Last week one of my cute blog friends, Brittany {love stitched}, came to me with a serious challenge of a room. She sent me photos of her family room and shared all of her problems and challenges she is facing with the design of the space. Since we both blog, I decided to come up with two design plans and let our readers vote on their favorite option. Just so you can get a feel for the space, here are the photos of it now...
And here are sneak peaks of each option...
***
Head on over to Love Stitched to see the full design board, cast your vote & help Brittany decide which option to implement!! :) I can't wait to see what she chooses and watch her progress in the design along the way.While you're over there, check out Brittany's adorable shop. I have two of her headbands and love them!
Let me know which design board you're leaning toward!Happy Friday!Love,
PS. You'll also find a surprise discount over at Love Stitched for my e-design services :)PPS. Don't forget to enter the Simply Pillow Giveaway! Ends Sunday.

Sometimes I just need a well-done punch of color. I think all these above rooms from Southern Living have that, so I couldn't resist sharing! While we're all gaga over the neutral palettes, there's definitely something to be said for some serious c-o-l-o-r, don't you think?! Have you incorporated any fun colors into a space lately? Which is your favorite room above?
A few things...- My account was hacked yesterday and my blog was deleted and by some miracle, I figured out how to get it back. So a reminder to back up or restore your blog :)- Sponsor spaces for March are already filling up, so contact me if you're interested in sponsoring Michaela Noelle Designs!- I've added a new page at the top of my blog called "Contact & Submissions". I'll be doing a once-a-month installment of reader's best DIY projects, crafts, home decor and room makeovers, so head over to the page for more info on what to send me if you'd like to be featured! - Happy weekend!!
Love,

My heart was overflowing with joy when these images popped into my inbox last week! A while back I blogged about an e-design I did for the sweetest client, Carolyn. She wanted to update her living room into a sitting room/library of sorts. Carolyn has been keeping me updated on her progress ever since we finished her inspiration board! To take us through the design stages, here is the before, room we used as inspiration, and the after:
After seeing her space and learning about the look she was going for {she sent me the photo of the living room above via Live Creating Yourself blog} I came up with this design plan:
And that design plan shortly became this comfortable and totally chic little sitting room...
And that right there, friends, is why I love interior design. What a joy it is to see a design plan collide with real life and spill out in our homes :)
Didn't Carolyn do a FAB job putting the room together?! What's your favorite part?
If you're interested in my e-design services, I'd be happy to work with you! Take a look at my e-design page and email me for more information and pricing at michaelawarner90@gmail.com
Have a beautiful weekend!Love,PS. Shortly I will be in search of person or family in the Bay Area, California who would be willing to let me design a room in their home {design services free of charge}. The client will only need to be willing to make the changes and put the money into the space. A more informative blog post will follow soon, but if you are interested please email me :) Design process would be happening over the summer of 2012.xo
Also catch my guest post over at A Newfound Treasure...I'm sharing what I heart:

How's that for some Tuesday inspiration? {I think we all needed that after last night's horribly upsetting episode of the Bachelor! Are you with me?!}While surfing none other than House Beautiful, I found some delightful images I knew I needed to share. What was it about these interiors that I loved oh-so-much? The color and textures! I also love that I'm not normally drawn to spaces with the least bit of clutter, and yet I adore both the bookcases and desk space. I'd call that stylish-clutter {now you're all asking yourself if you can justify your desk area ;) }...and any bulletin board with that much inspiration pinned up is a winner if you ask me!
What's your favorite element in these spaces?!Love,PS. The winner of the Twirl headband giveaway is #16, Jessica of A Day in the Life of the Crimella's. Hooray! I will email you today to get you your prize :)

Lately I have been thinking about interiors (big surprise there) and interior photography. I was looking through
Ashlee Raubach's blog and saw this picture.. which I love. Ashlee took our family pictures last fall and she was amazing! I cannot wait to have her photograph some of my work and my home when I get ready. The light in this picture makes my heart race and that table makes me want to scream I love it so much. I love the way she uses the light in the space and the softness that comes across in the photos.
Anyway, I am curious have you had interior photographs taken? What do you think of different styles?

House Beautiful magazine is probably my favorite magazine to pick up. I love their stories, their home tours, and new design trends that they bring to life for their readers! I also love that they have the images online so I can share them with you today :) This last issue of HB was one of my very favorites! I found myself swooning "Oh, I love that!" upon every page I would turn. I spent way too much time on the website yesterday looking through all the home tours, and you better believe I saved a bunch of little goodies to my computer to share with you another time! Today I want to share some of my favorite images from the latest issue of House Beautiful. Believe me, you will leave wanting more fabulousness. Don't tell me I didn't warn you!
So beautiful, right?! I love the mix of pattern. And that yellow in the kitchen-the perfect palette!What's your favorite room?
I'm flying back to Seattle today and had to leave the pup behind :( Next time I see her she'll be such a big girl! Hope you all have a lovely Tuesday!Love,
