~~ Black & White!

Desire to Inspire posted this and other pictures by photographer Simon Brown. I had to steal this one! Love the serene white and I mean look at all those whites! Then to make it dramatic the black and white wallpaper on that lovely abstract floral. The ceiling light fixture may not be your cuppa tea but it is bold for something so ethereal looking.

~~ Oh, Oh, Oh!

Love the boldness. And adore the horizontal stripes in the drapes.




Pretty wallpaper in the nicely frames niche. I love that the designer matched the paint to the wallpaper background. Pretty nightstand too!



Oh and be still my heart look at the gorgeous shades with that outline in red trim!

Lori Graham! Another great find by Desire to Inspire.

~~ Beautiful Bathroom

This bathroom I lifted from the wonderful blog Desire to Inspire (which they do quite often, thank you very much). It is by the interior designer Alessandra Branca. Marble flooring with a simple pattern that only adds to the attraction of the room. Lovely vanity (at first I didn't notice the the mirrored doors) but once I figured that out - well let's just say I decided that it was more than just merely spectacular). It appears that the small squares in the floor are the same color as the vanity top.

Lovely and I mean ever so lovely roman shades in the windows. They are based on a balloon or Austrian shade. A job very well done if you ask me.

Also enjoy the lighting and finally noticed the small television to the right. Very hip and to many quite practical.

~~ Bedrooms! From Desire to Inspire

Desire to Inspire featured this bedroom in a post about creative and unusual chandeliers. I like the wall behind the bed. That may be about it...




Love, love, love the drapes! Love the woven wood shades and the bed.




Yellow and black. The artwork is great and compliments the size of the room. That yellow chair is amazingly cool.




This bedroom is (to me) very relaxed but has a lot of structure. Looks like grass cloth on the walls and I am a huge fan of that. The drapes are creamy and soft. The bed, lord that bed! It's so cool!!
