Adorable.


Another cute little vignette of photos. I love how playful the Birdcage is in the top photo. These interiors are so sweet they make my teeth ache.

Tradition...

... with a twist. Ultra rich colours and this photo screams texture and delight. Maybe a little too busy for my own personal taste but I like it, a lot.

Super Cute.

I thought this small collection of photos were super cute. They colours, the collection of personal items, the wall paper. It makes me feel all warm inside, I love it!

Head Board.


Ok, the colours not so much BUT the head board. That heavy, ornate head board speaks volumes. I wish I had it, I would paint it white (or black) and get all graphic with the bedding. I think I need to go vintage shopping, like now.

Summer Lovin.

As I sit here in my freezing cold office (the heat is cranked!) I tend to gravitate towards summer enriched images as I think about the approaching summer months. I have to say, I'm a sucker for clean, graphic textiles. They make the space. This screened in porch boosts a lot of simplistic qualities but its the floor to ceiling curtains that pushes this interior into some serious WOW factor. Yup, I love it.

Jewel Tones.

I love how empty this room is, the high ceilings, the white walls, the crown molding, the two toned jewel toned curtains, the mash up of vintage qualities and the twisted branch of bamboo on the mantel. Everything is so different but very much the same because they all work together.

Zebra.


I am addicted to animal print, well mostly just zebra print. It has this gorgeous, graphic, sophisticated quality to it and after coming across this image, I just had to share it. I agree, animal print can be tacky at times (a lot of the time!) so it has to be done right and I think this interior is a perfect example. Domino Magazine is showcasing this room, belonging to decorator Ashley Whittaker. I also love the colour change, Blue! This colour is so NOW.

Home Office.

Under Construction.
Its getting there! Ill post more photos when its done.

Friendly.



I have to take a moment to share these precious photos with you! My boyfriend's skateboard company (Friendly Skateboards) is now branching out to kids clothes. Super cute, Koen (the model, son to our friend Derek) is only 3 is already talking about going pro. I cant even handle this! In addition to Friendly Skateboards (friendlyskateboards.com), Adam also owns a printing company called 'Champion Print Studio' (championprintstudio.com) based out of Oakville. Check it out!

Beauty.


May not be an interior but I love it just the same. Stunning. x

Bed Knobs.

A Little Retro, A Little Modern and a whole lotta romantic. I love the vibe that this bedroom gives off, the print may not be my style but I feelin it all the same. Dramatic style that a boring bedroom would benefit from. Loves.

Vanities.


Back to interiors. Vanities, an overlooked detail when designing a functioning bedroom space. I love vanities and this photo shows the marriage between the antique lamps, art deco mirror and Lucite table top. Stunning really, the perfect environment to store all the precious gems that you can never find a home for in the first place. Vanities will make getting ready in the morning a much more enjoyable experience.

Moccasins.

Just so you know, Ive had my eye on these Minnetonka beauties for a while. I should be making this purchase shortly.

Lohan.

I seriously love the Lohan. I think its the outfits.

Renovations.




Stumbled across this, thought it was interesting enough to share. Dutch Firm 'Zecc' converted a chapel into a modern apartment. Love how they kept the stain glass windows and worked with the original architecture. Stunning isn't it?

Purple.


I don't know if I would have the guts to paint an entire room purple. I feel like i would just grow tired of it BUT at the moment, I love it. It seems so rich and inviting.

Vintage.


This space reminds me of my old room in my student house. Okay, so it didn't exactly look this nice but the white walls, the cracked details and old wooden floors make me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

Home Office II.


There is a lack of inspiring home offices online. I thought these guys were super cute for different reasons. I love looking at work spaces, how people organize themselves and such. I really hope my little space turns out, I'm going to be spending a lot of time in my home office so I need it to be perfect. I just wish I had a window.

Home Office.

I'm excited to say that tonight I'm going to start putting together my home office. I'm freaking out actually because I'm dying to get into projects and start connecting with people. I think Ill take photos along the way and post them on here to show!

Dark Walls



Dark walls are my new weakness. I want to paint everything dark and moody. Its just so romantic, modern and unexpected. Hmmmmmm...

Love at first sight.


This just made me weak in the knees. Imagine walking into a home and coming across something like this? Its like living in a dream world. Fill the mantel with all these dreamy little candles. I cant even handle it! I LOVE IT.

White Washed.


Something about this photo makes me tingle inside. Its the fireplace! The white washed floor boards! The wall nooks! I don't like the furniture and I'm 100% sure I could make this small space look better but... its got a great starting point. Next Christmas I'm going to ask for a fireplace, I think about them too much.

W Hotel.


whotels.com and click on the 'shop' section. What a fantastic website, Great stuff in the 'Home' section. Posted a couple of my favourites above. Love the little Joseph Candle Holder and Black candles are hard to find, but you can order them from the W site!

Mini Punch Lanterns.




Clicking through the Urban Outfitters website has me jonesing for these Mini Punch Lanterns. At only $12 (USD) a piece, I should make a trip into the store and pick up a couple. Super cute, would make any space super playful and beautiful. I'm actually a huge fan of lanterns and bird cages... empty bird cages.

Vllg.com



I know I know, I talk about this poster way too much. But its not everyday you see something so spectacular! Look, its now being produced in metallic tones. I wonder if this would look good, framed in white, hanging beside the original red/pink print? I think maybe? YES! or maybe too much?



vllg.com



Found it!


Props to Amy for letting me know where I can get my hands on this piece.
http://www.vandashop.com/product.php?xProd=1176&s=1, Victoria and Albert Museum shop online. Apparently this poster was introduced in 1939 as a World War II reproduction poster, which makes it even cooler. I wonder if I can try and order it? Shipping would be a nightmare.

Sketch ness.


Look at this. Stunning. Everything about this sketch book is fantastic.

Foliage.

I don't have anything to say about this except it makes me feel good looking at it. I love plants.

Personal Love.



I love coming across images where people post personal collages. I love seeing how people hang them, in what rooms and how they are arranged. I love looking at collages that don't have any order to them, however the OCD in me would make it hard to keep a random collage in my home. I looooovvvvvve it.

Keep Calm.


While clicking through Designspongeonline.com, I came across this image and look! Its the poster I posted a couple of weeks ago, Id like to get my hands on this one. Looks like its been printed in a different colour too, I have to look into this.
