Designer House Tour : Emily Henson

Sometimes I get this little itch when I walk into my house and I think to myself- ugh I'm bored of this room! What can I dooo? Shortly thereafter my first stop on the web is the site Apartment Therapy. It's an ongoing catalogue of the personal spaces of creative decor enthusiasts alike. The cool part is, they feature homes in LA so you may recognize a few of your neighbors on there! Although this particular home we'll be touring today isn't in my neighborhood (I wish- it's in Highland Park) I absolutely love everything about it. Emily Henson's 702 sq ft. home is cozy and absolutely adorable... Prepare to fall in love...

I just love how all of her little personal treasures come together in ths kitchen. Isn't that lamp so cool? Looks like some pictures strung all around the fixture to create a focal point for the space... P.S. I totally have a chalkboard in my room- but I'm tempted to put one in my kitchen now too- you get so much use out of it! Also love how she rehupolstered all the seating- gives these old items a fresh new look.

Wonderful how she makes use of every little bit of wall space in her home. A shelf with hooks is just as good as any coat closet! The light drapes and walls also make the space feel much more open- even if there are shelves and pictures everywhere.

Don't you love her office space? I've never seen such pretty clutter :)

Lucky kid...

That green right there... yeah, that bathtub green, is my second favorite color. I have never seen it not match with any other color you pair with it. Even hot pink- as you can see in this space. (All pictures from Apartment Therapy.)
