If you need some fun illustrations for an art wall or a specific room in your home, check out one of my sponsors, Field Trip.  Amy launched this shop with 3 original illustrations, Love Peace and Handmade  These prints are very reasonably priced!  Below are my prints that I cant wait to hang up.  But first I need to find the perfect frames.

...I lost my wedding ring.  I am quite bummed as I should be.  And yes, I have looked EVERYWHERE!  Seriously, everywhere.  I am super organized and I only leave it in a few places.  On my dresser in a dish and in my linen closet with the rest of my jewelry.  I just can’t believe that after 10 years I decide to lose it....really??  So we have a few conclusions.  One, I put it in the craziest place without thinking.  Two, my daughter “borrowed” it and forgot where she put it.  Third, it was stolen.  How?  I have no idea.  But maybe!  So, when you are going about your day and week, please say a little prayer for me and my ring.  We need to meet again, soon!

This is a super lovely home tour!

I love watching people work on projects and redo their personal spaces. It is so fun to see an individuals personality come out in their home.  Nichole from Sparrow“ Nest is in the midst of many projects in her home.  She recently purchased this flower mobile (below) at PBteen.  It looks lovely with her dark walls, white accessories and white window coverings.

Also, she painted this mural on her kitchen wall.  At first glance I thought it was wallpaper.  Beautiful!!

Great job Nichole!  Cant wait to see what else you accomplish in your abode.

There are alot of options available to fill up wall space these days. So many great decals and wallpaper to choose from. Here are a few that I found over the weekend.

This would be super cute in a kids bedroom, play room or any room to make it feel more fun.

I love this hand drawn look.

Its time to pack up your suitcases.

This paper looks very vintage.

I am signing off early today.  I have a busy weekend ahead starting with a hockey game tonight.  Any hockey fans?  I just started watching hockey this last year.  Mostly because a good friend of ours is on the team.  With or without all of the fighting, its a fun sport to watch.
Please have a super weekend and I will see you on Monday!!!

I haven’t had any big projects happening at my house lately so I thought I would just post a few pics of randomness. Hope you are having a great day!!!!

Did you hear? The Successful Living Home collection from Diesel by Foscarini and Moroso has arrived in the United States. This collection is full of vintage, rock and modern without losing comfort. The pieces seen here are my favorites from the collection.

The home collection is available at Diesel 5^th Avenue and Soho in New York City, Diesel Melrose in Los Angeles, and Diesel San Francisco’s Market Street location. Prices range from $350 – $14,500.

I love the look of having only bottom shelves in a kitchen. It makes the space seem so open. I am not sure if its very practical.   You would probably need some sort of pantry or really organized shelving unit.  What do you think?

Wallpaper design company, Cavern Home, recently launched a New Artist Edition Wallpaper Series with patterns by Tom Slaughter, Julia Zeigler-Haynes, David Stark, Lily Angotti and Miky Fabrega .  I am completely smitten with the feel and look of this collection.  Fresh, innovative and stylish.  Below are a few of my faves.  Go to their site for more selections.

Today I am participating in Blog It Forward, which was originally thought of on Twitter between some really fantastic ladies.  And from there Victoria put feet on the idea and now 300 bloggers are answering the question, “what inspires you?”.  So since I run a decor blog, I am going to share with you what inspires me personally in decor and design.

Wallpaper and black.  Both are what I am looking at and dreaming of aesthetically.

Mirrors.  Will we ever get tired of the mirror movement?  I sure hope not!

Having a beautiful space requires a space that also smells yummy.

I don’t make my bed everyday but when I do I feel like I have conquered much.

Gallery walls can showcase your interests, loved ones and whats important to you.

Unique color schemes make me happy.  Its thinking outside of the box.

2 words.  Fresh flowers!

I am such a yellow nerd.  I have been going strong with yellow for over a year now.

Floor to ceiling white kitchens.  Wouldn’t you want to cook more?

A great chair and a great pillow.

Unique spaces with a twist in the architecture.

Silence and Noise passed it on to me and now I pass the baton to Simply The Nest.  Make sure you visit her blog tomorrow for what inspires her.  Also check out the list of more bloggers who are particpating today.

I hope you all enjoyed your weekend. It felt like it went by way to fast..right?  And its March 1st??  I must say that I will miss one thing from these last two weeks.  I was getting used to cuddling with my hubby on the couch, eating popcorn and m&ms and watching some good ole Olympics!  Now back to regular programming......what is regular programming?  I have forgotten.

Remember my good friend Elise“ house tour on Design* Sponge?  Here are some more shots of her lovely bedroom including her $7 headboard.

I love her style and I love her shop.

See you all soon!
