Crisp and Clean dining...

I totally fell for these images when the sweet Angela sent them my way for some kitchen nook inspiration!  So clean and really just perfect.  I am pretty sure I would loose my voice from yelling at the kids not to get anything dirty if I took this road, but it would look great for a few days!

Stay tuned for the design ideas for Angela's home coming next week...

Also, this week starting tomorrow I have some wonderful guest posts coming up!

Settees on my mind...

I spent most of the day yesterday searching out the perfect fabric for my vintage settee that needs recovering... a warm dark grey brown velvet... perfection! 

I am so in love with settees right now.

Once I get it all done I will have to share!

Don't miss your chance to enter our giveaway from Shabby Apple!

Washed out walls

Love Love the feeling of this image.. 

of course it has my dishes and the color of the room is to die for...

I have been busy cleaning out around here and one thing that had to be handled was the piles and piles of magazines.  I have pulled out so many wonderful images, I cannot wait to start sharing them with you!

Happy February!

You won't believe where these beautiful rooms are from!

I was shocked - really - when I opened up the most recent issue of the Ballard Designs catalog. They've really upped the ante on their styling. It's relaxed and glamorous at the same time. (Click on each image for a larger view)

Love cream and light blue



I like the Moroccan style rug in the picture above. They have it in a couple other colors as well.









I like their home office setups


So what do you think?

TIps for creating a superbly glamorous dressing room

Jane, a Decorology reader, wrote me asking for inspiration for a 9x9 room she wants to turn into a "fit for a star dressing room." So I've done my best to compile some super glamorous dressing rooms. I've also found a few "glam dressing room" essentials and where to find them. Even if you don't have a dressing room, I hope you enjoy this eye candy!

One of my favorite dressing rooms - the dressing room of JCrew Jenna Lyons as seen in Domino.

Another one I like -I guess I really like the windows with natural light, which is good for makeup.

I think the mornings would be easier to face with a beautiful wall of beautiful shoes.

A dressing room is a great place to try out that bold wallpaper or paint color you've been eyeing as it's a more private, smaller space.
