| I wanted to share the cool home of Lizzy Carnie, a designer with EuroTrash. EuroTrash in the brainchild of my best friend, Annie Brahler. Ok, Annie doesn’t know I exist, but I think she’s divine! Her home is my favorite house ever (to see why, check it out here). Anywho, Lizzy is a cutie-pie with a very hip 1,000 square foot home recently featured in Country Living. |  |
Express Yourself
September 25, 2009 By 2 Comments
I don’t usually agree with Madonna, but I do believe it is important to express yourself. Life is for living, and creative expression in your home can be amazingly comforting and fulfilling. Here are some ideas to spark your creativity:
| In a modern home, use color sparingly but boldly – like a field of color on one wall to draw the eye to an unexpected space. If you do this kind of color block technique, make sure you want to be accenting whatever you are accenting. In this picture from coccozy, they are actually TRYING to draw the eye to the flat screen television, but that isn’t usually the case. |  |
Euro Trash Girl – Annie Brahler
September 10, 2009 By 5 Comments
OK, I admit it. I’m kinda obsessed with Annie Brahler. I’ve been following her for the last couple of years. I’ve saved every picture from every magazine layout she’s ever had of her home – she’s been featured in two issues of Country Living, two issues of Home Companion (now defunct), and in Romantic Homes. I’m sure there have been more. Photos from this post are from those publications.
She lives in the most amazing home I have ever seen. Annie lives in Jacksonville, Illinois. Doesn’t sound like a terribly exciting place, but check out this unbelievable Beau Arts home!!! She lives here with her 3 perfect children, 2 perfect dogs, and presumably, her perfect husband. She certainly has a perfect lawn care guy.
