Yesterday I posted a compilation of images of Claire and Phil Dunphy’s house from Modern Family, and today I’m posting images of Cameron and Mitchell’s. Their house is accented with green tones and Asian-style furnishings. It’s decidedly more masculine than the Dunphy’s (with the exception of Lily’s room), and with a more world-traveled elegance.

I’m attracted to their wall art, particularly all the black-and-white pieces!

We love Modern Family. It’s one of the few shows that consistently makes both my husband and I laugh out loud. And though I never mention it while we’re watching, I also love what’s happening in the background. You know, the inanimate objects, the paint colors—everything related to the house sets.

All of the interiors are distinctive, because, as production designer Richard Berg put it, “You need to be able to tell whose house you are in at a glance” (Los Angeles Times). So Claire and Phil Dunphy’s house is accented with blue tones, stripes, and florals and is the most “catalog” of the three, with furnishings actually purchased from Crate&Barrel and Pottery Barn, as well as budget-friendly stores like HomeGoods and Pier 1 Imports.

So here it is, the home of Claire and Phil Dunphy, with images from Architectural Digest, L.A. Times, and HookedOnHouses.Net.

Seriously? Seriously??!

Yes, seriously. Thank you to Anthropologie for making my Friday. (Or breaking it, if you consider the fact that I’m crying over this thing of beauty.)

Also, this confirms for me that photographic prints are one of the best trends of 2012.

As of today I’ve officially made it through five months of my shopping diet. Hard to believe, not because it’s such a great accomplishment but because I still have seven months left. Are you kidding me? SEVEN more months? I feel like this has been going on for an eternity already!

Although I admit I feel like I cheated. A friend of mine hosted a clothing sale last week, and another friend noticed that I was coveting a pair of jeans and bought them for me. Isn’t that just too generous?! And then another friend sold me one of her brand-new Victoria’s Secret bras (buying undergarments and socks are acceptable if necessary) and then she threw in a dress for free (which is the item I really wanted). So now I have a new pair of jeans and a new dress and I’m feeling a bit guilty about it. Guilty, and giddy. Ha… ha?

Anyway, I may not be shopping, but I’m still gleaning plenty of late-winter style inspiration from my favorite retailers, like Kate Spade:

And J.Crew:

And Anthropologie:

There’s plenty of drooling happening over here.

Icy, pale blue is my absolute favorite color (probably because it’s so clean), and my absolute favorite way to use it is with a hot pop of color in the red or orange family. Just like Leslie Klotz did in her bedroom:

Hellooo, heaven.

Oh, and besides the color pop, Klotz was smart to use woven shades and a walnut nightstand—they warm up a very cool color on the walls.

This is the one instance I can think of, at least in recent years, when a trend began in home décor and then infiltrated fashion. Zebra print may be coming up in fashion, but it’s been staying up in home.

I’ve been compiling images of zebra print décor over the past several months, from Adore Home, High Gloss, and Lonny, as well as retailers Horchow and West Elm. It’s amazing how widespread this trend is! And how incredibly versatile. See for yourself.

Zebra print wall-to-wall carpeting:

Zebra print pillows:

Zebra print furnishings:

And last but not least, zebra print rugs—some real, some fake, some cartoony:

So if you’re trying to figure out how to add a dose of retro glamour to your room without sacrificing edginess, I hope these photos inspire you to consider zebra!

Hm. I’ve seen this color combination before. First here, then here, and now right here:

I think I might really like this color palette.

I have a particular fondness for birch trees. The backyard of my childhood home was full of them, like a cute-little birch-tree colony. If I ever move back home (it’s possible! We’re not planning to live on the Mediterranean forever!), I love the idea of working them into our décor. It doesn’t have to be literal, of course, but it could be. Like with this wallpaper, designed by Steve Abrams.

It may not look like much in 2-D, but take a look at it when applied to a rustic-chic room. You only see hints of it because of the limited wall space, but even when it’s just a hint, the illustrated, birch-tree texture takes the room from handsome to titillating (don’t you love that word?).

And check this out—even if you’re too timid for wallpaper, you’re not out of luck! Kristen Dougherty sells original birch-tree paintings on her Etsy page, and they evoke that same simple, graphic, and rustic elegance of the birch tree colony outside my childhood window.

It (almost) makes me want to pack up my things and head west!

Sick today. So I’ll just say how much I love this photo of Kirsten Dunst in Lucky magazine.

I’ll take everything she’s wearing! With a longer hemline.

When I came across this pale pink living room in Lonny, I leaned in close to my laptop. It was kind of a “What? Where?! WHO?!!” moment: Is it a beach house? A city apartment?! What am I looking at??!

Well, it is a city apartment. On Manhattan’s Upper East Side and designed by Celerie Kemble. Of course. It had to be her! Her rooms are some of the most visually arresting I’ve ever seen. In this space, even her subtle palette of sand, ecru, pale pink, and black is exactly that—totally arresting.

If you’re anything like me, you’re curious to see how a statement-making room spills into other spaces. So here it is, spilled over into the dining room.

And spilled over into the front entryway (which is a total surprise yet still fits with the décor).

The part-city, part-beach, Art Deco feeling of this apartment makes me want to pull out a record player. If I had a record player, that is.
