Inspiring white interiors

Used to be the pages of Decorology was always bursting with images of white interiors. While I still and probably will always love white interiors, my love of color has blossomed over time.  Nonetheless, I thought it would still be nice to pay homage to my first love, white interiors. Enjoy!

This would be such a nice bedroom for guests or a vacation home.

So pretty but with a pup and perpetually muddy backyard this white floor would always be covered in paw prints!

If I thought our current home was our forever home I would probably paint the cabinets white - because white kitchens are by far my favorite!

Building bookshelves into kitchen counters is so handy and a great space saver

Rugs Rugs Rugs

Keeping the focus on floors these days, I'm pretty excited to show off a favorite of mine today. Antique and vintage rugs are a great way to add a little pattern and eye candy to the floor!

If you aren't sure of what type of rug to look for, Scandinavian rugs are great for pastel rooms. They tend to have lighter colors in them and the designs are beautiful!

Mixing and matching rugs are a great way to bring two spaces together. Using the same color options but getting different patterns or styles can help define a space but keep the natural flow of the room.

For those who love a lot of color and mixed patterns, using a rug with like colors can tie in a space. Moroccan rugs would be a great choice for this situation as they tend to have bright lively colors.

Dozens of photo frames, cushions and coffee table books - the necessity to every lounge room.

For those of you who love the simplicity and neutral colors, this is a great way to step out of your box and add a great pattern to the view! There are some amazing places that sell vintage rugs for great prices and they are great quality.

Furniture wishlist

So I don't have space for most of these beauties, but maybe one day I'll be able to add a few to my collection..

A color statement dresser.  I kid you not my dresser as a kid was extremely similar.  Like most of the furniture in my bedroom I assumed my grandfather had made it.  Being that the dresser was shared among four small children though, the dresser was pretty banged up and covered in stickers...

The french chic upholstered piece.  Works in so many spaces

This porcupine quill-framed mirror.  Need I say more?!?

The Scandinavian sideboard or console.  The mother of all clean design.

The bold print chair.  I don't care for the frame being painted blue.  But I'm loving all the bold upholstery I've been seeing.

The velvet chaise lounge.  What girl secretly (or openly) doesn't want one

Lovely living room potpourri

I am moving tomorrow and have been painting our new place for the last two days and I am EXHAUSTED. Starting fresh in a new place is exciting, but moving as an act is horrible. So, I won't be posting tomorrow, but want to wish everyone a great and hopefully much more relaxing weekend than I'll be having.
