Room Swoon

I stumbled on this room over at House of Turquoise yesterday and I am completely in love. I am working on putting my living room back together and definitely keeping this one as inspiration! I love how cozy it looks and I love that it has STUFF. I like a little bit of clutter in my space. It makes it feel like a home to me.

Post 235: Mid-Century Swoon

I was cruising the interwebs for some inspiration on the home project and stumbled across this fantastic home office on MyHomeDesain.com. And let me tell you I am IN LOVE.I love the cool colors with the natural wood.
And that rug!
Swoon.
For now I can only dream of an office space/craft room....but it is quite a nice dream. sigh.

Post 207: Circus Love!

In four days the baby will be 9 months. I have no idea where the time has gone. He may as well be turning 30. I feel like the moments slip by so quickly! So, with that said, this means it is time for me to start planing his first birthday!

Being a lover of elephants, popcorn...

striped straws, apothecary jars full of colorful candy...and bunting...i LOVE bunting...and just all things cute, bright and colorful, naturally I MUST go with a circus theme... (I am going to pretend that my current obsession with the novel Water for Elephants has nothing to do with it...)How cute is that??? Just a little Google image search has tons of inspiration. I just have to find a way to make everything baby friendly since all of his "friends" are about the same age. Anyone have any great party favor/food ideas for a bunch of babies??

Post 178: Bedroom Inspiration

Sooo, this week I am hoping to tackle the master bedroom. I have been putting it off for way too long. I have posted a few lovely pictures of rooms I looove.

How awesome is this beautiful yellow bed?

I know I posted this in the previous entry but it is too fantastic to not include again.

More grey...
I love the modern twist to this room...I am really excited to get started I am hoping I can follow through with it without getting too exhausted. If you have some pictures of fantastic grey and yellow rooms be sure to share them with me!

Post 177: Happy Weekend

This baby thing has me totally exhausted. I plan on spending my weekend getting lost in books and enjoying obnoxious amounts of sleep.

The house is coming along at a decent pace considering how out of it I have been. My next room to tackle is the master bedroom. I love the room above with its pretty yellow and grey color scheme, I hope to do something similar before baby arrives. That gives me 6 weeks, if I can keep myself awake long enough to accomplish anything!

Post 150: Mid Century Inspiration

So, now that the house is soon to be allll MINE. I have been looking for inspiration. It is a late mid-century home and has TONS of big beautiful windows that look out to TONS and TONS of lovely trees and beautiful nature! I think it would be fantastic to stick with some lovely mid century design. I am definitely drooling over all of these....

Post 110: So We Are Adding a Bathroom...

The man and I have decided the time has come to add a bathroom to our humble home. Someone started adding one some 20 years ago, installed an exhaust fan and it never made it any further than that. Soooo what is now our awkward 7'x8' catch all room will soon be our lovely little second bath, thank goodness! I was looking for inspiration for our small space but these pictures have me daydreaming of the day we win the lottery (that we dont play)...

I am in love with this. Is it a pool? Is it a tub? Both?! Would you ever be able to leave this space?
And this bathroom looks so warm, cozy, and homey....sigh I love white, and I also love large open windows near beautiful bathtubs....which means I need to move to a more remote location... (at least my neighbors would probably think so)
I love the chandelier in the bathroom look....but looking through pics it definitely has to be done right or it just looks silly.

Well I have to get started on prepping the room for the plumber and I am keeping my fingers crossed that it won't be toooo outrageous!
