Things That Inspire Me!

Lately I've been gathering thoughts for a new project my husband and I will eventually start on.
One of my favorites things to do is gather random images that give me direction and inspiration.  I wanted to share with you images that have inspired us lately:


Painted wood floors with industrial elements is a favorite!
Aren't those light fixtures incredible?!  The orange with that teal chair... wow!







I'm obsessed with reclaimed vintage limestone fireplaces!






A. Tyner Antiques is a favorite for the perfect Swedish piece!
I can never get enough of chalky whites and grays!























Soft soothing rooms that are relaxing and inviting are my favorite!  I'm not into dark wood at all... for some reason it stresses me out, just like the color red.






I love beautiful art work, especially these two images!





Such a beautiful outdoor living space!

My two favorite styles of architecture: French and cape cod/beach bungalow






 
This beautiful Belgian kitchen is so warm and inviting!
I guess I don't completely dislike dark wood, I can handle it in small amounts; it sure grounds this room.


If you ever come across a picture that inspires you- keep it!  You never know when you'll need it for a future creative project!

Have a wonderful week!

My Amazingly Talented Sister!

I have the most darling and talented sister, her name is Dallas! 
The art this girl creates is incredible!  She is always surprising me with her interpretation on how she sees the world.
I can't seem to wrap my mind around how she is able to create what she creates!
It's so fun having such an incredible individual as a sister, she teaches me so much on how to think outside the box and to be more creative... she is the real deal!!  
I have a tendency to be stagnant when it comes to color choices, I'm a very traditional neutral person when it comes to creating spaces.
I'm always asking her, "What do you think about this space?"  
Her answer is, "IT NEEDS MORE COLOR!!"
My dream someday is to open a store together.  The Juxtaposition between both vision's of design would be so interesting!
You want some visual stimulation?  Check out her blog Painted Trees By Dallas!
Below is some of her art!




She's always exploring and is able to see beauty in the simplest things



Her interpretation of Stevie Nicks










"Where The Wild Things Are"















Pocahontas


Bob Dylan



... love ya Dal Dal!


Sorry for the fuzzy images, they don't do the art justice
Check out her blog to see more incredible art!
