Some inspiration from my favs….
My girl Adrienne asked how do you organize mags? I keep mine in two big baskets that sit on the floor in front of my coffee table from pier 1. I started to buy more but don’t want to aide my obsession so yeah. Lol. Come closer. *looks around*… *whispers* don’t tell anyone but I also own tv dinner stands. (Don’t judge as gran’ma bought them for me when I moved on my own 8 years ago). They come really handy. Not for eating but to pile more mags on, the ones I’m currently reading. But they stay in rotation for about 2 months. I eventually cut out or snatch what I want and toss them or give them away.
Alexandra decided to use her lucite table for something other than what she previously used it for. I love all the little detials to make her vanity area a cute spot. here you can read all about it. I also blogged about my admiration for her home before here. Here are some other girlie vanity ideas…
Then leave it to my girl Beth to have me blurting out “girl stop” & “wow”. It happens sometimes moreso with jewelry than interiors but this post had a ton of things I would rock….
Interiors + recipes = Tiffany’s blog. She takes such pretty photography of her process. I LOVE to cook and go to my parents to do so 3x a week. Though I dislike grocery shopping and finding ingredients I’m unfamiliar with, I love trying new recipes. To have pics of the step by step process is important to me & my tastebuds that water after looking. Here is her recipe to espresso chocolate chip brownie cookies. Thank me later…
This pretty image came from Londa’s site. Red is great paired with earth tones like camel…
Betcha you haven’t seen baby furniture like this! Linda finds the most interesting things. Here is where that came from…
Lastly Nicole asked if hotel decor or vacation plays a big factor? I personally strive for affordable especially if I’m only in the hotel to rest my head. That said, it has to be visually pleasing to my eyes. I can’t do dated ugly hotels. It has to be photo worthy. That’s part of the thrill and fun for me when I travel. It’s even why I have a series Hotel Indulgences which I will add to soon. I always like when bloggers do link love posts so figured I’d play copy cat. It shows support to those who give and hopefully you’ll find new blogs you didn’t know about…

I love mood lighting and what a chic option to keep the little one entertained….

Celeb Homes: Ivanka Trump
Complete opposite of her dad’s aesthetic, Ivanka has penthouse decorated with nice finishings but with a sense of liveable comfort. One may ask why disrupt the view of the floor to ceiling windows with a dresser but I think it’s a way to keep some privacy…
The monochromatic room is gender neutral and calming. Love the wallpapered ceiling…
This metallic mural is a pretty backdrop for the foyer…
I guess when I think of Ivanka, I wouldn’t envision this as her workspace. I do like the bold hue of the desk. And the cubed bookshelving is nicely styled and functional.
Picking up where the desk left off is a grid styled gallery wall of the same color. I like it a lot.
Color Schemes: Chartreuse, Navy & White…
I know this is similar to the post I did on sour apple and blueberry hues but…since neon colors are all the rage right now, I figured I’d show one paired with a neutral…

Hot Air Balloon kids party & decor ideas for a nursery…
hot air balloon party by designindulgences on polyvore.com
On my bucket list, I want to experience a hot air balloon ride. I’m all for unique childrens parties and I think this theme would be cute. Recently I went to Michael’s and in their dollar section they had several hot air balloon items including note cards and invitations. Those random bits can easily be used as party favors for guests…

I also think it’s cute to have as a voyage theme. Typically we see airplanes used for bon voyage themes but hot air balloons are indeed a mode of transportation so why not take on this route versus the typical? You can add luggage trunks and maps or globes to add to the overall effect and still keep it child friendly…
Beyonce bought Baby Blue Ivy a $3,500 lucite crib!
Y’all know how much I love most things acrylic and to think babies can lay their heads on a “clear crib” is crazy fab. Beyonce supposedly bought one with her mom Tina in November for $3,500…chump change to her. I’d love to see how fab this 2,200 sq ft nursery looks. But considering wedding pics never slipped out into the media, I doubt highly we’ll ever see B.Ivy’s room, let alone her for a long long time.
More details on the lucite crib: Nurseryworks is a pioneer in children’s design with the first and only crib in the market to be made entirely of acrylic, the Vetro crib is a unique and sophisticated sleeping spot. The design features beautiful curved edges and three level mattress heights. So modern day decoristas, would you want your child sleeping in mahogany wood or acrylic? {Images via D magazine & US Weekly}
Camping Inspired: Interiors with tent-like drapery…
{via My Chic My Way}
I have been compiling images that have tent like inspiration. Perfect for kids who love the outdoors and camping and fun things of that sort. Perfect for adults because drapery creates intimate areas and a ton of drama especially in rooms with high ceilings.
A,B,C,D,E,F,G….decorating with letters…

This piece of furniture is so beautiful to me. The craftsmanship and detail of it makes for a very interesting focal point in the kids room. The COWHIDE brings out all the brown tones of the console. A nice approach to a kid’s space without being too cookie cutter.
When I found this pic on Pinterest, I was more in awe at the story behind it. Each guest for the baby shower was assigned a letter that they needed to bring. Obviously you have to make sure you have at least 26 guest or be prepared to purchase the ones you need afterward. But I thought that was a cool idea.
This looks like the cardboard 3 dimensional letters Michael’s and Jo-Ann Fabrics sell. Combine that with craft or wrapping paper the letters were traced on and you can recreate this look.
Chevron Walls, Chevron Ceilings…
I should be on Pinterest’s payroll. Real talk. This image above was found there and I love everything about it. It’s simplistic in a way but the charcoal wall makes the beige art pop. And if I’m not mistaken, the art has CALLIGRAPHY on it. Romanticizing rooms with CHANDELIERS is always key especially in a bedroom. Soft plush rugs and carpeting gives the space a warmth feeling. Making the ceiling a focal point, something that is usually forgotten in design, makes this room epic for me. Completely unexpected. The chevron pattern is repeated in the two chairs as the artwork is repeated in the pillow. Repeating design elements makes things cohesive.

This gender neutral nursery is beautiful. I am all for baby rooms not looking cookie cutter and I really like the color scheme of yellows, grays and white…
