it's all in the details: smart & stunning decorating & design ideas from petit ermitage!

i'm so inspired by the clever details at petit ermitage in west hollywood.  take a look and see what inspires you for your home or business. 


 i love how this charming birdcage takes some of the spotlight away from the less than attractive wall panel.  i'd even add something inside like a candle.

 of course if you have disposable paper products, they should be made with recycled content and eco ink, 
but how about following the lead of the hotel shown above with a special message like lips and hotel phone #!

 sometimes a practical need can provide an opportunity to add just the right detail like 
these beautiful metal wall corner gaurds. 

 another example of how you can use hardware to your advantage as a special design detail like
in the elevator as a corner brace on the wood paneling joining the wall and the ceiling.

this thin metal baseboard is a great solution to the typical 'wood' baseboard 
that comes with some depth and could be a problem in a narrow space. 

 
another great example of embracing what could be seen as something that needs to be covered up. 
this electrical pole is clearly embraced as it's adorned with the same lyrical pattern found inside the hotel.
