inspiring rooms
if you haven’t noticed, i have been really into looking at design images lately. i simply can’t get enough! they are so inspiring… anyway, i hope you are enjoying the beautiful images as much as i am.
and, happy weekend! don’t forget that daylight savings time begins sunday morning—yay for longer days, more sunshine, and more walks with our little bug (sadie)!!!
lovely shades of gray and white. and a super cute puppy!
love the rustic look of the towel racks.
pretty whites and greens and a lovely ceiling in this fantastic kitchen work space.
pretty, pretty blue (LOVE it!) and great window shades. also loving the touch of yellow with the lemons.
beautiful entrance way.
fish bedroom. how great is that painting?!
lovely spacious kitchen.
guess what david’s working on…
i gave this to david for christmas. it’s a custom paint by numbers kit created by easy123art.com from a photo i submitted. its going to take a long while to finish since it is very detailed, but i will keep you posted on the progress. i’m going to wait to show you the photo it was created from until the very end (just for a dramatic effect). but i bet you can guess who the star of the painting is…i can hardly wait to see the final product!
paint, david, paint!
orla kiely
i am so excited about the new orla kiely line starting at target THIS sunday! her girly patterns and bold colors are so great- i have been coveting her stuff for years! i can’t wait to stock up on her fun new kitchen stuff!
look at all the great stuff- dinner and servingware, storage boxes, closet organization, table and kitchen linens and even an apron. don’t you think i could pull off wearing the apron as a dress? i think it’s so cute!
an end to a week of colors: the multi colors in plaids and stripes

a pretty journal to record your thoughts
striped fish
please pass the salt.
pink
color week is moving right along — only today and tomorrow to go. i hope you have been enjoying all the colors as much as i have. it sure has made me look around to see all the many colors in my world…hope it’s made you do and appreciate the same.

my pillow indulgence. i adore their pom-poms.
yellow means almost all things bees…
i have a slight obsession with bees. yellow wednesday is a good excuse to indulge…
happy hump day!

warm bee glow
breaking the 3 picture rule…AGAIN…i can’t help myself.
tart and sweet florida citrus
its a purple tuesday
purple and tuesdays make me think of mardi gras. i’m going to guess that your tuesday will be less festive than a day filled with nauseously sweet drinks, parades, and flashing girls, but i hope it’s a fun one anyway…

purple-topped turnips: one of my weekly farmer’s market purchases. looking forward to buttered turnips later this week.
blue
monday, monday…
i’m kicking off color week with one of my most favorite colors…BLUE. blue has been one of my favorites for as long as i can remember. it reminds me of so many things. like, the smurf s (arguably, one of the best cartoons of all-time), le creuset cookware, some of mine is a lovely shade called caribbean blue (others are a shade called dune, which is also a lovely color and completes the ocean theme i am clearly going for with this cookware… i even hope to get some flame pieces soon which will add the look of sun to my kitchen beach…sorry, i digress, le creuset excites me!), and some of my best friends chose pretty blue shades for their bridesmaids’ dresses, so it makes me think of all of them and their super fabulous wedding celebrations.
i am fond of blue.
wishing you a happy start to a great week! here’s some blue for you.
white chocolate mousse candle: a birthday present from a dear friend. believe me…it’s better than desert!
pretty boxes to hold my jewels

so, i got carried away with all my blue and on the first day of color week, i broke one of my two rules: i posted more than 3 pictures! will try to do better tomorrow…
thanks again to leya at curious bird for hosting this color celebration!
a week of colors
i’m excited and inspired. i’m going to participate in a week of color beginning on Monday, the twelfth. it’s been organized by another blogger and she has invited others to play along. here are the rules:
every week day of next week is dedicated to a color. i am going to take and then post photos daily that showcase the color of the day. there are no rules for the project, well, except for posting photos with the color of the day, but i have created some criteria that i will follow. i’m going to keep the photos to a minimum of three and i am limiting my focus to the colors found in my home. i am really looking forward to photographing some of the colors in my world and sharing them with you.
here is the color schedule:
monday: blue
tuesday: purple
wednesday: yellow
thursday:pink
friday: stripes or plaid
hope you enjoy looking at pictures, because there are going to be a lot!
