Inspired Room: Lovely DIY Golden Heart Walls for a Little Girl's Room

We are on the hunt for a new rental, so I know I will be getting the decorating itch soon! Since Elisabeth will finally have her own room, I am thinking of something temporary to add lots of girly glam. Then, I saw what Holly of In the Fun Lane did to her little girl, Wren's room, and I so love it! The metallic touches will go great with the ones I have in Elisabeth's fabric garland I made.

Using these gold heart wall decals from Danielle and Paul at Urban Walls, she mapped out pretty little touches to the room for a lovely, mini-makeover. I am excited to see what else they have, perhaps something like this airplane for the boys room?

 

Inspired Interiors: Design Love Fest

I discovered the most amazingly beautiful blog the other day, Design Love Fest. Bri's home, photography and outfits are adorable. Take her home for instance. Everything I am craving at the moment, style, creativity, color, neutrals, natural light is present. There is an energy that is both relaxing, yet energizing. Eclectic, mid century modern, mint, aqua, pink and white, golden, metallic accents, black and white geometric patterns, poufs and funky chairs... Shall I go on?

Inspired Interiors: Charmaine's Lovely Living Room

Sadie and Stella features the gorgeous room of Charmaine's from My Best Friend Craig
The look is very clean, modern and designed, yet it is still comfortable and has a neutral enough background to easily be transformed when the fancy strikes.

 This greek key mirror was a craigslist find!

The hallway, what a perfect place for a striped wall.

I'm loving the look of layered rugs, and what a neat table. I'm loving the built in bookcases, the touches of lucite, and those matching chairs.

On it's own, the fabric on this seat is dated and kind of hideous, but it is perfect when paired with a seamless brass table and eclectic elements. I love the simple touches of hot pink in this room. Be sure to read the interview and to see the shocking before photo!

Inspired Interiors: Quiet, Styled Bedrooms

All of these rooms are all very different, yet they all still have a similar theme. Quiet colors, neutral backdrops, symmetry, simple drapery, a touch of patterns and colors that can easily be swept out for the seasons and trend changes. There are touches of upholstered pieces or additional throws and some very diy details, and yet everything is all very nicely styled and pulled together without looking forced. I wonder if I can achieve a similar feel in our room? Nester has some good pointers here.

Inspired Interiors: Albertina's "Fearless" Living Room

LALALALA-Love Albertina's home as featured on Little Green Notebook!! The colors, the elegance! Visit the link for source info.

One thing I am lacking is framed family photos. I saw this photo above and have been collecting metallic frames to create a similar vignette.So, I suppose I need a sofa table too! I want to be able to pick up a frame, trace the smile and hug it when I feel so moved. For me, I'm trying to distance myself from so much art, and get back to the basics of family photos.

I would love to paint a lovely portrait of my children.

Inspired Interiors: Justina's Jungalow

Probably one of my most favorite areas ever from Etsy's Get the Look interview. I have some natural toned wood that I keep thinking I need to paint, but I can appreciate it's natural state in that is DOES look good with mismatched pieces in a setting. So, I love figuring out that I am only semi-delusional in this regard.

Really though, the colors, patterns, ethnic prints. Adore it all. But the key is, mismatch doesn't work if it's only one or two pieces. Than it just looks like you can't match. No, you have to throw it to the wind. Keeping other elements natural and airy with a similar color scheme helps.  Also, I love the layering of rugs.
