Feminine delicates...

This space {the London loft of Rachel Ashwell} is utterly feminine, delicate, and just one lovely glimpse from the latest issue of Lonny.

The rumpled bed, especially, makes me swoon because of this previous post {from February 24, 2010}.

The allure of an unmade bed...

Rachel Ashwell was recently featured in the UK edition of Elle Decor. Ashwell has created a realm of Shabby Chic products, books, and stores; her most recent book, Shabby Chic Interiors, is brimming with feminine inspiration.

Elle Decor featured this bedroom as the epitome of guest bedrooms - polished, comfortable, charismatic, and welcoming. Ashwell advocates for the 'unmade' bed, proposing the worth of a bed is revealed when rumpled and still refined. This particular philosophy is intriguing, mainly because I never make my bed.

Sprawling home therapy...

Today I had the pleasure of meeting Charlotta Ward of Space for Inspiration.  There are so very many lovely things there, I had to steal {at least} one.

Originally featured on Apartment Therapy, this home in Laurel Canyon, California has little vignettes of perfection.  Here are my favorite shots of this sun-drenched space.

The walls in the dining room are alluring.

A crisp and fresh boudoir.

And the backyard I have always dreamed of {add a sprinkle of mason jar lanterns and I am in heaven}.

{My endless gratitude for the mention on Space for Inspiration.}
