interior inspiration : cutesy retro.

This has always been one of my favorite interior styles- lots of pretty vintage items, a bit of fifties and sixties kitsch, candy-like colors, and cute feminine touches. It's definitely a look I usually go for in my home.

interior inspiration : silhouettes.

Inspired by the bathroom I posted yesterday, I spent a portion of the evening seeking out more homes using silhouettes as wall art. It's no secret that I am rather obsessed with them (enough to have one tattooed on my arm), and now I think it's time to spread the love to a special wall of my home.

a stunning bathroom...

clean and modern spaces...

interior inspiration : just pretty places.

At the moment, I am just liking bits of random inspiration. No theme- just some good design and pretty places.

interior inspiration : festive reds.

'tis the season for an abundance of reds. Since it happens to be my favorite color, I tend to love seeing it everywhere. Bring it on!

interior inspiration : decorating for the holidays.

It's that time again for boxes of ornaments and trimmings to be unloaded. Last night we put on a holiday favorite and put up our oh-so pretty pink Christmas tree. Now come the lights, my vintage village, and various old decorations to be placed around the home. Christmas decorations make me feel like a child again and as terribly corny as it sounds, give me that warm feeling inside. (See also past Design is Mine decoration collections: one and two)
