Dramatic Comfort: Unlike a Unicorn, it Exists!

March 29, 2017 · In: Art, Books, Eat, Fashion, Interior Design, Kitchen, Travel

Dramatic Comfort :: House of Valentina
Dramatic Comfort.  It sounds more like a unicorn than a thing that actually exists, but it does!  I find that a lot of us struggle to mix metals and textures.  We are scared of what the outcome will be so we play it safe and use one material throughout… which inevitably leaves us feeling unsatisfied and we can’t quite put our finger on why.

Fur and leather, bronze and chrome, distressed wood and metal, linen and velvet… the combinations are endless and they all create a dramatic comfort that is compelling and delicious… especially if the combination is healthy chia and chocolate…

Comment FALL to get the links! (& find more inspo!) 

Guys!! I’m so happy right now I’m about to cry! The cuteness factor is off the charts!! I’m so excited to see our vision for our fall porch come together complete with pumpkins from the pumpkin patch!! 

And can we talk about Louis in his adorable fall sweater?! And the wreaths (they are faux!!!) and the lanterns and the flickering pumpkins?!!! 

If you could die from cuteness overload I’d be a goner! Hahaha but thankfully it looks like I’ll be holding on for a few more days and greeting our kids as they come home for fall here and it won’t be long and this will be getting a little Halloween overlay for trick or treaters! 

To me, these are the greatest moments of life. Creating a home that says “welcome home!” I hope in our own little way we can inspire you as well! As always, sending so much love from our home to yours! XxV
