I came across this ceremony venue photo and felt compelled to make a seaglass inspired wedding collage. It’s the perfect inspiration for May in Florida since it’s spring but it’s starting to feel like summer. These happen to be my favorite colors too so naturally this could be my wedding! : )

I’ve been loving black & white so much recently… I’m considering painting the new baby’s room white. Feels weird to think about white walls on purpose instead of a color, we shall see! Here are some lovely black & white interiors for some decorating this lovely Thursday.

In case you missed it last week, I shared that we’re expecting a new member in our family in September! I’ve started my initial hunt for baby room inspiration but I’m trying to wait until I find out if it’s a girl or boy before I get totally obsessed. I’ll start out with boy rooms because honestly… I have a feeling it’s another girl. I’m surprised almost every photo I pick out has a modern crib. I have a white Jenny Lind crib in the attic so I’m not sure if I’d actually splurge for a new crib or maybe funk up the one we have by painting it a metallic gold or something… we’ll see how the budget plays out.
And now for a few more girlish baby rooms… since a girl is what I’ll probably be planning for. : )

I finally finished my continuing education units for my Florida interior design license yay! I always wait until the last minute and then I feel like I’m doing online classes non stop… or for about 20 hours. The most annoying part is that you don’t even have to submit them anywhere, but rather have to keep them on file *in case* you get audited by the state. But alas they are finished and I now have more time to scour the web for cuteness!
My photography partner Chrissy and I are headed to Jamaica to photograph a destination wedding in a week and a half, so I have all kinds of island flavors on my mind! I love interiors with a coastal flare, whether it’s classic shabby chic look or nautical or even clean & fresh. Here are some great coastal images I came across on the web.
I’ve been so attracted to white interiors with touches of black lately! So fresh, so clean.
Florida weather has been pretty perfect for the last week, cool enough for a fire in the pit at night, but warm enough during the day to feel perfectly comfortable. I’m sure by now everyone has pinned this image… not sure if it’s the lighting or the actual space that is so attractive, but it’s just so cute.
It inspired me to put together a little collage of pieces that would help make this look in real life! Who wants to get together for a dinner party out back? : )

I always remember my Dad complaining about taking down any wallpaper in our house when redoing the walls in a room, so I usually thought of wallpaper in a negative way… until I worked for a residential design firm. We usually specified wallpaper for at least one room in a project whether it was a powder room, laundry room, office or bedroom, or any room really. I grew to love wall coverings, even if they were as simple as a neutral raffia texture. I suppose that with the types of clients we had, they didn’t have to worry about physically taking the paper down themselves. : )
It’s fall! This time of year we’re all surrounded by pumpkins and fall decor, despite the fact that I live in a place where nature doesn’t really reflect the seasons. I would say orange probably isn’t most people’s top pick for their interior color scheme, but it can be unexpectedly unique. I found all of these images on Decor Pad.
You know, I find it interesting how personal style develops when it comes to interior design. Before I went to design school, I loved anything in Coastal Living Magazine. I loved beachy interiors with slipcovers and cottagey looking furniture.
When I was in college, whether influenced by the urge to fit in or an actual attraction, I was interested in retro mid-century modern… anything like this.
After working at a transitional interior design firm for over four years, my tastes were honed from being surrounded by classic design and furniture. I learned the basics of good design — draperies must have a 1/4″ break, waterfall skirts are my favorite on a sofa, I could go on and on. At that job I was surrounded by interiors like this.
Now, I find my taste is somewhere between all of these… I appreciate and love classic pieces but enjoy a little bit of funk. I love textures, industrial elements and surprisingly to myself, neutrals. It’s funny how what you think you like is sometimes a little different than what you actually end up choosing to live with.
