Feminine, glamorous, sweet & pretty - what our homes could look like if he didn't hate pink

Don't get me wrong - I wouldn't trade my man for the world, but sometimes...don't you just want to paint your bedroom pale pink? Or drink your tea out of a gold rimmed cup and saucer everyday? Well, those of us who have to consider the men in our homes when making design choices can live vicariously through these ladies who have the freedom to make their homes as feminine as they like. I swear I can smell the perfume emanating from some of these. Enjoy!


I LOVE LOVE LOVE this bedroom. Isn't the bed amazing?!? It's from the loft of lingerie designer Jessie Zinkie, who's decorating philosophy is that "...of course, everything must be soft and comfortable."

What a sumptuous office chair...who thought an office chair could be sumptuous?

So, turns out a man does share this bed with Jolene. God bless him - I love symmetrical nightstands - but I don't think Chris would tolerate me being so anal for one minute.



Isn't this pretty and sweet mint green bedroom just the epitome of femininity? I had a mint green bedroom at one point and I found the color to be very soothing.


What do you think? Is your home as feminine as you like it or do you have to tone it down for your man?

Chic, Glamorous, Gorgeous - Don't miss these two houses

Keeping up with a blog on a daily basis is tough. But when I see pics like these - along with the amazing and kind feedback I get from readers - it keeps me motivated! Enjoy!

These images below feature the handiwork of Lee Kleinhelter from Pieces

GREAT headboard

Some must-reads from Lee

I like the contrast of the sleek white console and the rough natural texture of the cork lamps

Eames and Hermes - you can't go wrong with two timeless classics. Notice how she painted the trim a slightly darker white than the walls?



The home below is from a Lonny Mag staff member, Ellie Somerville

Great wallpaper! Great Rothko too :)





A good use of space here- Ellie made a home office in her bedroom. The desk can also double as a nightstand.

Chic and glamorous - but not too over the top. A designers portfolio

I get tons of emails introducing the work of designers, but I am super glad I took the time to check out Rachel Reider's portfolio. Her work is chic and glamorous, but it's not so over the top that it's impossible to believe anyone lives there. I also like her use of neutrals paired with bright accents.



I normally don't feature children's rooms, but I really liked this one

*swoon* great staircase and entry


I ADORE this dining room. The cozy arrangement, the elegant fireplace





What do you think?

Elegant, clean design embodied in this Hampton home

I have a really pretty house tour here for you. It's the home of NYC decorator Timothy Whealon and is chic without being fussy. What do you think?

I like ottomans as tables

I like all the white with the plant prints

A clear piece of furniture, like this table, is a great option for a small room because it doesn't take up so much "visual" space.

The checked floor is actually painted wood!



I really like the wall treatment going on at the staircase, which is Phillip Jeffries raffia, the two stools are nice too...
