Home : Luxurious Laundry

I have a love/hate relationship with laundry.  

I love the feeling of fresh, clean laundry neatly tucked away in it's proper place.  I love knowing that my staples are clean, my closet is complete and stocked with essentials for the week ahead.  

On the flip side, I strongly dislike the overwhelming pile of dirty laundry that quickly overflows from our laundry basket, overtaking precious floor space in the bedroom and glaring at me each time I pass by.  I also have negative feelings towards the hike I have to take in order to clean it.  It's a job - hauling loads of heavy jeans, damp towels and sweaters up two hills, down the stairs and into the slippery laundry room {it shares space with the complex's indoor pool}!!  Laundry is already a menial task - who wants to work for it?  {Not me.}

Regardless of my feelings and emotions towards my current laundry situation, I will say that I'm guilty of drooling over beautiful photos of well kept, beautifully organized and boldly colored laundry spaces.  Laundry rooms can be so luxurious these days!  

One day I'll own a home and beautify the laundry quarters, until then here are a few photos of inspiration....

What do you think??  Does your laundry room have a special flare to it??

Home : Hand Painted Walls

Have a room that's lacking that extra "pop"?  Paint it!

Paint is such an inexpensive way to transform a space and add a touch of "wow".  While giving a space a face lift through a change of color is nice, don't be afraid to think outside the box - think geometric patterns, stencils, two toned walls, or even creatively free hand something.  

Accent walls are perfect for large shapes and busy patterns, while two toned walls or faux textures are perfect for entire rooms.

Below are a few fun and creative examples of hand painted masterpieces.  Enjoy!

Delightful Design

Hi Friends!

I have some beautiful spaces to share with you today.  I'm working on a design project that has several rustic elements in it and in my search for inspiration, I stumbled upon these beautiful rooms.

{I love the rustic, beach feel to this room.  The clean lines of the coffee table mixed with the rustic wood end tables is so simple, yet so natural.  I would love to crawl up on that couch with a good book.}

{I absolutely love the moroccan feel of this room.  The rustic chandelier and the character of the rounded door mixed with the white and straight edged coffee table is just lovely.}

{This room is much more eclectic.  I LOVE the bold pillows, the tear drop lamp base and the gold accent table.  This space is bright and cheery.}

{I love the french feel to this room.  The gorgeous gold and white sofa mixed with the rustic coffee table is just stunning.  I also love the big wicker chairs at the dining table.  Not your typical furniture arrangement.}

Which room do you love and why?  I would love to hear your thoughts. Happy Tuesday!
