Guest Post: It’s All in the Details

I’m excited to be guest posting today over at Roco Rennie

Rachael has been running an awesome series called “It’s All in the Details”, and I’m so flattered to be included in the group of bloggers contributing!  There have been some great posts, so if you haven’t been following, you better go catch up!  Hop over to see the five details in my home that put a smile on my face.

Fugly or Fabulous??? Bookmatched Stone

I decided to kick off the week with a ‘fugly or fabulous’ post for you to ponder.  The topic is bookmatched stone walls.  The first two examples are pretty tame, but just keep scrolling… hahahaha…

You can probably guess what I think this look resembles… bahahaha… but maybe some of you are much more mature than me.

So… what do you think?  Fugly or fabulous??? 

Inspiration File: Graphic Wall Pattern

I am completely taken with the mix of pattern in this living room.  It’s the home of Courtney and Scott Vincent decorated by Lisa Sherry, straight form the pages of the new Lonny.  That graphic wall pattern is hand painted, and I love love love it!

My Color Crush

Today I’m guest posting over at one of my favourite blogs, 10 Rooms

10 Rooms

Come on over to see what my all-time color crush is.

In the meantime… I’m still painting, and the white walls look amazing!  I’ll try to get some sneak peek pictures up in the next couple days!

Happy Mothers Day to Me…

I’ve mentioned how much I love painting.  So this weekend I’m treating myself… I’m painting my family room/kitchen area white!!!  Yay!  I’ve been craving white for about a year.  So goodbye boring beige.  Hello fabulous white! 

I have to give a HUGE shout out to my blog buddy Anne-Marie from 10 Rooms.  She did an online color consultation for me, and helped me to FINALLY choose the right white for my space.  Trust me, this girl knows her color.  Check out this post she did on choosing white.  If anyone out there is driving themselves crazy trying to get the perfect color for your home (like I was)… just stop right now and email Anne-Marie because she’s awesome.

And now, on to some fabulous white rooms…

OK… these ones are a little more ‘glam’ than my current lifestyle can handle… but beautiful just the same!

Maybe something like this - equally fabulous, but a little more attainable:

Happy Weekend Everyone!  I’m off to paint!

Inspiration File: A Pop of Red

This is the home of John and Vivian Bencich of Square Feet Studio.  It was featured on Design*Sponge, and I fell in love with the white backdrop and pops of red… plus I’ve always wanted a grand piano in the living room… just sayin…



Pretty fabulous, right!  There is more at Design*Sponge

A Fabulous Before & After

I love a good ‘before and after’, and I think this one by Sarah of Prairie Perch is totally worth sharing:

Great transformation, right???  That yellow wallpaper is awesome and I love how Sarah styled up the modern white cabinet.
If you haven’t started reading Prairie Perch yet, you should!  Here are some more great ‘after’ shots… this time of Sarah’s bedroom:
 
The headboard and feather wreath are diy’s.  Go read Praire Perch for details!
