dwellings and décor

Loving these blue and neutral soft pretty spaces from last week! I have been really into table settings and work spaces and I was happy to come across some of these beauties below.

I actually had a really hard time choosing these images from the past week. I had so many to choose from and so many different color schemes going on. I eventually chose a few of my very favorite spaces and found others that looked nicely with them. The sky blue with plums and black never felt like it was competing together and so thus helped me make my final decision to choose these amazing rooms!

This week has been a little hectic so its quite nice to relax to the thought of spending time in these calm and soothing spaces.

Aahhh… So peaceful. I could definitely clear my thoughts and take a nice little nap in those pretty bedrooms. What great spaces where I can kick up my feet and chill out. :)

I am really digging on these super dark spaces and pretty berry toned interiors this week.

That apple arrangement is absolute genius. It would be so pretty to do that for an autumn party get together and the best part is you can eat the apples afterward!

Thanks for stopping by this week and have a Happy Halloween tomorrow!

So many pretties this week!

I think my favorite thing I saw this week was this umbrella hanging above the bed on the window (#3) and this amazing photo found over at the beautiful Callie Grayson.

Hope your weekend is filled with beautiful things. Thanks for stopping by!

One of my favorite color combos is rust paprika reds with natural greens. They would look warm and lovely together in a room or monochromatic adjacent to one another. Adding light natural wood or beige tones is also a nice compliment. Enjoy the inspiration!

Have a great weekend!

I apologize for the late Weeks Best this week. I needed a little break yesterday and I am glad I did it because I feel tons better. This week I am loving tartan plaid, all shades of moody grays and a delectable collection of berry tones. Enjoy!

How is your weekend going so far?

Loving these neutral and soft blue spaces. I think it could be pretty to have a house where there were soft browns, beiges and white in one room and the adjacent room had pretty blue walls with natural woods and dry branches. I think there could be a really nice flow and bring warmth and balancing it with cool. I didn’t realize this until I had these rooms together lined up like this.

How do you like to create a flow between spaces? Do you have any tips to share?

As I mentioned on my other blog Design Lovely I am having issues with my google reader so I am not able to give you my normal Weeks Best post. I instead have piled together my recent favorites from Tumblr.

Apparently I have been loving a lot of pink interiors and I see some blue and green in there as well. I probably collect pink interiors because I know I will never have a room with pink in it unless I have a baby girl. Oh! Or maybe if I had a really chic office that was all my own then I could do some fun pink drapery. I don’t know though because then I would hardly ever see my husband. :)

That reminds me of a time when I had a cute little studio in Portland Oregon and I moved into an older building and it came with Pepto bismol walls which was quite unpleasant. I had a sage green paint swatch on that wall for months. I went on vacation for a week and when I came back I found my whole place painted in that pretty green I had picked out. Right then and there I knew I found a keeper! :)

Hope you all have a great weekend!
