Best of Pinterest: My Latest & Greatest Pins

I'm so happy it's Friday, how about you?! Today's post is all about my most recent/ favorite pins on Pinterest. I love that site! It's seriously the best tool for those of us who are constantly bookmarking images online. The first image is STUNNING! The rich jewel tones against the deep charcoal gray wall and that incredible chandelier? It makes me want to rethink my entire apartment design :) Anyway, enjoy the inspiration and have a lovely weekend. Any special plans? I'll be attending my second baby shower, this time given by my Mother-in-Law. I can't believe that sweet little baby will be here so soon...I still have lots to do to prepare for his arrival! xoxo - Julie

Inspiration from IKEA's blog: Livet Hemma

I'm definitely a fan of IKEA and enjoy shopping there from time to time for everything from drapery panels (they have a great selection!), accessories, furniture accents and lighting. I was recently turned on to their blog, Livet Hemma, which features gorgeous homes and sets incorporating IKEA products. Here are a few photos from their blog of spaces that I'm loving - they're bright, fresh and organized. Just what I'm craving right now!

I love this ceiling pendant! I've seen it used in several different spaces, from nurseries to sophisticated living rooms, like the one above.

I Heart Kelly Wearstler

Kelly Wearstler has been a favorite designer of mine for many for years. It's been exciting to watch her  evolve as a designer and see her expand her brand into other creative areas besides interior design. Kelly has managed to successfully launch a clothing & accessories line, jewelry line and home accessories collection, among many other notable collaborations and several published books. What I love and admire about this incredibly talented woman is how EVERYTHING she does - whether it's the way she dresses, designs a space, creates a necklace or piece of clothing - it ALL flows together cohesively and screams "Kelly Wearstler"! She has definitely defined her brand brilliantly, wouldn't you agree? I've grouped together some of the inspiration snapshots she's shared on her blog (which I'm obsessed with!), along with the exciting new collections she's designed. It's evident that natural stones, precious gems and textured materials are a huge influence on everything she designs. You can really see a common thread through everything she does!

Fresh Spaces

Hello and Happy Friday. Glad we made it through another week! Today's post is all about fresh spaces that are relaxed, inviting and simple. I do blog about color quite often, so it's nice to take a break from it every now and then. Feast your eyes on these bright and airy spaces - they're like a breath of fresh air. Ahhh:) What do you have planned for the weekend? For those of you preparing for the hurricane headed your way, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your families! Stay safe. xoxo - Julie
