While surfing the internet this past weekend I was in awe of these four rooms. They all manage to merge several styles of decor into one space. I think it's more effective when you can have, for instance, a farmhouse look that also includes a modern mid century something or other. Enjoy the view of these inspired spaces…
1. This kitchen found on Cote Maison is a wonderful merging of colonial, modern and somewhat industrial bones.
2. The intimate shot of the headboard, found on Design For Life, shows how you can have a Renaissance style headboard upholstered with a very modern textile fabric. Placed between two very modern nightstands and some mid century-esque lamps — this space is quite eclectic but inviting.
3. This vignette of the bedroom wall, found on Notes On Design, was very effectively decorated. In my opinion the use of the string lights, fun gold mirror and the globe as a lamp, are all very pleasing against an all white wall and floor.
4. The office I found on The Decorista is so awesome. I love that long wooden table and the white exposed brick. Also bringing in the gold chandelier was a great statement piece to this room.

The rooms are gorgeous.
My concern with the first room is the wall of windows that looks out to other parts of the building (apartments?) aslo with huge windows. If you walked down to the kitchen in raggy old night clothes or a robe, you'd be in a fish bowl.
My office building is across a small plaza from an apartment building (expensive one, too). The residents don't realize that during the day, the sun hits just right and we can see in all those apartments without the shades drawn. No big deal, but you wouldn't believe what people do in clear view of those windows. I've had change the set up of my office so my back is to the window. Even when you don't mean to look in, you glance across and see what you wish you hadn't.
The ability to have privacy is a good thing at times.
The kitchen in #1 makes me sigh...
@Terry - My fantasy, is that that's the courtyard of a private home!
@Barb - That would be fabulous, wouldn't it? Lots of windows, some lovely scenery (forest, lake or ocean, pretty cityscape) out one side of the building if not more.
#1 is a total dream. @barb & @terry... stop, you're making me swoon at work. it's embarrassing.
#1 for sure. It's the light.
Love all four. Absolutely gorgeous, and they all illustrate your point well in their own way. Thanks for sharing!
I love every one of these. #4 especially does it for me.
Gorgeous wall colour in the first picture. Looks like an Emery et Cie colour...
