This is where I got my inspiration

19 May

This is not a great photo but I saw this in the Marks & Spencer catalog and was attracted to the high shelf.  I had already picked out the bone china blue for my kitchen walls which is probably why I stopped at this photograph.  Found the same type of shelf at IKEA and it’s perfect for behind the dining table because it’s high enough that it doesn’t get in the way for people sitting on the bench but still gives the room a bit of visual interest.

Black and white bedroom

18 May

I like the elegant look that a really simple color palette (or lack of color palette as in this instance) can lend a room.   Very simple and gender neutral.  The symmetry in this room is also great with the two long standing mirrors, matched chandeliers and side tables.

Colorful quilt

This bedroom really lets the quilt be the hero and I love it.  Very simple room but a quilt full of color. Happy birthday to Meghan.

Pastel country kitchen

This kitchen look very “Cath Kidston” to me.  It’s really sweet and cottage-y.  Lovely.

Love these colors

15 May

This would be a great bedroom to wake up in — fun paisley-trimmed sheets and a brightly colored quilt which looks suspiciously like one my sister, Rebecca, has.  Nice combo.

Curtains hide away this small workspace.  I love the little pom pom trim on the curtains — perfect for a bedroom.

Garage Dining Room

10 May

I know a lot of people who don’t make use of their garages.  This seems like a perfect solution and I love the whimsical colors.
