Gorgeous inspiring images from my favorite blogs

I thought I'd pick up where I left off and continue with installments of "Favorite Images from my Favorite Blogs." I started this feature because I realized that as a blogger, I rarely had the time to peruse the blogs that inspired me to start blogging, or that I'd discovered while blogging. I hope you enjoy and that it ads a little brightness to your holiday weekend!...


(blogs featured in no particular order)


To begin, images from Pink Wallpaper

...no words...
again, no words...

I really like this chair - which I think is from Anthropologie...but I just don't know if I'd have the discipline to keep everything else in the room complementary


Next, a newly discovered blog for me- Loftlife Magazine

Liking the touches of glamour pared down with clean lines in this bedroom


Have you ever tried arranging your books by color like on this shelf?

Last but not least, Deco & Design



All these images are so serene...

Hope you enjoyed these and have a great holiday weekend!

Anthropologie's inspiring lookbook!

Anthropologie has a very new online lookbook for the home. The styling is really inspirational - I love the staging in the master bedroom and the guest bedroom.

So bright a beautiful. I think this bedroom displays a great use of color - surprisingly, the white bedding alone satisfies my love of white.

I also love the guest bedroom - it's making me want to buy new bedding! Too bad my wallet is on lock down. The headboard and chandelier are gorgeous too.

The look book interface has little clickable snippets for design tips and links to more.

I don't know if I could handle the green wall permanently - but it's really refreshing here.


We've seen this chesterfield and the reclaimed wood coffee table before - but I just can't help drooling over it a little more!

Gorgeous interiors from the West

I've decided to turn a rainy, gloomy day to a sunny one by scrounging up a collection of light hearted and bright interiors. I have a feeling that even if you live in a sunny locale you'll still enjoy these. What image is your favorite - what about it makes is so?

Take note that all of these rooms are relatively clutter-free, a characteristic required for a light hearted feel

This was actually a garage the owners turned into a loft! I love the chair (which I believe is from Anthropologie), and the purple accent throw.


love the rustic chest at the foot of the bed


A salvaged bench makes a pretty, one of a kind seat.

I used to have a fireplace and had I been able to find large candles like that I would have put them in mine!

I have a soft spot for mismatched chairs

Love this photo - sadly this poster has become a bit cliche.


Big fan of open kitchen shelves - if you can keep them tidy that is!

In love with pale, beautiful, and serene aqua blues...

I don't think we need much explanation here...but soft blues, greens, aquas, and seafoams are the pinnacle of calm, pretty, and serene. I don't like to "pick" a favorite color, but light blue is definitely up there!

A gorgeous apartment!

I watched the movie "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry" a few weeks ago with a friend and was surprised at the gorgeous apartment/studio of Alex, Jessica Biel's character. The apartment has an eclectic feel with some traditional elements thrown in. The walls are painted light yellow, light blue, and are covered in paintings and photography. My clothes are nowhere near nice enough to hang on an open rack, but I like the look, especially with the exposed brick wall. I also like how the bed was visually separated by two curtains hanging at each end corner.

Anthropologie is having a very, very generous sale on great stuff!

Anthropologie is usually out of my price range, but I still can't help but look from time to time. I often check the sale section of their website, and boy do they have some deep discounts on some yummmmmy stuff. Here are some of my favs.



Wouldn't these make the cutest outfit? I love the shoes especially, and they're on sale for $59.95!!






Embroidered lamp shades for $39.95...sweet


I adore this hairpin wallpaper. It's usually $168 per roll, but now it's $69.96!
