I'm so glad purple has been getting the love it deserved recently!


I'm leaning towards B because it feels a little warmer to me, and more realistic to maintain. I'm open to persuasion though!

Gorgeous interiors from the West

I've decided to turn a rainy, gloomy day to a sunny one by scrounging up a collection of light hearted and bright interiors. I have a feeling that even if you live in a sunny locale you'll still enjoy these. What image is your favorite - what about it makes is so?

Take note that all of these rooms are relatively clutter-free, a characteristic required for a light hearted feel

This was actually a garage the owners turned into a loft! I love the chair (which I believe is from Anthropologie), and the purple accent throw.


love the rustic chest at the foot of the bed


A salvaged bench makes a pretty, one of a kind seat.

I used to have a fireplace and had I been able to find large candles like that I would have put them in mine!

I have a soft spot for mismatched chairs

Love this photo - sadly this poster has become a bit cliche.


Big fan of open kitchen shelves - if you can keep them tidy that is!

Bright and sunny houses

When will spring be here for good??! I can't take much more of this winter. These images make me look forward to warmer weather even more!

Love the long media console

I'm a fan of gray couches - it means you can change your colors around a little more.



...gorgeous hardwood floors



what a daybed!

An amazing interior stylist...

The work of Lucyina Moodie really blew me away, and I'm really excited to share it with you. She also does product styling and people styling, so her work is really diverse and her talents span pretty wide. Doesn't this just seem like a dream job?

Gorgeous idea for loose flowers and old bottles

I'm definitely stealing this idea whenever I get around to making pillows - the ribbon around them is great!



I love the books on the stairs which almost act as a very short rail - I swear my parents have that dresser...




...so relaxing

This bedroom is making me miss summer a little




Gorgeous colors! I love fuchsia!
