A Compact Collection

The shallow built-in bookshelves in this Lonny living room pack a dense book collection and even a flatscreen TV onto one wall. Paired with the floor-length mirror, they're a great way to contain your collections and create visual interest in a small space.

Kate Moss in Valentino

She may not look her happiest, but Kate Moss is definitely dressed to knock 'em dead in this Valentino cocktail dress. I can't get enough of her pink/cheetah combo and the sheer shimmer of her frock. Ideal inspiration for girls' night out this weekend!

Gray Lady

I admire the mix of modern elements and traditional pieces in this living room by Portland interior designer Jessica Helgerson. The angular sofa is decidedly contemporary and the white coffee table has an almost pixelated quality that offers stark contrast to the heavy dark wood armoire. My only change would be the lighting; wouldn't you prefer something like this chandelier?
