While I sort through my 200 some pictures from the weekend and attempt to create a cohesive post out of it (promise it will not contain 200 pictures), I'd thought I'd share Emily Henderson's bedroom which I came across today on Apartment Therapy because I almost weeped it was so pretty.
I think it's the bedside lamps that are killing me the most. Killing me softly with their awesomeness.
I'm EXACTLY like this when I look at them:

I was aware of Emily Henderson I suppose when she won the whole HGTV 'Design Star' thing but only via other blogs as they didn't show it here in the UK. But slowly, the more I see her work, the more I really like her style. It's quirky, eclectic, lots of vintage stuff thrown in there but mostly, I see it as accessible. And that's important to me. Because I can look at someone like Kelly Wreastler's style for an age and yet, none of it feels like something I could or would do in my own home - mostly because the pieces she chooses are so far out of my price range, even a lottery win probably wouldn't cover it. But with Emily, it's different. She's like your best gal pal who just has freaking amazing luck at the local thrift shops, ya know?
(I totally want her to be my best gal pal. I reckon her cat Bearcat would be best friends with Pablo as well. IT COULD TOTALLY HAPPEN.)
Here's more of that amazing bedroom.
Note the brass animal above!! IT'S DESTINY.
OH MY GOD, LOOK, SHE'S GOT LEGS ON HER CHEST OF DRAWERS!! WHAT IS WITH THAT?? I LOVE IT!! SEE WHAT I MEAN??? Dear god, I need to calm down.
So what do you think of Emily's style? Love it or loathe it?
you are def gay for emily. the chick in the painting over her bed looks like JLO so i'm trying not to be distracted by that!the pink is fabulous, and that stripey blanket is awesome.
ReplyDeletesmiles to you.

I have to agree with you I'm loving the bedside lamps and the legs on the chest are amazing
ReplyDeleteYou need to be reading her blog and following her on Instagram. Not only is she talented, but girlfriend is funny too. You'll love her.
ReplyDeleteOh I do I do read her blog!! I love her, she's awesome!! :) I'm so behind this week though, haven't looked at it for probably nearly 2 weeks but I did see the bedside table styling video she'd done with the lamp - I just didn't notice she had TWO of them and how gorgeous the whole thing looked as a finished article until I saw the article on AT. See? As I said BRAIN DEAD this week. I probably should have mentioned that! I read Orlando's blog too because he's just hilarious as well.

I've been following Emily's blog for a while now and I LOVE her--and her style, of course. Ever since I saw her post those pink hanging lamps, I've been envisioning finding (or making?) something like that for my bedroom. She's a genius at color schemes and mixing styles too.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I mentioned your blog in my last post, btw. :)
Hi Kim, I absolutely LOVE Emily Hendersons style and I LOVE reading her blog because she just seems so down to earth and fun. I will often have a bit of giggle when I read her posts as she's so funny. Thanks for sharing her bedroom, it's so cool. It was lovely to see you at Meet the Blogger weekend and I hope you've recovered from it all! :) xD
ReplyDeleteI'm still not recovered Doris!! lol But it was lovely meeting you as well, loved the event! And yes, Emily is rather awesome, total girl crush here :) xxx
DeleteI've always thought that if I ever gave my house over to a designer to make over, it would be to Emily Henderson. She and her style have the wit, charm and eclecticism that I love. My hero too!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Loving your new blog look! xxx
Hi Kimberly, first off love the new blog design! The gold is so glam and so you. Secondly, I love Emily Henderson; did you know I've met her and she's even cuter in person. I've also entered her nighstand competition, so if you wanna throw a vote my way ;) I'm not expecting to win coz I only have 16 votes but I can't resist a good contes.
ReplyDeleteI too love Emily and Orlando and follow both of their blogs. I love how Emily seems to effortlessly mix high and low, new and vintage, color and neutral, glam and natural. When she did the blog post about styling the nightstand, I totally knew she was going with option 1, which was the pink lamps. So her! Her style is definitely more boho than mine overall, but I love what she does. Her rooms always look pulled together, yet attainable. Rooms that Kelly Wearstler and Mary McDonald design are amazing, of course, but they're so out of my league that I can't relate. Wouldn't you love to shop with Emily? Or flea with Emily? Yes, please. Gotta love her quirkiness too ... both in her designs and in her own personality! And I love to read about Bearcat, of course. Her other cat must not be as outgoing, because she rarely talks about him!
ReplyDeleteI love looking at her style - it's not ALWAYS "me," but I'm always inspired by it. Do you follow her blog?
ReplyDeleteIt's a LOVE from me, these images are gooooorgeous. Would not say no to anything with brass, velvet and hot pink... In fact I'm actually drooling over that wingback chair, oooh and the floor lamp - YUM!
ReplyDeleteThose pink lamps are mighty fabulous.
