kitchen inspiration

I absolutely love everything about this kitchen!

The lighting, the backsplash, the inset cabinets, the hardware, and the FLOOR are all to die!

You can not tell me that your heart didn't skip a beat when you first saw this beautifully tiled floor!

Check out THIS post on The Roof Over My Head to find out more info about how she achieved this look.

I think this flooring would also look lovely in a bathroom!

swinging

How fun would it be to have a swing inside your home! I've always secretly wanted one, so I decided to look up some inspiration.

I love this one! It's called the Swing Necklace! It very sturdy and it comes in beechwood or wool felt. Jewelry for your home!

I think having a swing indoors adds fun and playfulness to a space, but it can also bring a relaxing, peaceful feeling. Great way to unwind from a long day at work!

color blocking

I know you all are familiar with this huge trend in fashion right now...color blocking!

Basically, it is assembling different blocks of solid color next to each other in an outfit.

It is all about color saturation on a neutral canvas!

1. The Blonde Salad 2. Atlantic-Pacific 3. Pinterest 4. Sterling Style

This trend isn't just for fashion anymore, it works great for interiors too!

When color blocking in fashion you typically only see 2-3 colors used, however since a room is a lot more space to work with, I think it is safe to use 2-5 colors for interiors.

Here are some visual examples…

If you are not up to committing to color blocking a whole room, try this trend in a small section of your home. Like these books on this bookcase.

So take a hint from this fashion trend and start color blocking your space!

I mentioned in a previous post that in my dream kitchen I want there to be a big pot rack. Well, there will also be a comfy breakfast nook with tons of light pouring in! Just like in these images that I came across on Pinterest...

scheming

I love to look at this room. It's so feminine and peaceful, and I love the color scheme. So I just had to use Illustrator to pull out the colors and save it to my file of favorite color schemes. Husband might not like it, but it would be perfect for a little girl's room one day!

I hope everyone has a lovely weekend!

I love stripes! Especially horizontal stripes on walls. I want to redo my parent's upstairs bathroom and I think horizontal stripes would look great!

These are some of my fav stripe inspiration pics...
