{JUST A LITTLE} EYE-CANDY!

So I came across this gorgeous home at work today, and I wanted to share it! It's beautifully done. 

Enjoy! 

I love neutral upholstery, with pops of color either in pillows, drapery, or accent pieces. This room is perfect! 

A man's area. 

I like how the wood paneling is carried through out the home, and how the wood is left unpainted here. Makes the space more masculine.  

I am loving this lucite coffee table! 

Looks a lot like my dream home! ;)

LOVELY PASTELS

It's finally Spring time again! 

My favorite season, next to Summer! Here's some inspiration to get you in the mood for the beautiful, breezy, bright days of Spring! Enjoy:) 

Love Lavender!

Oh so lovely! Pastels are the most feminine of colors, ever. And that's probably why I am drawn to them so much! Lace, flowers, tea, dresses, roses, YES PLEASE. 

I love how all of these beautiful pastel tones can be inspired right from nature. 

If I could, I would choose to be outdoors always. Wandering by a river, or maybe tinkering in a garden.  Oh how beautiful the world becomes during Spring with everything in bloom!

Easy, breezy and calm. I love using soft shades of blue in master bedrooms. I believe that there is no color more relaxing! 

These fun pastel colored pencils are a fun inspiration for a child's room. So playful and cheery. Usually you can get away with more colors in bigger amounts in a child's room! ;) 

Such soft tones in a room will also make your space seem much more airy and open rather than darker tones. 

Changing your throw pillows or comforter is a very simple way to brighten things up. And it can of course be done in a cost effective way! 

Feeling inspired yet? :) 

GORGEOUS OFFICE SPACES! {INCLUDING A GET THE LOOK}

This is my personal favorite grouping of images. 

-I love the pops of pink in both rooms. With accents of gold! 

I love this use of green in this office space! It's a very bright, refreshing color! 

I love looking at beautiful, well designed offices; however what I love more is creating the same or similar look, for much MUCH less! Who agrees? Even as a designer, I don't believe you need to spend thousands of dollars to achieve a room you absolutely love. You do, however need to shop smart, and be prepared for maybe a little D.Y.I.! 

Here's what I've come up with. Everything you see here you can have for about $200.00! Not bad, right? 

Ikea: Desk, Picture Frame, Rug, and Table Lamp
Anthropologie: Pillow
Target: Office Chair
Z Gallerie: Floral Tea Light Holders

As always,

LOVE OVERCAST MORNINGS!

I love a beautiful overcast morning! Such lovely weather we have been having in Southern California lately... I love how the weather has given us little bits of each season in a week too! We've have rain, fog, heat and cooler temps! A little bit of everything. I find it very inspiring! 

ORANGE YOU GLAD I'M POSTING AGAIN?

Hey Followers! 

I know it's been awhile since I have posted!  Sometimes life gets so busy, you really have to look for those spare moments where you can truly let your mind escape to your "creative land" and time to allow yourself to become inspired. As a creative individual, I find it hard to be brilliantly creative, under stress and limited amounts of time.  Tonight, I have found a spare hour after work to let my mind free, and along with a cup of tea, it feels great! 

Today, I have started a new project, and the gears are turning in my head! To let you in on a little bit of this new project, I am thinking orange! Orange is not a color I gravitate naturally towards, or use often; however, it is the desired color of the client! Orange is a very interesting color to me. A combination of red and yellow, so vibrant. It denotes energy, warmth, and the sun. But orange seems less in intensity or aggression than red, calmed by the cheerfulness of yellow. To me, orange says a summer night with spicy chicken curry, and sunsets.  

Here's what inspires me and images I'm thinking of using! Enjoy!

Using color in small amounts is a good way to introduce strong hues into your home.

Orange, the happy cheerful color. We often overlook using orange as we find it bright and bold and too brilliant to use in our homes.

But wait, where does peach and apricot come from? Yes, the color orange. They are a tint of orange. Now you can see that we do actually use orange a lot in our interiors!

Feeling inspired yet?

Throw around some bright orange cushions to brighten up a dull color scheme, add some orange flowers to a vase to enliven the room.

Orange is a popular color choice for teenager children’s bedrooms, as it is happy and active and has anti depressive properties!

Orange can also be quite classy, when used properly ;) 

That's all for now!
