Wait, Back it Up

I just realized that I forgot all about posting the inspiration guest bedroom pictures.  I must have been so excited about the new furniture purchase that it escaped my mind.  Ahh well better late than never I suppose :). 

 

  

  

To help maximize space, I love this idea! I'd put a mattress in place of the cushion.

   

  

Love Layla's guest bedroom from The Lettered Cottage

 

Love yellow bedding for guest room

I think a tundrel bed is a great solution for limited space too.

Take care,

A lil of this and a lil of that

I have a design folder labeled "miscellaneous photos" that is simply my favorite collection of pictures on my computer haha.  I have a little bit of everything compiled into this one folder and thought I'd share a few of them with you today.  There is no rhyme or reason, just a collection of things I like. 

 

Love these built-ins, great way to use the otherwise dead space

Love the stair runner against the dark grain of the wood floor 

 

Just love the romantic vibe

My dream secret garden cottage like the one from Brooke's home.  Check out the rest of her gorgeous place  here.

 

Ooo how I miss you summertime, and what a gorgeous picnic basket with yummy treats.

 

 

Just completely wrong!! 

  

 

 

Love this idea.. can't wait to DIY

 

  

Love the idea of having a crab feast every 4th of July.  Can't wait to start the new tradition

Here's hoping you have plenty of random, lil bit of this and that, kind of days too,

And its Finally Begun

I am sooo incredibly happy that Mr. J agreed to purchase the living room set that I fell in love with at American Signature Furniture (I refuse to call the store by it's new name) a few weeks ago.  He liked the print and the cottage-y vibe that it gave but he was so very hesitant about the light colors of the fabric.  He was afraid that it would get stained too easily, but after much talk with a sales rep about their 7 year stain warranty (both for humans and pets) he was sold.   

I could have kissed the sales girl when she showed him the stain resistant feature of the material.  She actually dipped a strip of fabric in colored water.  One end wasn't treated and the other one was.  Men are such visual creatures haha.  He said "yup this is the set then."  I think I squealed a lil bit. 

The pictures on their website don't do the set justice at all.  it's really hard to see that the stripes are light and not so busy as the picture depicts them.  I love the idea of using burlap pillows and creams/whites/silvery blues in the summer as accents.  I would probably use creams and reds in the winter to cozy the room up.  Well enough of my yappin' ... here it is. 

I think the set would look great in a room such as the ones below 

 

  

Ahh what a fantastic day in my design book :)  

See you soon,
