Living Room Inspiration

2010-03-21T16:13:00.000-07:00

I like the color scheme on the wall paint.

Simple, thin legged side table. Contrasting color to the couch.

Custom book shelves.

Love everything about this shot. I would take this living room. I love the couch most of all. But especially paired with the side chair, bookshelves, and overhanging lamp. Love the neutral couch color with colorful pillows.

Laundry Room Inspiration

2010-03-21T16:11:00.000-07:00

Natural light! I'm not usually drawn to bright paint colors, but I like this. Laundry/mud room definitely needs to be be fresh and bright for me.

Better than bunkbeds.

I cant' believe these built ins would be any harder than built in cabinets or bookshelves. (To contract, I mean. I would never attempt a project like this.) It would be such a fun customization for a shared bedroom. A little privacy goes a long way. The curtains to enclose the bed are a nice touch.

Kitchen Features

This kitchen remodel has some great ideas. First, I love the custom spice rack built under the cabinets. What a great idea to streamline the kitchen and keep the counters clear.

I need that huge fridge/freezer!

It's hard to see, but I really like the tiled back splash.

Love the dark wood, although I think in the end I prefer white kitchen cabinets above all.

Great layout. The wall used to be where the counter ends.

Play Room

I'm really in love with this picture. I love the red, high-gloss READ on the wall, the picture book wall hangings, the mix-matched colorful pillows. I usually steer more toward nuetral colors with small pops of color, but I would love to to have a playroom that just shouts with saturated colors.

Hairblooms

2009-08-22T13:15:00.000-07:00

There is a great give-away on Hart + Sew this week. Aren't these hairblooms adorable? Makes me miss my baby girl. You can also check out the etsy shop for purchase.

Favorite Things Swap

2009-06-30T19:50:00.000-07:00

I am really excited to join according to kelly's favorite things swap. All you have to do is email Kelly and she'll line you up with a fellow blogger. You send three of your favorite things to that person. In return you'll recieve a favorite things package from someone. As a lover of gift selection, packaging, and giving I am iching to get started.

Martha Stewart Goodness

I just saw these two cook books at Barnes and Noble and immediately started salivating. They were priced for $25 bones apiece. Too pricey for me. I looked them up on Amazon and can snag both for just over $30. Do I splurge or hint at an early birthday present from J...

Either way, I think that they are must haves for my kitchen collection. Not only do the recipes look delicious, the photography is great and there are party, holiday, and packaging ideas.

Bay Window Treatments

If I ever have a bay window. I want to treat it like this. Bay rods available at JC Penny. Picture via This Young House.

Perfect Paint Color

2009-06-18T11:59:00.000-07:00

We painted the living room in our apartment in Virginia a similar color gray. I found it a wonderful nuteral. The way this entry/hallway is designed is wonderfully clean and serene with the stark white accents, mirrors bouncing light, and pop of green from the front door.

Mirror Lamps

2009-06-15T14:58:00.001-07:00

I like the whole set up of this room, colors, etc. But I LOVE the lamps.

Shower Ideas

2009-06-13T13:32:00.000-07:00

I'm throwing my little sister a shower. She is expectining her first. A baby girl! I need to focus my thoughts because I have about a thousand ideas for the party floating around my pretty little head.

Vintage inspired straws.

Bottled soda in shower colors. From Project Wedding.

Onesies

2009-06-13T13:28:00.000-07:00

Once again, can't find where I downloaded these pics from. Madning since I can think of at least four preggers who need these onesies right now. Somewhere on etsy.

Wall Print

2009-06-13T13:11:00.000-07:00

What a great new print from persimmon and pink. I may need to order it up in a few different colors for the kids' rooms.

Felt Crowns

2009-06-13T13:08:00.000-07:00

I cannot for the life of me remember where I downloaded this picture from and I really want to give the creator credit. I love, love, love these. I plan on recreating a couple from Christmas for A and I. Or maybe as birthday crowns. Either way, they are a. dorable.

Birthday Card

2009-06-13T13:06:00.000-07:00

This card idea is from inchmark, one of my favorite blog haunts. I can just imagine A recieving one of these and being head over heals happy.

Shelf Display

2009-06-13T13:01:00.000-07:00

This shelf display is amazing. I love the functionality (real word?) of it. I've always loved how stacked books look on a shelf, but what a clever idea to display your favorite covers or other photos in front. Bravo.

I'm pretty sure I can't live without this ring. The best part: $9! Tom Design has a lot of beautiful pieces. If only I had unlimited funds for this sort of thing...

Custom Name Frame Note Cards

2009-04-22T13:09:00.001-07:00

I'm thinking this would be a perfect Christmas gift for sibling swaps or parents.

The Beav

2009-04-20T14:52:00.000-07:00

I have grand plans for A and I's rooms as soon as we have a little space and money. I love this print from Ifop on Etsy. It would be perfect above I's bed.

Cake Stands

2009-04-16T18:25:00.000-07:00

I'm a little obsessed with cakestands right now. These are a few I've been eyeing lately. By the way my birthday is in July if anyone is wondering. wink, wink.

1. Martha Stewart Collection Cake Stands I love the simplicity of these classic beauties. And how great that it can double as a cupcake stand by simply stacking.

2. Jadeite Cake Stand from Fishs Eddy The color is to die for.

3. Emile Henry Ruffled Cake Stand Williams and Sonoma always has beautiful serveware. The Emile Henry collection is especially enticing.

4. Lyndon B. Johnson Cake Stand I think of about a million uses for this cake stand. First, of course, is for the cakes. President's Day, Inaguarations, State of the Union, Fourth of July. How fun would it be to pull out this lovely for a political party. Beyond that, it would be great in a home office to hold and number of official state business. Great stuff from Etsy.

wow.
