Love for Decorating

I Have been so busy these past few days with all the projects around my house. My mind never rests and I just keep on thinking of new things to do to improve my surroundings. I've only lived in this home for almost 3 years, but only now have felt like I am getting comfortable enough to really know what I want certain rooms to look like and really narrow down "my style." There are many options out there when it comes to design and decorating so it could get quite confusing at times. I always start with the "feeling" I want the room to have, maybe...cozy...or fresh...romantic...glamorous.....you get the idea. Then  I decide on the color palette I would love to have, sometimes this inspiration comes form fabric or a painting or a piece of furniture....or maybe something that you own that you just love! I also get lot's of ideas from reading blogs about decorating. I came across this blog called Hooked on Houses I love this blog.....because the snoop in me is always interested in what other homes look like inside. She also talks about my all time favorite movie Somethings Gotta Give, besides the fact that I am drool crazy over Keanu Reeves, I just love the way the house is decorated in this movie, so light, airy and timeless....plus who wouldn't love to have a home in the Hampton's right? She also has many other movie homes and plenty of pictures and information about them. I just thought I would share....maybe you too could get some inspiration :o)

Here is a fabric swatch that I have been really inspired by and plan to do my dining room in......

I plan to recover my dining chairs in this fabric.

I also plan to do a wall treatment with a stencil of this on my dining room wall to coordinate in grey and pearlescent color so when the light hits it you could see a hint of the pattern...ooo...preeetty.lol I have also decided to re do my dining room chandelier....I will post updates on that later. I have been dangerous with a can of white spray paint lately.lol I've been painting lot's of things white to go in my dining room including my old chandelier. I will also have a bedroom update soon because my husband and I have found our headboard! I get it this Friday....Yay!!! Till next time...happy decorating! :o)
