First and foremost, confession...I literally just put on my "inspiration tunes" playlist so I could write this blog post.

Ok, now that we're over that...

Lately I've been in a bit of a slump. Well, it's weird... I am having such a heightened level of inspiration lately, so much in fact that I can't focus on anything. I want to do this, and that, and then THIS...

It's been centered mostly around my new apartment. I've seriously moved THREE times this year. Only crazy people do that. All this moving though has had me feeling very unsettled lately. I just want to be settled already. I want to come home and not have a box that I have to unpack from my first move. I want the curtains up. I want a fruit bowl that's actually used. And don't even get me started on the artwork I have leaning against the wall just waiting to be hung up. (They're currently gathering a layer of dust...and not all too happy about it.)


I love how "settled in" this living room feels. Maybe it's because the books aren't perfectly staged. And the pillows are all smushed and not in that "karate chop" way which is actually a pet peeve of mine. I also really dig this grey couch. The color mostly. I'm shopping for a grey couch right now to replace my French settee which is featured here.


More than anything else, this living room inspired me the most. I have my own things I'd change, but the combination of minimal, streamlined mid-century inspired furniture, and mix of textiles makes me wish this were my living room. Or rather my "right now" living room, as I know in about 3 months time, I'll tire of my current settings and want to change everything again.


I've also been really into baskets lately! (Ahh I'm turning into my Mom!) Also succulents. Wait, I've always been into those. I'm a little confused as to why there's a butter knife on that succulent, but hey...not judging.


I normally wouldn't be into this room. It's a little too dark for my personal taste, but something about all the details resonated with my current state of interior design inspiration. For some reason this bedroom inspired me to buy a large Kevin Russ print for my bedroom.

What sort of rooms have been inspiring you lately?

Ooo...and all these images (plus literally hundreds of others) are from my Interior Design boards on Pinterest! I have a board for bedrooms, kitchens, dining rooms, and outdoor spaces!

When decorating one of my favorite ways to keep things interesting is height. For instance Adding in a tall book shelf, hanging art higher than at the average eye line, or full length drapery panels. Along with these tricks I have recently fallen in love with hanging plants. This is such a great way to bring the outdoors in (another rad design element) as well as spice up a room with different textures. I also love this for small spaces, because when you start using the ceiling and walls to decorate you clear up more floor space for other things. Take a look down below at some inspiration below and let us know what you think. Now that we have a creative way to display our house plants, we just have to find a way to keep them alive!

If you're anything like us you have somewhat of a problem staying organized. With the amount of clothes that come through our vintage studio, it can quickly start to look like a tornado came through the place (albeit a lovely tornado of pretty vintage frocks!)

Since that can create a bit of a hectic work environment we like keep pictures of pretty and clean workspaces fresh in our minds. A clean space is a productive space, right? Take a peek at our Workspace + Studio Pinterest board for some decorating and organizing ideas for your work studio or home office. Off we go to move around our clutter :)

As you may notice from a previous wallpaper post, we love a good statement wall. We have been opening our eyes to bolder home decor lately and we are totally blaming Pinterest. We used to think that dark paint would close in a space and make it cave like, but we have totally changed our minds. If done right a dark paint can create a sexy and modern look. It can be done with one accent wall, but we really like the look of it in the whole room. Take a look below at some of our favorite inspiration photos via Pinterest and let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

It's no secret that we are floral fanatics when it comes to clothing, but we have recently fallen in love with the print for our walls. Say what?! Yes, floral wallpaper that doesn't scream grandma lives here. We have found some amazing inspiration photos via Pinterest and wanted to share a few of our favorites with you. We like a bold statement like this suits a smaller room better, like a closet, bathroom, entryway, or laundry room. You can find fun wallpapers like these below at stores like Urban Outfitters and various other home decor stores. Would you ever consider using a printed wallpaper in your home? Tell us in the comments below!

As the summer comes to a close we were thinking what better way to celebrate the end of the season than with a backyard party. Since we don't necessarily have a big back yard to ourselves we will have to live vicariously through these inspiration photos we collected from Pinterest. Do you enjoy having get togethers at your house? Make sure to leave us to tell us in the comments, we would love to hear your outdoor entertaining tips!
