I bought the new Style at Home magazine the weekend and I poured over every page. It was their decorating issue and I loved all the beautiful artwork, spring vignettes, and coffee table and mantel styling ideas. I'm feeling more inspired... despite the terrible weather we've been having. I hate complaining about the weather but seriously Mother Nature? It's been raining forever and the forecast calls for rain this week until Saturday. I kid you not. I wish I were more like these people.

Lately, I've been thinking about how my own tastes have evolved. I've always loved white spaces but more and more I'm so in love with white paired with a healthy pop of pattern and color! It screams spring and more importantly - fun!
Here are some of my favorite colorful spaces.
house beautiful
Don't they just make you happy? I've been feeling to need to inject some color and fun into my own place so here is my own feeble attempt to bring this look into my own home. The hallway in the entrance needed a little something so I framed a piece of pretty fabric. It actually sort of looks like a watercolor. Sort of:)
Hard to take a good photo in the little space!
Have a great week everyone!
Gorgeous rooms. That image with the pink flowers and gold sculpture on the wall has been a huge inspiration for my sisters apartment. I'm actually working on something based on that wall art. Let's see how it comes out.
ReplyDeleteThat yellow chair makes me smile! Your framed fabric is so pretty and what an inexpensive way to add a pop of color and pattern.
ReplyDeletei am dying over that little girls room... oh happy day for sure!
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing!
Love your framed fabric! I've been thinking about doing that too...now I just need some pretty fabric:)
ReplyDeleteWell my day is off to a bright start! I love room with the white sofa... Gorgeous. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThis was a great post! So bright and cheerful. Sucks that you are getting so much rain... it's finally sunny in SK!
ReplyDeleteWhat great inspiration pictures. Love every one of them!
ReplyDeleteI will trade you some sunshine for rain. We haven't had any precipitation in NM since January! You don't realize how much you miss a rainy day every once in awhile until you don't have them.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful inspiration today Jane, I love the 3rd image. The coffee table is amazing!
Send some of that rain down to Texas! Those are beautiful spaces. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI am in complete agreement. I love the white and bold colour combo. I also feel your pain with this non-existent spring.
ReplyDeleteI love the first image with all the gold and then the black and white carpet! Wow!
ReplyDeleteI love this post and those rooms!!!
ReplyDeleteLove all the bold color on white. It's just so happy!
ReplyDeleteI just got the June issue on the mail last week but haven't had the time to sit down and look through it yet. Can't wait!
ReplyDeletePS - Oh. and I know what you mean about the rain...we've been getting it for forever too! :S
Rain, rain, go away...and just *forget* the second half of the song!!! (c: But I dare anyone to look at those cheerful and colorful rooms and not feel at least a little bit happy! And your trip to the vintage shops completely had me drooling...I need to go now, too!
