I have only seen pictures of her lovely little apartment, so I'm not familiar with layout.
First let's start off with a prayer room/corner or interesting accent pieces to liven up a hallway or weird little nook area of a room:
First thing I notice and LOVE about this is the border painted on the bottom of the wall. I've never seen this before. I would normally think you'd want to emphasize the height of a room, but this is about loving what you've got. Bringing the brightness around the very neutral furniture gives the space a little more depth. I also love the weathered look of this furniture for Caitlyn. I would accompany this bench with these pillows:
Now I like the idea of a mural, but this might be a bit much. I just wanted to show it in context with the textiles and furniture. Caitlyn has her own little corner with pictures like below. I like the idea of mixing the Candlesticks (you could find look alikes from Anthropologie or Urban Outfitters) and berry colored throws with something so ethereal. I would stick with a yellow, blue or green throw for Caitlyn. You could toss that over a prayer bench or console table. This also shows you could multipurpose the room for a guest room!
This is exactly what I would do for her entry way. I love how old school the furniture looks but with the modern artwork over it. She has red accents in the kitchen so this would help tie in that. I'm not a huge fan of the whitewashed flooring (*gasp...I know, I usually am) but I think a rich dark hardwood floor would bring a playful elegance with this.
Ok...not to make too dramatic a switch here, but this is how I imagine her kitchen. Bright, sunny, eclectic and full of happiness. She already has a little red table. I would add bright yellow or turquoise chairs to that puppy! Get some vintage seat cushions made with a fabric similar to the upholstered chair here. Keep your accessories porcelain and fun. The quirkier the better. Keep the kitchen cabinets white along with your window treatments.
Finally the den. I would make the space simple and symmetrical for a clean look. Use interesting fabrics and patterns for visual interest. Obviously the architecture gives this space a romantic feel to it, which is lovely, but you also could achieve this with your accessories. Pretty vases, artwork, anything floral. I would keep all the big things neutral like paint and bigger furniture. I would, however, add a printed rug (like below) instead of keeping that solid. Rug:
I also use pillows with a more modern print:
Well there you have it. Caitlyn's space is already adorable. You can see it here. Hopefully you can drawn a little inspiration from these posts. I've already gotten great ideas for myself!
