So Inspired

I love everything about the series of photos shown below from FullHouse. I am so inspired by the photos and cannot wait to actually call myself a decorator!

Furbish

Now I want this bedding from the FurbishStudioOnline store. Too bad it is almost three times as much as the other duvet set. I love everything at this online store. All the blogs are writing about it. Here are a few other items on my wish list:

I would get my wing chair reupholstered in this Chaing Mai fabric.

New Bedding

I am going against my level of comfort and ordering this bedding. Normally I go for more simple bedding, but I am intrigued by this duvet. I decided to be daring and order it. I think it will look good with my wall color and lamp. I hope it works out!

Dorm Crush

It has been ten years since I graduated from VA Tech and I never lived in a dorm, but, I think this dorm room is pretty darn cool. I would live in it now! I get nostalgic every year at this time, thinking about all the college kids packing up and heading back to school. I will openly admit that college was the absolute best time of my life. I would go back to college in a heartbeat. My niece will be a freshman at VCU this fall. How neat would it be if I could decorate her dorm room!

The Future

Today I will start carving out a little corner in my house all for my own. A small corner in my playroom will soon be where I will set up my own desk. This fall, I will be pursuing a degree in interior design. I have wanted to do this for years but have not had the time due to my three young children. Now that two of my kids will be in school full time, I think the time is right. I am excited and hopeful I will have my own business in the near future! Of course I can't stop thinking what my little corner will look like.

Love the look of this set-up! I only wish I had the space.

May have to get this Parson's desk from WEST ELM.

An EAMES chair would be my dream! Probably not in the budget though.

Federalist Mirror

I snatched this mirror out of my parents laundry room. It was hung behind their hot water heater, collecting dust. I decided to spray paint it antique gold. It turned out great except for the fact that I cracked the convex mirror when I was putting it back together. I was pretty bummed about my mistake. I plan on getting a new mirror for it this week. The mirror looks perfect in my dining room. Thanks again Dad for letting me steal from your house!

Pink Please

I have been so enthralled with Tia Zoldan's living room below that I now want to incorporate pink into my living room. I look at pictures of this room several times a day, wondering how I can incorporate pink with a limited budget. I think I will start with pillows made from pink chevron fabric. I may also make a new cover for my upholstered coffee table. If I could scrape some money together I would get a new slipcover made for my wingback chair. There are so many ways to use pink, evident by all the beautiful interiors below.
