A little visual inspiration for a Wednesday morning..  It is funny how a group of images can inspire my creativity..  The soft color and texture makes my mind race with possibilities..

 

Sometimes you just need to escape to a little beach house for some R and R.  I love all of the natural textures and white mixed with that pop of color...

Happy weekend!

Oh my... this space makes everything better..  I am going to vent a little... so please forgive me..

Please please everyone remember that every site and every blog has a person behind it or people.  Real people!  People who are hurt by anything rude or inappropriate that you send around about them. Anywhere.  Especially via email, these come right to the inbox- right here on my computer {hello}!  If you are going to take the time to write something and hit the send or post button you should at the very least sign it and realize that I will have a way to contact you maybe even with your very own email address.  So once again if you don't have anything nice to say please do not say anything at all, because to me and so many of us this is all very personal!  Be nice, there is no reason not to!

Okay now- is this room not totally amazing?  I love the color change on the walls I love the soft lines of the linen on the sofa and the combination of textures and pattern in the pillows.  This makes me happy!

Is this not an amazing space?  I love the texture of the brick with the curved lines over the windows.  Such a wonderful detail.  The fresh clean lines of the furnishings are a great way to offset the rustic ceiling in the space.  

It seems an odd thing to be inspired by just interior design photos.  I love so many things and there are so many things that inspire.  Don't you agree?  I love the texture and the color combos in these pictures, those types of ideas carry through into design ideas and take shape in interiors.  Just some food for thought.  What inspires you?

Sometimes it is so hard to explain the importance of texture in design, it is such a necessary thing and I think it can often be missed.  The wood on this wall is just the beginning in this space but it is one that stands out.  I love that mixed with the rug and the cocktail table.  It makes us feel like a lot is going on even though the colors are limited here.  

Do you do texture in your home?  If so I would love to hear how you add it in to your design.

 

I love this simplicity of the white and grey in this home.  The greenery just adds to the simple beauty here- sometimes I wonder if we try to hard on the exteriors when it could be so simple and so beautiful.  

Wishing you a wonderful start to yet another weekend!

I love the texture of a brick wall with the texture peeling away.. 

 What about you? 

 Would you show it if you could?  

Oh my!  This is exactly what I need- iron doors, linen slipcovers and all of that great texture.  

Oh how I wish I was spending a lazy morning somewhere like this today..

But it is off to meet a client to select tile and stone and then back to designing a few up coming projects to be presented next week.  

 

Grey and lavender is a combination I don't think we see enough of.  I just love the soft combination!

This is a great way to treat an offset mantle also- they can always be so difficult.  

Happy Thursday already, I am not sure where the week disappeared to but thank goodness it is almost the weekend again!
