Oh how I would love to have this colorful dining room in my home. Molly Luetkemeyer of M. Design Interiors perfectly combined the delightful elements that I've fallen for....the fabulous mirror, those gorgeous chairs, the chandelier, the vibrant curtains and obviously the wall color. What is not to love?!
I don't have any clue how Desire to Inspire always finds such talented designers, but Fiona Newell Weeks now tops my list of favorites. Best known for her use of color, Fiona likes her rooms to be creative and entertaining to the eye. I'd easily say my eyes are LOVING these images!
How cute is Sonny's little nursery? Lucky for him, his mom Trina is an interior designer and they have some very crafty friends and family. Pretty much everything in this room was crafted by hand! -Oh Dee Doh
I am loving this look from Domino. The bold turquoise walls, the awesome green fabric on the tufted sofa, and the royal-blue slipper chair, a little orange thrown in. Its all so yummy.
Is this light-filled Norwegian summer retreat not amazing?! Those Scandinavians sure know how to use white. The summerhouse is teeny-tiny, but just perfect for escaping. I love all the little built-ins, especially where the space for the bed. For lots more images, including great exterior shots, go here. -Apartment Therapy
I am loving everything about this image, especially the blue floral fabric on that lovely chair. Such a nice place to unwind when you need a break from work! -HousetoHome
Desire to Inspire recently featured Twig Hutchinson of London who styled these absolutely gorgeous photographs. I love the colors and unique shabby appeal. You have to check out the online portfolio...its beautiful!
How cool is this bathroom that Jamie from Remnants sent over to me?! I've never even seen a double sided sink like that. What a efficient use of space for a small bath. And I absolutely love the mirror hanging down, and the lights...so cool. The real winner here is obviously the turquoise tile running onto the floor though! Fabulous!! Thanks again Jamie!
I love all the personality the turquoise wall adds to this dining room. The particular shade was apparently inspired by the Paris Metro logo. -Domino
How fun is this cool kitchen I ran into on Sunset Magazine? I seriously just about squealed when I saw it. I love the green and blue laminates used on the drawer and door fronts, and especially on the interiors of open storage niches. What a look!
Here are more images from one of my favorite designers Kathy Dalwood. I am really loving that pink chair in the first image and the lamps and bright pillows in the others. So fun! I wish a fabulous weekend to everyone! :)
I was browsing anthropologie.com and found this lovely image. I really like that peacock wingback settee. Unfortunately, I don't have the $2500 for it! I think I could manage the cost of that paint color though. Love it!
Last month Desire to Inspire featured work by the super-talented photographer Eric Staudenmaier. You have to check out his online portfolio because these images are just scratching the surface of his talent. Not only does he take some amazing architectural and residential photos, but you shouldn't miss his personal photos either. I am seriously loving the library above. Those shelves are something else, and hello, the chandelier?! LOVE.
I didn't know you could find a home like this in Dallas, Texas...it looks straight out of Europe!! This 1920's Spanish Revival home was featured in House Beautiful, and was designed by the talented Dana Oatley Ortego. They have a lot more images and tons of great info on this amazing home here!
The lovely Jennifer of MadeByGirl recently shared her love of the Spanish design magazine 'Mi Casa Revista'. She featured several colorful images from their website, this bedroom being my absolute favorite. Check out MadeByGirl and the magazine here for more!
Another example of why neutral furniture always ends up being my favorite. And you know, I would never have thought a soft pretty lilac and bold turquoise would look so good together. Love the mirrors too! I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!! -Domino
How awesome would it be to have this lovely (and efficient) laundry room in your home?! Staci from the Atlantic Design Center, an 8,000-square-foot kitchen and bath showroom in York, Maine, sent this image over to me knowing I'd love it. And I do! Thanks Staci!
I absolutely love these dreamy bedrooms that Things That Inspire included in her amazing blog entry devoted to sunburst mirrors. I think the first one is totally my taste...I love the black and white, the bed, the great chairs, and that mirror!
