My Second Love: dressing rooms and closets

Showing posts with label dressing rooms and closets. Show all posts

How delicious is this glossy dressing room? I would feel so fancy and smug if I had a fireplace in my dressing room. Like, when I'm talking to people and they're annoying me, all I would have to do is mentally transport myself to my dressing room and then I'd be all, "well I have a fireplace in my dressing room sooo..." and I would instantly be happy.

I have a fun Dream Lake House post I'm working on complete with dream inspiration and, yes, mood boards. I'm imagining lots of white glossy walls and of course blue and white everything. I'm excited to get it all in one post so I have it to look back on someday. In the meantime, enjoy some more glossy goodness from my archives.

Suzeday Tuesday: Dressing Rooms & Vanities

I was a very vain little child. I already shared how I cried the first time my mom did my make-up because I couldn't believe how beautiful I looked. She also used to get me to eat my vegetables by telling me they would make my hair curly and shiny or my cheeks rosy. I probably would have made a good pageant child.

Then I hit the awkward stage...hard ( I promise when I find a good pic I'll share it). Thank God I did, otherwise I wouldn't have developed my smarts and stellar personality. I would have just coasted on my beauty. The Suze and I both still love our make-up and products and pretty clothes. Soo here are The Suze's dressing room and vanity inspiration files.

How did I miss this?

Veranda

I just came across this dressing room by Windsor Smith and I can't stop looking at it. Much like the Robert Pattinson photo I have saved on my desktop (thank you Joni at Cote de Texas), I keep peeking at it. Like somehow if I stare at it enough, if I burn the image into my little, tiny, overstimulated-by-design brain, it will be mine ... the dressing room that is. I don't know why I'm so obsessed with it. I don't know why I'm obsessed with pre-haircut Justin Bieber either. I cannot count the number of design images I see in a day, and while I'm certainly not bored or jaded, I love when I come across something so delicious I want to eat it. I want to eat this dressing room.

Closet Envy

Hello Lovelies! I hope y'all had a lovely weekend!

First things first, Belclaire House is now on Facebook. So if you're on Facebook and you kinda like me, you should totally like me, if you know what I mean. I'll be posting more images that don't make it to the blog and other stuff like recipes, links and things I like. Here's a sneak peak of a pic I posted today:

Cuteness Overload

That's right. Baby rolls in pea coats and knee socks. You won't get that anywhere but here.

And now for today's inspiration. 'Tis the season to clean out the closets. I'm dreading it, but anybody who's been to my house in the last year will tell you it needs to happen. It's embarrassing how much we are bursting at the seams. It's like me in my pre-pregnancy jeans, which still do not fit by the way. Kourtney Kardashian made losing the baby weight look so much easier than it actually is.

Big & Carrie's Closet from Sex & The City 2

I loved the caption on this photo in the New York Daily News:

'One side of the closet is Carrie, and the other side is Big,' says production designer Jeremy Conway. 'What I love about that, of course, is that there’s not enough room for Carrie, so she has to come over to Big’s side a little bit.'

That is the issue we're having at our house, only our closet is a smidge smaller. And by smidge, I mean maybe 1/16th the size of that closet. When my husband bought our house (before we were married), he built this amazing large shower at the expense of some of the closet space (what is it with men and giant showers?). It didn't really become and issue until I moved in and now my shoes alone need their own room. Proper etiquette mandates that guest room closets be empty, but unfortunately at our house (and probably most people's) that is impossible. So as I sit in a sea of my own shoes and clothes as I attempt to clean out some closets this week, I will silently covet the many closets of Carrie Bradshaw and others like her.
