A hodge podge of homes!

I'm doing a little spring cleaning of my inspirational folders. Here are some images that for some reason or other didn't make it on any of the posts, but are lovely all the same! *If some of these are repeats I do apologize!





I like this apartment featured on Apartment Therapy. It is orderly and neat, but it has a nice human touch - something we could all replicate in our own homes.

Fear not bold and beautiful color...

Eclectic and exotic bedrooms

So, those of you who have been around awhile should be able to appreciate how difficult it was for me to pull some of these images! ;) I always lean toward clean white interiors. Not that I never like the occasional dark, bright, or non-minimalist room, I just almost always get distracted by white interiors and post them instead. Well, I've decided that it's time to expand my horizons (bear with me), and collected some bedrooms that I could definitely see myself comfortable in. How about you?

ps...yes, I know, some of these are still white...

I'm not crazy about the stuff on the shelf above the bed, but I do like the mismatched night stands and the contrasting pillows on the bed.

Not crazy about the palm tree...but I love the bedspread with the blue/purple walls!

Spend more time in your living room

I spend most of my time in either the kitchen cleaning and working, or in my bedroom sleeping. But recently I've noticed I'm most relaxed in my living room - probably because I'm not often doing work there, but simply relaxing with a book or magazine. It's a real luxury that we could all use more of, and I hope these living rooms encourage you to spend a little more time in the living room!


so jealous of the great light in this room!






...love what they've done with the mantle here






I'd love an old rolling palette on wheels as a coffee table
