHERS THANKSGIVING TABLE]

November 20th, 2015

Happy Friday all! Thanksgiving is less then a week away and either you're hosting the big turkey feast or counting your blessings that its not your turn this year. Either way, I have some unique + festive ideas to inspire your tablescape this holiday season. Implementing a couple of these creative touches to your entertaining will have your guest thanking you for a fabulous meal + an enjoyable dining experience.

 

The fall colors are in full force, so you might as well embrace them! I love the variety of textures + colors in this beautiful table décor.

 

 

Every thanksgiving table needs a festive centerpiece, right? I love this grouping of gourds + foliage.

 

 

Make sure to incorporate different heights in your table décor with the use of shorter objects like small pumpkins + taller items like candles and foliage. This helps add visual interest and depth to your tablescape.

 

 

Where do I sign up to receive this Thanksgiving dinner invite?! Absolutely beautiful.

 

This tablescape is a great example of how you don't need to use the generic fall colors at your holiday gathering either.

 

 

Don't forget about the kids! By creating a designated place for the kids it's easy to keep an eye on all of them at one time! Plus - how great is this idea to put down paper as a tablecloth? This will (hopefully) keep the kids busy at their seats.

If you can't tell already, I love the little details that really add that special touch to the design of a room or a great dining experience. How great are these fitting fall place cards?

And of course I couldn't pick just one place card idea that I loved; so here is few more simple + super easy ideas that anybody can tackle this holiday season.

We are so extremely thankful for all of our wonderful clients + friends that allow us to do what we love each & every day. From all of us here at Robert Sidenberg, have a Happy [and turkey filled] Thanksgiving!

HOLIDAY + INSPIRED [HALLOWEEN]

HOLIDAY + INSPIRED [HALLOWEEN]

October 27th, 2015

 

Traditionally everything black and orange generally gets associated with Halloween, am I right? Well today I'm here to show you some of my favorite interiors + furnishings that incorporate these colors year round. Take a peak!

 

 

When it comes to black and white, you can't go wrong. I love these bold wallpapers and how they make such a great impact in the space vs. just painting the rooms.

 

Adding pops of color through accessories + details is a great way to add fun accent colors in an otherwise neutral space.

 

 

How crazy cool are these orange cabinet installations?!

 

  

Black painted cabinets are very popular right now, and you can clearly see why from this gorgeous kitchen! (One of our projects is currently getting a lovely black kitchen island, we can't wait to show you the end result!)

 

 

I love how laying different orange elements repetitively throughout these bedrooms was done so tastefully.

 

 

Big, bold, and beautiful... just the way we like it!

 

Orange can be an overpowering color in some homes, which is why I love the soft tangerine wallpaper in this breakfast nook. It adds color + personality to the space without being overbearing to the surrounding soft hues.

 

 

 Using patterned bathroom floor tiles is another big trend right now, and this bathroom does not disappoint! With the neutral and simple white subway wall tiles, the floor is a strong focal point that anchors the space.

 

 

 Here are some great furnishings we can't get enough of! How cool are these creative lamps from Arteriors?

 

 

This Niermann Weeks Diva Coffee Table is just gorgeous!

 

 

From all of us here at Robert Sidenberg, have a Spook-O-Rific Halloween!
