Sarah Jessica's Bright and Lovely Hampton's Home

It was very important to Sarah Jessica and hubby Matthew Broderick for their Hampton's home to be comfortable, and free of fuss. The house was originally featured in Elle Decoration UK - but it's also in Elle Decor's book, So Chic, so I'm not 100% positive... Her friend, Eric Hughes helped her achieve a relaxed abode by mixing antiques with thrift store finds and pieces from IKEA with custom-designed furniture.

...so? Do you like what you see?

A light-filled, inspirational apartment - and it's real! No designer, no professional photographer!

I was checking out the new Style Room (still in Beta), and discovered this lovely, lovely flat in Oxford. It's rented, and decorated on the cheap (amen for Ikea), but that doesn't take away from it's undeniable charm!

My fav. look - a predominately white foundation with bright accents...

Love the lucite side table..

What a lovely sunny spot to work



Plants are the best aren't they? Too bad I live ground level and get no light!

This place is pretty small looking I'm guessing, based on the multi-purpose dining room/home office - but it's pulled off really well!



look guys...real homes have power chords...who'd a thunk?

From my library - small space living

I thought I'd share from you some of my favorite images from one of the very first interior design books I ever purchased. It's always fun to look back!

I love these wooden floors - and the fireplace!



charming - and checkout the blue floor!


It would require a lot of tidying - but I really like the glass front pantry. Check out the mix n' match table and chairs.

I liking the look of art leaning against the wall more and more. I also really like the fuchsia carpet and the retrained fireplace decor.

I love old houses - and when a renovation includes old architectural elements I don't mind "newness" so much.

A really good way to divide spaces in a studio - this solid screen acts as a wall/headboard.

A romantic treehouse retreat...

Super small, super stylish apartment

It's also in one of my favorite cities, San Francisco - like NYC - but cleaner, friendlier, and with nicer weather!
I really like this little home office space. I tend to prefer a "table" over a traditional desk. I love having a lot of surface space...and give me drawers and I some how manage to fill them with things that should really be in the garbage...

hmmm...I don't know how I feel about projectors..or sitting like that through a movie for that matter. Does anyone have a projector? How do you like it?

I love all the modular bookcases

...kitchen is a little sterile?

The closet is 15' long, I would've liked to see it in all it's grandeur.

Ok, her apparel....explanation please...

...a great place to drive stick ;)

Pretty homes just for the sake of prettiness!

Because it's Monday, it's dreary out, and why not?


Love the couch and salon-style wall in the kitchen - a nice surprise.
