This stunning home from architect José Juan Rivera Río is located on the outskirts of the Mexico City sprawl. Built in 2014, the home takes its inspiration from the modernism of the 1960′s but puts its own beautiful modern twist on the style.

Located on the outskirts of Mexico City, in the Lomas de Chapultepec neighborhood (or colonia), the house is striking from all angles.

BHG is excited to be a part of Finding Home’s Finding Fall Home Tours again this year! Take a look at the tour from the beginning here!

Whether your style is more classic and traditional or modern and chic, take a look at these gorgeous fall homes!

Welcome friends and family into your home with personalized pumpkins. Pair with gourds and a rustic wheelbarrow or crate for flawless fall style.

Finding a fall color palette is as simple as going to the produce aisle at the grocery store. Soft greens, warm oranges, and robust reds make the amazing curb appeal of this home.

Long, ornamental grasses are perfect for creating handmade hanging pieces like this “Welcome Home” wreath.

Add a fresh twist to the traditional fall pumpkin by adding flowers and leaves to create a gorgeous display for all to see.

Bring nature indoors by adding the color of changing leaves to a neutral room. Whether you place them on a table, mantel, or shelf, they’re sure to be the eye-catching focal point of any room.

We absolutely love this eclectic living room! Natural building materials like wood and stone create a comfortable and earthy space.

Fall is the perfect time to pair bold colors and prints. Deep orange and pale blue blend together to create a cozy feel for this room.

Who knew miniature pumpkins and candlesticks would go together so perfectly? Elegant and fun, these cute additions are perfect for any room.

Decorating for fall can be as simple as placing a few gourds on a table in your entryway–we love the no-fuss approach to this fall style.

Wood tones, white and orange create a unique look that screams fall in this modern kitchen.

Decorative corn is a sure way to add a little fall into your home this season. Use them as a centerpiece, wall hanging or just placed here-and-there for a quick, simple fall fix.

Changing leaves are a fall staple decoration. We absolutely adore these brilliant colors.

Bold patterns and colors create a look that transitions from season to season. Paired with gourds, this look is perfect for fall.

We love the elegant look of this dining area–especially those adorable pumpkin placeholders!

Vibrant blue vases pop against the dull orange in this fall ensemble.

This dark bathroom uses pops of bright yellow to create a balanced look. Adding a shelf with knick-knacks brings even more personality to an often overlooked space.

This rustic table set stands out in this dining area. Plenty of natural light, neutral color, and small pops of color make this a relaxing space.

Mantels are often a visual crowd-pleaser–delight guests using eccentric mirrors, gold figurines, pinecones and strings of pearls!

Fall is the perfect season for deep red–we love the bold look of these walls.

Rustic and homey, this dining set brings the perfect balance of light and dark wood to this small space.

Bring fall to the bedroom with bright prints and colors. We love this DIY headboard idea.

Wooden beams, panelling and tall posts on the bed frame make this room feel like a nature-filled haven in the comfort of your own home! We love the easy, aesthetic feel created by the natural elements in this bedroom.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy Friday Everyone!

Friday is typically a nice day, isn’t it? There’s a certain magic in the air midday. When I worked in corporate, I’d hang out with my colleagues chatting about weekend plans and discussing our week and silly upper management. We’d disappear for coffee, for that final jolt of caffeine to push us through until 5pm when we’d be free at last like birds.

outdoorsMIY

Now as a freelancer, there is no such thing as the end of a work week. My work is continuous now, always on my mind and I work weekends even when I don’t want to. And yet, Fridays are still magical unicorn kind of days, there is still that Friday feeling buzz. I’d like to wish you a magical Friday and a beautiful evening filled with hope, then promise tomorrow, and the finding of good things on Sunday for you and your family (and little ones, if you have them). For now, I’m leaving you with gorgeous inspiration from a site I recently discovered from one of the founders, Nessa, called Made In You, based in France. Look at their gorgeous event styling… Makes me want to float away.

Have a nice weekend! Oh, and a big thanks to Elle Decoration UK for featuring Decorate With Flowers in their June 2014 issue – I just discovered it yesterday and was so pleased.

Oh! And we’ve added a co-teacher to Blog Boss, Fiona Humberstone, and she’ll be teaching many great topics including full-on blog branding such as the absolute essentials of color psychology, making design decisions that reflect your style and using color psychology to influence your editorial decisions so that you communicate with authenticity and consistency. This class is for ALL LEVELS. Read more here and register before our lovely online class sells out. Also please note that all classes next year will be very different and pricing will change, and none of the current classes from Blogging Your Way will be offered anymore. We are completely changing everything! So if you have been wanting to take a Blogging Your Way e-course, this is a great time to jump on board. This is the last one we’ll be teaching this year and Blog Boss will not be taught again.

Bye everyone, see you on Monday!

The Office Gets A Tiny Kitchen

office kitchen office kitchen by thenester featuring shelves furniture

There’s a tiny little wall in my 400 square foot office/craft room/guest house/attached-to-the-barn-room.

Here’s where the office started,

here’s where it went for awhile,

here’s what it looked like two weeks ago.

As we were working on the barn, we realized it would be so great to have a sink and kitchen area where we could heat up food or simply pull out cold bottled waters from the refrigerator without having to lug it out from the house.

It’s super simple, just 3 cabinets from ikea, a small sink, a rolling cart, some adorable white appliances, all packed in the corner of my office.

Chad and Sean are working on it today.

Here’s the main wall we are using as the “kitchen” from left to right we are hoping to squeeze in a stove, 15 inch ikea cabinet, 24 inch ikea sink base, 15 inch ikea cabinet, and a dishwasher. It’s not going to be a kitchen we use often, no one is really going to be cooking big huge meals in here, but it will be nice to have when we need it and now we can have guests stay in the office/guest room/what do I call this? and they can have their own kitchen which is pretty awesome for all of us.

Just for fun here’s what I made on the ikea planner. The kitchen wall dimensions & window placements are correct but the rest of the room is just an educated guess.

Screen Shot 2014-09-19 at 10.05.57 AM

It’s so helpful to see it all in cartoon form in the room.

The plan is for the refrigerator to sit on this long wall between the window and that pink column. Normally, I don’t like a fridge sitting all by its lonesome, but this particular refrigerator is so pretty that I don’t think it will be an issue. Plus, I found that pink column last week at The Depot at Gibson Mill and I think that will be the perfect partner to sit next to the refrigerator and help give it more of a sense of place.

I’ll be working in the barn most of today (again), we moved in the furniture and I’m officially in my happy place. Monday, I’m joining in a fall tour and instead of featuring our house, I’ll be decking out the barn for fall. I can’t wait for you to see how it’s turning out!
