So did you all read the new issue of
Rue that came out yesterday, with a special focus on small spaces? You did? Oh, good.
So can we discuss 1. how flippin' adorable and lady-fied
Danielle Moss' home is? and 2. how great it is having such talented friends like
Bailey and Danielle, that when their homes get published, I get to be the one who helps style and fluff up the spaces so they're photo-ready for their grand debuts? It's awesome. Believe me I know this.
Ok, first, let's get the
Pinning out of the way. Go on... get at it. You know you want to.
I'm sure it comes as no surprise that my inherently chic friend gave me a near perfect canvas to work off of; it was easy-pie working with the gold and girly accessories she had strewn about, adding flowers here and there (most of which came from
Jayson Home and Garden - an excellent source if you're styling in the Chicago area!), arranging books and candles, and of course - adding my token green apples and a few other favorites to the space. How fantasmic are the
wired shelves in her kitchen?! After arranging, rearranging, and rearranging some more, I think we settled on a near perfect mix of kitchen accessories, displayed
just right. Notice the "Yours" and "Mine" chalkboard cruets? Cute, right? Yeah, I thought so.
And sidenote: if anyone is in the market for a knock-your-socks-off scented candle, the
Archipelago Black Forest candle is just what you need. Seriously. Don't bother looking anywhere else.
Oh, and did you see the name of the Danielle's feature?
The Everygirl. How apropos?
Always a good day when my name is spelled correctly!
I LOVE the feature, Danielle's home is gorgeous and the styling is perfection. Especially the wire shelving, that is my favorite (mini Pellegrinos-so cute!).
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! That is so exciting; what a lovely space. You styled it beautifully. :)
ReplyDeleteThis feature is breathtaking- your styling of her home is perfect & I will definitely be using this as inspiration for my new place!
ReplyDeleteThe feature was amazing! And your styling is always more than perfect! It gives the pictures that extra wow factor.
ReplyDeleteAside from completely loving the *entire* space, when I saw those amazing wire kitchen shelves and how they were beautifully styled I thought to myself, "Bravo, Alaina, bravo!" :)
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS! I loved the feature in Rue. You did a great job styling!
ReplyDeleteYou Absolutely KILLED it!!! Come to my home puh-lease!!!!

I can spell your name!
ReplyDeleteThank you for all your help with these lovely finishing touches. You are the BEST. My place wouldn't have been photo ready without you and I was kind of a mess. Definitely needed you there to keep me grounded. So nervous...for nothing. Story of my life.

Danielle's apartment is to die for and you did such a great job styling, as always! I think I need to learn some of your tricks. I took a ton of photos of my apartment over the weekend (some are on my blog today) but I think they're missing that extra something. Maybe it's the green apples ;) ? Then again, an amateur photoshoot for my brand new blog doesn't quite warrant a trip to Jayson in the same way as a rue feature.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on some great styling, and what a beautiful home! Just came across your blog via Pinterest - will definitely be popping by again :)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely ADORED her feature, I could easily live in that apartment, so so pretty!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! Danielle's apartment is so pretty, and so was the styling!! Fantastic job Alaina!! :)
ReplyDeleteSo lovely! I love the duvet cover...headed over to check out the rest!
ReplyDeleteI cracked up where you said get to pinning. I was just about to get to it when I read it...oh well.
ReplyDeleteGood job and beautiful job too.
