Filling Your Walls With Inspiration
All photos by Leslie of A Creative Mint, found via Decor8. If you’re looking for a an easy way to add a lot of color to your house, an inspiration board will do nicely. To help you get started, here…
Indian Purple
Photography for House Beautiful. Are you familiar with John Robshaw? He’s a textile designer with a fascination for Indian patterns and bright colors. One of my favorite parts is how he combines multiple patterns (I counted 6 in one photo),…
Neon Brights
Photography by Brooke Holm for The Design Files. Neon colors aren’t something that I ever thought I would see used successfully in home decor. Outside of homes in Back to the Future 2 and Cocktails, it’s just not a popular color. Until…
Windowsill Gardens
Spring is definitely starting to happen here in Ireland! I can see buds on trees and bushes, and some of the early indicators of warmer weather, like daffodils, are lining the back roads of County Kilkenny. It’s still a tricky…
Wanted: A Few Good Trees
Photography by Simon Watson for Elle Decor. I had to give up my beloved mini ficus when we moved, and feel the need to advertise for a replacement. “Must love pots, tolerate a bit of shade, be willing to clean air,…
How To: Create A Stylish Bathroom
Happy Monday friends! My focus this month is to organize and design a few of my “trouble” spots. The first, and easiest, is the upstairs bathroom. It’s the one I use daily, and my toiletries have just kind of spread…
Have a Seat
I’m in need of chairs, the kind that you can sink into and have a good chat. The comfortable kind, placed across from the couch, in a reading loft, or beside a guest bed. We have none, yes, none, in…
Basket Love
I knew I had a problem when I walked in from a shopping trip with four baskets, and my husband responded with, “I guess you can never have too many baskets?” From wire to wicker, handmade to mass produced, I…
Ornaments and Mistletoe
Photography by Stacey Brandford and Janis Nicolay. Looking at these photos from House & Home has me regretting the decision not to decorate our home. I put out the very few decorations we brought from the States, but they look…
Book Towers
Photography by Unknown (via Becky Hill) and DWR (via French by Design). Drooling over this book tower, and am kicking myself again for not ordering one before we moved. I have yet to find a version in Ireland.
Hotel Droog
Droog, a hotel/work space/branding agency/lab in Amsterdam is blowing my mind. Go check out everything they do and you’ll be blown away as well. Found via Studio G.
Ode to Alcoves
Photography for Mi Casa Revista via Decorology. A short love letter to little alcoves and nooks. I have at least four in the new house, and I’m discovering the world of possibilities for each one. Nooks are the perfect spot to…
A Study in Brown and White
Can you believe these are digital visualizations by Viz Art and not an actual room? I couldn’t. But if you click here to view the rest of the photos you can see details (like the duvet cover) that are clearly…
Cozy Seating Arrangements
Photography for Domino Magazine. As we enter late summer, my interests are turning towards cozier seating arrangements with plenty of rugs, fireplaces, pillows and throws. A warm and quiet place to chat with friends, sip a cup of coffee, or…
Attics and Dormers
Photography by Pernille Kaalund for Heyhome. Attic rooms have been my favorite ever since a childhood friend’s father renovated their extra storage space into a bedroom and bathroom combo. There was something about the tucked away space that spoke to my…
Entryway Love
Photography for Skona Hem. From the elegant to functional, couches to consoles, entryways and mudrooms greet guests and give them a taste of what’s to come in your home. My favorite entryways have a lot of style with a…
Fall Colors
Loving these Fall 2012 colors from Pantone. Sea Fog and Rose Smoke combine to make a beautifully feminine room, soft Titanium and Whitecap Gray keep the pastels from overwhelming the eye. If pastels aren’t your thing, with a little editing…
Vintage Modern Glamour
Photography by Jennifer Daigle Photography via Glitter Guide. Loving this California home owned by Erika Brechtel. It proves that glamour and vintage modern aren’t mutually exclusive. Click here to see more of her home, as well as how she found her best…
Monastic Blue and White
Photography by Debi Treloar. Unmade beds always look so inviting to me. Are you the same?
Bold and Beautiful
One of my favorite parts of Spanish decor is the way tile is used as a colorful accent. No shy colors and subtle patterns to be found here! Just bold and beautiful yellows, blues, and more. 1. Made A Mano…
Spanish Colonial Style Board
Ah, the arched doorways, stucco walls, wood beams, and terracotta details of Spanish Colonial style homes. Aren’t they just amazing? This is one of my favorite mood boards yet, mostly because it reminds me of the best parts of Nicaragua….
Black + White
My parents famously decorated one of their first homes completely in white. I have yet to see a photograph from this home, and as I was yet unborn, I missed out on this 70′s inspired period in our family’s life….
Brown + White + Gray
I can’t tell you how much I’m loving brown + white + gray right now. I’m seeing it everywhere, and I’m thinking this is a color scheme I can stick with for a while. It’s a liveable and approachable color…
Less Sugar, More Appreciation
Photography by Whitney of Eat Sleep Cuddle. It’s like Whitney read my mind. Replace the May with June, and I”m right there with her. We’ve started major savings mode for our upcoming move and it has made me aware of how…
Blue & Khaki
When Ami from Elizabeth Anne Designs sent over a blue+khaki inspiration board, I couldn’t resist doing a version of this for the blog. Pale blue and khaki is the perfect combination for interiors, fashion, and entertaining. They’re both so soothing…
Glamour Puss
Photography by Sam Allen Interiors. Hollywood Glamour is not a decor style with which I connect, but this acrylic coffee table with metallic poufs placed perfectly underneath is too cool to pass up. Maybe I need to add a little…
