More Homes from my Readers

I have received so many pictures from my readers ! I'm so amazed at all the great looking small spaces you all have !! Here are some fantastic rooms from my readers (from top to bottom) Laurie Marie, Heather Brady, and Shani Ring. I love all three of these spaces ! Keep those photos coming, I will be featuring some more homes soon !

Nice.....

So sorry for the lack of post...hit with the flu bug, but all is well now, just not well enough to have a point to my post. So here are some pretty pictures in the mean time :) I have had tons of readers sending in photos, I can't promise I will be able to put all of them up, but I will try ! I'm so impressed with all of your homes ! Hope your having a good weekend !

Rich Colors !!!

Who says you can't use rich dark colors in small spaces !!

No story here, just some photos that made me smile ...

Blending Rooms

When you do not have a lot of space to begin with, its hard to know how to blend rooms that spill into each other. The first thing I do when planning a room is ask myself exactly HOW is this rooom going to be used. Every inch in a small home or apartment is valuable space that you don't want to waste ! Washing machines are now making there way to bathrooms and kitchens. Thinking differently about how we live is very important in small space planning !

Art Ideas

I'm loving these ideas here because they are unique. A sharpie and you have a frame ?? On paper that sounds crazy, but I like it !

Rooms with a summer feel

Maybe its a lot of white that makes a room have a "summer" feel to them but these 3 rooms have it. Slipcovers? Not too fussy? I guess a dog on a surf board helps! Not sure but I love it !

White !

One of the most used tip in small space design is using the color white. I personally think you can use any color in a small space, but white is a wonderful choice. In addition to white making a space look larger, you can add any accent color with smaller accessories and not break the bank!

Jessica Kelly Design

Check out the work by designer Jessica Kelly from Toronto Ontario Canada! She specializes in smaller space design. I love the urban feel to her work. If you'd like to see more, just click on this posts title, to take you directly to her website.

Do you have those decor pictures that make your heart beat a bit faster ? Here are a few of mine. Art that pops in the kitchen, green used outdoors, a fat comfy couch (cute puppy a huge bonus) and a bright white bathroom. Sighhhhhhh. I love design.

BLUE

So what is YOUR favorite shade of blue???????

Family Rooms

They may be on the small side but that did not make these homeowners shy ways from bold color...Loving the round table-ottomans, great when you have little space !

Modern Christmas

and now some modern takes on the holidays..... next time Cottage !

Country Christmas

I get some of my best Christmas decorating ideas from small things I see in decor photos. A wreath hung in the kitchen, s small pine tree in a red pot. In the weeks leading up to the holidays I will post pictures of different styles hopefully to inspire you for your holiday decor !

BOO !

Time to start thinking about HALLOWEEN !!!!!
