Natural Minimalism

From our friend at The Paris Apartment:

Peacock Pavillions and Modello Designs

Designamour

*GASP*

Someday I will somehow re-creative this on a wall in a home.

Lovin' this Desk Alter

Desk Alter from http://into-the-dawn.blogspot.com/

Lovely bed with netting

I love the shabby, disheveled simplicity of this bed. I wanna sink right in!

Kitchen counter with tons of light - white and grey with natural accents...

Creativity Corner

Inspiration for a creativity space in my house. Gotta work on that... (image sharked from Modern Country)

Rustic

Rustic Kitchens from Style Files

I love this table




















And the idea for drawers, below, blows my mind for its simplicity and rustic beauty. I wonder if I could do something like that with old wine crates...

Vintage Love

Everything I love about vintage apartments is reflected in this picture:

High ceilings, huge windows, architectural character, tons of light, white-white-white, wood floors and soft casual furniture. Love it!







Picture courtesy of Domino - the best magazine ever. (HA! Actually got a source for once)

Another great image of inspiration

...again, from Urban Outfitters. What gives? Since when???

Urban Outfitters? Are you kidding me???

...If you don't believe me, then just click on the blog title above and it'll transport you directly to this magical place.

To be honest, most of their furniture is terrible faux-1960s-70s in all it's blah-ness. But amongst those blahs are these little gems:






















I'm positive I can make this platform, then just spend $100 on an awesome velvet cushion. Amazing!

How about this little beauty:






Just a mere $575. And taking into consideration how freakin' expensive furniture is these days, that's really not a bad price for how cool it is!

Beach Shack Love

Is this not the most perfect country kitchen EVER? It totally evokes a never ending summer at the lake. LOVE IT!

Where women create

I just got a new book called Where Women Create, which is basically a design book filled with inspirational spaces where women create whatever it is that their inner artist dictates. But I came across this picture of a studio space that I love for all its opulence. Picture is poached, of course. I need to get better about that...

Reese Witherspoon’s $6.9 Million Country House « Hooked on Houses

Holy crap - if this ain't the most amazing house EVER!!!! Reese Witherspoons house in Ojai

It almost makes me want to move to California!

Shabby Beauty

I really like the use of a round coffee table instead of the typical rectangle.

Hmmm - Thinking Scandanavian Lodge

I'm sooooo loving this white, lodgy picture with the rack. Can't tell what kind of an animal it is - maybe a reindeer?

And I seriously need to make slipcovers for my dining room chairs. Seriously. The caning is getting beat up, and I don't care for the pink fabric on the seats. Good inspiration!

Think Pink!

I love everything about both of these pictures...

No, of course I don't have a source. They came off of one of many blogs I look at on a regular basis. I'm a baaaaad journalist. :)

Lincoln Square

Another one of those wonderful, 100-year old buildings from Chicago's northside. I love the architectural character and huge windows.

White Zen

white washed simplicity

I soooo dig the white-wash, sun-faded look of rooms like this. They embibe a tranquil vibe.

Okay, seriously...

That site from the UK is kick ass! Holy inspiration! And searchable visual inspiration at that!
