Wouldn't You Just Love To...

page through an old favorite book in this modern-cool meets collected-chic reading nook?

I know I would :)

Cozy and Colorful.

I was archiving my way though some old House Beautifuls and came across this cozy LA bungalow. I love the happy nature of the space, and also admire Moises Esquenazi's design philosophy.

He believes bigger isn't always better and that small spaces can in fact take a bold pop of color for both the walls and the fabrics.

Take a look at some images of his bungalow.

What a happy, energetic space, right?! I decided to check out more of his work and loved everything I saw. Color junkies- be prepared to swoon!

I think his use of color is so successful for two reasons; first, he employs pure, saturated colors that add a modern pop. Second, he uses one broad stroke of color, which also adds a modern and cohesive feel to his spaces.

Are you as bold with color? Or do you gravitate toward neutrals with smaller pops of bright color?
