3.  Can I visit this cafe soon??

If I had to design a room around this horse print, here are a few things that I would use.  Random, I know.  But oh so fun.

Horse by blondebeard, chair, light, sofa, pillow, rug, lamp and table.

Take A Look…Fred’s Room.

July 28th, 2010

How cute is Fred’s room??  Stay at home mom, Katie, just completed it and I think that she did a great job!  My favorite piece is the chest of drawers.  I also love the mix of vintage toys and the art collage.  Great job Katie and way to represent Idaho well!!

I personally don’t have a designated office space at home but I know the importance of them.  I usually find myself working on my kitchen table, couch and or sofa.  I someday would like to have my own office space area with lots of room for storage and filing.  What do you need in a work space?

Custom Bar Stool...

Happy new week!!  I start this week with over 90 mosquito bites all over my body.  That’s right, you heard me right!  I had a convo with a friend, standing in wet grass and I didn’t even realize that I was being eaten alive.  Oops!!  Its all good.  I just look like I have some sord of pox.  No biggy!

In other news, we just finished these bar stools (pictured above) last week.  You like?  There is a set of 3 available at Brass Razoo.

3 Things To Love…

1.  Fantastically cool hotel.

2.  Can I get 3 of these Tea Towels?

3.  Modern beach perfection.

I hope that this week was great for all of you!!  Thank you for leaving comments and participating in Share With the Class.  I want to start posting more of those.  It helps get our design bugs moving and helps us figure out elements we love and don’t love in a space.  Its a good exercise!

Have a great weekend and see you on Monday!!! xx

3 Ways…

July 22nd, 2010

I am loving these light teal and turquoise tones.  A perfect compliment for gray, white, mustard and brown (and many other combination’s and colors).  Here are a few options on how to use such a specific color in a space.

*Paint it on a wall or walls for a total dramatic effect.
*If you only want random splashes of this color, use it in everyday items like mugs, vases and other home accessories.
*And if you still want a dramatic feel but you don’t want to paint a whole room, choose one piece of furniture in a space to paint.
