Pink Flamingos make me happy…

image

Maybe because my current color crush is coral but the peachynpink hues of this bird has me loving flamingo stuff.

image
This is basically what I think of when flamingo yard decor comes to mind. I think of mid-century styled homes, manicured lawns, sunny skies and palm trees.

image
Then I think of pool parties with ice cream stations, pink lemonade stands, water balloons , umbrellas to hide from the sun and floatation devices to splash around in….

Spring Cleaning: Style your bedroom surfaces like the Blush Shop..

image

If you don’t have room to hide things and need to place them on dresser or table surfaces, take a cue from how they style. First, you need various heights which makes it visually interesting versus everything flat. So don’t be afraid to add a vase or bust or something unrelated. Use books to give height, pretty bowls, plates and teacups for jewelry, apothecary jars and decorative hat boxes.

image

Second, fold garments like they’re done in a department store. Sweaters are bulky and they can stretch when hung, so  try folding some in like colors. Actually color coding everything will look more polished. Add scarves & jewelry of same colors.

Love how they added collars to the necklace holders. Michael’s sells velvet/felt ones for under $12. And they alwayd have 40% off coupons in the paper. They also sell necklaces and fun ring holders as well.

image

While going through Pinterest I noticed trend on my DIY board. There are so many things you can paint around the home…some unexpected to spruce up things up and add color. I especially dig Ikea’s gold leaf transformation of a basic chair. Check out my Pinterest to go to the sites of the projects.

Restoration Hardware has some of the most industrial inspiring spaces…

How frigging gorgeous is this. I mean…what! I have always been fond of the symmetrical showrooms and catalogue spaces. This is by far the best. So dramatic and dreamy.

I was first drawn to the architectural details of the Boston Flagship store. The windows and molding is breathtaking. I have blogged many times on arched windoes including this post on ways to dress them with curtains. The arches in this Moroccan post were everything but if I could have the ones from here in my living room, I’d be a happy camper.

This man cave is everything. The lighting is the focal point. See more awesome images from the store on my girl Beth’s blog over on My Chic My Way.
