I immediately fell in love with this gorgeous room!  You all know I can’t resist dark, dramatic walls.  And when paired with another glamorous rustic chandelier?  Well, lets just say I was in heaven!

I can only hope to pull together such a chic room someday! Swoon.

A Rustic Glam Light Fixture

I love the idea of mixing some glamour with rustic elements.  Maybe this isn’t a new idea, but definitely my style!  I recently came accross this gorgeous room.  Particularly, I loved the light fixture and think this could be an easy, yet stunning project. 

 

I found this lovely photo on decor8’s blog, originally from housetweaking.com.  What do you think?  I think I might have to give this a try myself!

Black Kitchen Inspiration

June 6, 2011 at 10:39 am (Inspiration) (, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , )

The kitchen needs some help. I can’t change the fact that it’s super small and always will be. But, I can give it a bit of a facelift.  This is in the works.  I already have all the plans in my head.  Yes, I want to paint the cabinets black.  Black.  It doesn’t matter how many people doubt me now, because I already have my mind set.  But, just to put other people at ease, I thought I would share Nate Berkus” gorgeous black cabinet kitchen!

 

Gorgeous, no?  I totally believe I can pull this off too. Stay tuned!

Antler Ideas

We have a lot of antlers. A lot.  I happen to love them.  And I love getting inspiration from out in the blog-o-sphere on how to incorporate them into a chic home.  Needless to say, I immediately fell in love with this idea.

 

 

 

This neat chandelier was seen on Material Girls’ blog where they posted about an adult tree house.  See it here:  http://materialgirlsblog.com/chicago/2011/06/01/hanging-out/

An Inspiring Blog

“Ultimately your home is so much more than just a decor style, it’s a life style,” as said by The Paris Apartment (a new favorite blog.)

Her quote comes from a clip of her book. I find inspiration not only in her quote and the rest of the clip of the book, but also in each and every post and photo she posts.  Check out these gorgeous rooms and then check out her blog here:  www.parisapartment.wordpress.com

Dining Room Inspiration

I found this dining room photo on flickr and just couldn’t resist showing you all.  This room is just awesome!  I love how elegant and glamorous it is, even when paired with the rustic wood table.  I love the mirrors on the table; what a simple yet glam way to dress the room up.  The wall paper makes the room bright, but still in the shades of gray that I love right now!

Table and Chair Love

December 29, 2010 at 2:38 pm (Inspiration) (, , , , , , , , , , , )

It has been forever and a day since a new post… I know!  But the new house is keeping me busy! 

Here is a table and chairs “set” that I love, mostly because it isn’t a set at all.  I like how the chairs are different colors, yet look so good together!
