Inspired

After a short 3 months living in our house, I've finally started to feel like maybe there's some stuff we can do to spruce the place up a bit! Dare I say that I may finally be catching a little bit of this "designing" and "decorating" bug that so many others possess. My first foray into gaining some inspiration from the internetz, I came across these three photos that caught my eye.

Up first, the master bedroom. Now, I have a very strong feeling that Max would never go for this. But, he surprises me sometimes with how girly and frilly his taste is. I love the idea of this room. I like the soft color of the wallpaper and the birdcages and the nightstand. The little wire mannequin, I could do without. And the bed. That would definitely have to be at least Queen-Sized for it to work. And I don't think I could wallpaper a whole room, so if this was on the main wall, I think it could work. But, overall I like.



Another master. I think the bed is awesome, although I'm not a fan of the whole color scheme here. Maybe a darker headboard would work. I think I just like the drop lanterns and the two nightstands. The bench here doesn't really look like it goes, but I have been itching for a bed-bench for years now! I could find a really cute one to go with something like this. Again, not a fan of the rust/yellow/turquoise theme, but with different colors, this could work!



Now the fireplace. It's just right there...in the middle of the open living room. Nothing really looks right to me just yet. But, this tickled my fancy. I don't think we would ever do anything like this to ours since it's in such a prominent place in the house...the main focal point, if you will. I like the idea, though. It's shabby, it's chic...it's cute!




Well, baby steps. I'm just getting started. Maybe sometime within the next year I will finally come up with an idea for at least one part of the house! At least the looking for inspiration part is easy and fun. Yay for decorating!
