Design Done Right


Ok...usually I don't like to use up my Design Done Right days for magazines. BUT...I absolutely fell in love with the kitchen that Dee Dee Taylor Eustace designed in the latest issue of Traditional Home. 

It makes me weak at the knees looking at it. And if y'all can't tell...kitchens are my little weakness in design! They are my favorite room in a house to design I would have to say. Anyway...here are the wonderful photos...













WOW! I would take that kitchen any day! And I would change absolutely nothing!

Enjoy!

Designer Tip Tuesday: The Designer Pages-Carol



Today's Tip comes from Carol who designs and blogs over at The Design Pages. She lives in beautiful Canada and is constantly doing DIY projects. Some of her furniture pieces she has re-done are just amazing. So on to her tip...

*****************

Thanks so much to Kayla for inviting me to be part of this great series.  





Use Wallpaper to Liven up a Room

For so many years we shied away from wallpaper in our homes.  Lately it's made a huge resurgence on the design scene.  It's a great way to add drama even if you chose not to wallpaper a whole room.   A little bit goes a long way.  Try wallpapering only one wall and carry the colours throughout the room.

Use wallpaper in a tiny powder room. It looks glamorous and you completely forget about the size of the room.

If bright and bold is too much of a risk you can take a safer route and go with a nature inspired theme.

Even the kids can get in on the action with this design trend.  There's plenty of kid-friendly designs for kids of all ages.

So what do you think?  Are you a fan of wallpaper?  

Thanks for having me Kayla!

Beautiful Hydrangeas


So all of my hydrangeas are in full bloom! They are my very favorite flower and part of my entire yard. I would show you a picture but my camera has been on loan for a couple days. But I will get you guys some later.

Anyway...has anyone else noticed the beautiful hydrangeas they use in almost EVERY interior?! I love it!!! It seems like every time I look at a room in a magazine there they are in all their beautiful and timeless glory. Haha. I am a little obsessed with them. So here are a few interiors that I found that had them...plus being a GREAT design. 


I think that the blue in this room is so fabulous. I think blue is underused in homes. Especially dark blue. It adds an elegance to any room it touches.

Green Hydrangeas and blue accents.

 I am pretty much in love with this little breakfast nook. Blue hydrangeas mixed with greens and natural lighting make it a perfect little eating area.

 You don't see white Hydrangeas too often but I also like the area rug.

I found all these Hydrangea items on Etsy. Go check them out. =)
