Inspiration: paper + fabric craftiness and groupings of collections ...

I am excited to be designing a window instillation this coming week. We are making it spring-themed and over the top - with bicycle and basket, floral-inspired garlands, and sprouting flowers ... Pictures to come soon ...

For inspiration, I am loving this handmade flower installation by Ashley Meaders, in which she used both fabric and paper to create the hanging centrepiece for a ceremony. Also, these heart pillows she made for use as props for a wedding shoot are adorable ...



Crafty lady and graphic designer by day and night Debee Campos collaborated to make these pretty cards (one is shown below). More cards along with her beautiful photography can be seen on her blog ...


Loving these interior shots of Liza Giles' home, especially the groupings of collections in every room! She is senior stylist for the Designers Guild London ...

Can you tell that I'm a bit obsessed with looking at pretty interiors lately? (All images from Shootspaces.)

la tartine gourmande : at home.

I love this peek into the home of food/travel blogger extraordinaire Bea of La Tartine Gourmande. So bright and colorful. More photos on Bea's Flickr photostream.

a quiet thursday.

Sorry for the quiet day here. I have a bit of a cold and have been resting most of the day. Just dropped in to say that I have done major updates to my Interiors flickr set filled with a ton of inspiring home designs. Enjoy and I'll be back tomorrow!

corners of bloggers' homes.

Lately I spend a large portion of my time online looking at corners of people's homes. Few things are more inspiring than taking peeks into the apartments and houses of others, seeing how each person creates a space that is their own. So it is no surprise that I completely adore seeing the homes of my fellow design bloggers, the people who have strong eyes for all things aesthetically pleasing. Here are a few of my favorite corners from the homes of Holly of Decor 8, Ez of Creature Comforts, Grace of Design Sponge, Victoria of sfgirlbybay, and Anna of Door Sixteen.

brocade home : interiors.

I would love to know who does the room designs for the Brocade Home catalog. Every time that I receive my copy in the mail I am in awe of how beautifully designed every space is. I love seeing all the creative touches in each room: framed letters and numbers, tea sets placed around bedrooms, shelves filled with monochrome pieces, frames and mirrors strung on cables, etc. So inspiring and inventive. Here are some of my favorites from the recent catalog.

magazine inspiration.

I spent last night browsing through through home magazine websites, getting lost in beautiful interiors. One of my favorite things in the world is looking at photographs of well-designed spaces- I could easily do it for hours. I thought I would share some of them for a bit of Friday inspiration. Here are some of my favorites from Domino, Martha Stewart Living, Elle Decor, and O at Home.

making it lovely : new photographs.

I am absolutely crazy about Nicole Balch's home, so I always get quite excited when she posts new photographs over on Making it Lovely, her fabulous home design blog. These are two of the new photos she posted yesterday and I just love them (see more of them here).
