Design Sponge Inspiration

Friday, February 3, 2012





















I spotted the first bloom in the tops of the trees at the end of the driveway today. It's hard to believe that it's almost Spring! This is the time of year that I get the itch to change things around a bit in the house......take on a few projects, add a few things.

While I would love to add a few new textiles, rugs and blankets, or frame some oversized photographs, most of my current projects will be more thrifty. For multiple reasons my decorating almost always involves DIY. Some of my favorite pieces in the house are ultra affordable homemade creations. (here and here)

Browsing through Sneak Peeks on Design Sponge always inspires! I thought I would share some of my favorite shots from my last look through. I can say with certainty I need to add some more plants inside! Well placed plants change everything! I'm also planning to recover some pillows with bright pops of color and maybe some interesting prints.

What I am most excited about, inspired from one of the shots above is a painted trophy collection! I'm not sure why they are making me so happy, but they are. When I was young I proudly displayed all my trophies in my room, dorky I know. My mom still has them all stashed away somewhere......I think it would be so fun to spray them all glossy white and display them in a collection, on a shelf or tray of some sort. Kind of hilarious and amazing!

Any house projects of your own? Am I crazy to love the trophies? I would love to hear what you think and let me know if you have a great site for inspiration!

Lonny is a bimonthly online magazine that focuses on lifestyle and home decor. It highlights extraordinary interiors, innovative bloggers, and the latest market finds. It is my absolute new favorite online resource when it comes to interior inspiration!

These are a few of my favorites from the bedroom images.....more picks to come. I'm excited to really pour over the site and dig into the archives. The magazine was started in October 2010, but is totally new to me.....so I'm sure there will be hours of viewing ahead.

Check it out for yourself!

Design Sponge is probably the very first blog I ever started following. Years ago my college roommate told me about the sneak peaks, and I have been hooked ever since. Even though the site is old news, the site is forever inspiring new ideas. It is still one of my favorites!

Check out this weeks sneak peek that I found in my reader today.....I'm totally obsessed! This is the home of an LA couple who relocated to Marrakech and started a cement tile company. The tile work is to-die-for, but the mix of furniture and art that is mostly thrifted is truly inspiring!

Check out the link to see all the pictures. Every shot is amazing! Wouldn't you love to live there? I would!!!
