It's whats inside that counts.... Closets!

Hello all! Its Hump Day and I have been a busy B, space planning and designing our next home. The focus for today was our Master Bedroom closet. It is a generously sized closet and dressing room, however my budget is not seeing things my way. Today's inspiration pages are dedicated to fabulous closet spaces.
Enjoy!

Although I believe it's what's on the inside that counts (in closets too), it doesn't hurt to have good bone structure (giggles).

Phew... Getting closer to the weekend!

" Nothing is Impossible"

" ..... The Word Itself Says I'm Possible" - Audrey Hepburn

My love for Audrey Hepburn and her movies began when I was just a girl of 3 or so and watched My Fair Lady for the first time. As I grew older I watched some of her other greats like Roman Holiday, Breakfast at Tiffany's etc. Now in my later years I've discovered what an inspiration she was not just as a movie and fashion icon but as a woman. Today, I dedicate my new inspiration searches to Audrey, leaving you with a message from this great framed word art below....

MyTufted Love

I am crazy about tufted everything! There is just something about how you feel when you sit in a button tufted chair and surrounded by upholstered tufted interiors.... Feels like heaven, correction the VIP section of Heaven! While finding some great inspirational images for my next project I stumbled upon a brief historical look at tufted furnishings and interiors on the Susan Murray Blog. It was a great read on how this luxury can be applied to create various looks, from a masculine vs. feminine feel to adding that touch of nostalgic elegance to a more contemporary design.
Here are some more inspiring images of tufted elegance and luxury...

Luxurious and Bold!

Below you can see how tufted panelling adds a softer look to cased goods.

This tufted ceiling treatment is to die for!

This Wallpaper from BN Wallcovering is a great alternative to doing full on wall panels.

Next time on tufted love.... a look at tufted accessories and decor items. You'll be surprised at what's in store!

Happy Monday!

Happy American Thanksgiving to all our friends and family south of us! It's been lovely to read all the warm wishes and the inspiring messages on the many blogs I follow and all the status updates on the social networking sites.

With the holiday spirit surrounding us I can't help but dream of warm and inviting decor ideas for the home.  My absolute fave and a possible DIY this season is this 'holiday' subway sign with a heartwarming message.

Holiday wreaths are a great way to spruce up your space both indoors and outdoors.

This Pier 1 Peacock Feather wreath was a personal favourite of mine for this past year!

I just adore this Parisian themed table setting by designer Toby Fairley. I love the bistro feel for this holiday Breakfast nook. 

Here's a Glam yet Cozy table setting by decordemon

A must have for holiday decor is of course the Christmas Tree! These are some fabulous scenes...
 

Here's a very interesting alternative to a traditional Christmas tree...

These creative and simple wrapping paper ideas would look great under the tree and around the home...

Hope you found these ideas helpful! Merry Decorating!

Peek into my portfolio

I have been working on my portfolio for some time now. Since I have nothing posted online yet, I thought what better place than to sneak a peek through my blog.

Enjoy!

My obsession with round mirrors and  book shelves is obvious.

Here are some images of comfy condo living.....

The following images represent all things Blue and other delights!

There's much more on the way on my up coming Designing B. Portfolio! Stay tuned!
