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 !

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 !

Apartments !

Here are 3 apartments from around the world. The top one is from Hong Kong. Very nice although I'm not sure about the tub. Love the tub, love the look, but what about privacy ? Still, so pretty. The 2nd one is from Sweden. Love the white, so simple, and clean feeling. The 3rd is from the United States. I LOVE this one ! It was in the AT small cool contest. The rest of the place is just as amazing !

Apartment eye candy !

Although the contest(small, cool 2010-Apartment therapy) is over, I had a great time looking at all the photos of stylish apartments. They were in many styles and sizes! Take a look yourself by clicking the title of this post!

Bathrooms !

Grab some ideas for you bathroom from pictures! Ok so you may not be able to fit a dresser in your bathroom, but you could a old coat rack! Hooks are wonderful, I have them in my bathroom. Just because a bathroom is larger does not mean you cannot steal some ideas for you tiny one !

Random love.....

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.

Rustic Vintage

I love when I see decor in a rustic or vintage feel. Sometimes they can be a bit over done but I love these styles here. Have a great weekend !

Bathroom Inspirations !

You truly do not need a ton of space to be stylish. All 3 of these baths are full of style ! I LOVE the beadboard in the black/white bathroom with the shelf. What a great use of space !

Look for Storage Everywhere !

When space is at a premium, that usually means storage is too. Here are some simple ideas you can use in any space. Some cubbies over your dresser, s shelf under your mirror in your bathroom or just some benches stacked up. You can use that for extra seating when you have extra guest. Look at your space with a new eye !

Bold Colors

I just loved vibrant pops of color with a white backdrop. The good thing is, if you get bored with lime green, you can change it !

Using Bold Colors

Some people shy away from using bold colors in a small space thinking it will make the room feel smaller. Used in small doses, bold colors can add a great accent to the room. In the top picture you may be asking where is the bold color? Black. Black on the tile and door handle add a nice contrast to the high whites that are normally found in a bath. Don't be afraid to use your favorite bold colors. Mix it up experiment! You'll be glad you did!

Small Bath Do's

Chances are if you have a small house you probably have a small bathroom. There are things you can do to make your bathroom feel larger. Use lots of white. Dark sinks can look great in a large bathroom, but if space is limited, go with white. Use lots of reflective and clear things. Glass shelves, large mirrors, all let light bounce around. If you have a window, let as much light in as possible. Lots of light always helps!

Happy New Year!

Well happy new year everybody! I apologise for my lack of posts. Between Christmas I had both my daughters birthdays to celebrate (one being a sweet 16) a wedding anniversary and so on. ANYWAYS...I hope a bit of Pottery Barn eye candy helps. I want to thank all of you for leaving me such nice comments. I read everything and appreciate it very much. I hope everyone has a great 2009!!

Pretty Bathrooms

Its amazing how far bathrooms have come. I've seen some really beautiful designs. I love both these sinks and they couldn't be more different. The tiles in the middle were shown to me by my bud Jen. Love them, so creative!!!
