Inspiration...

I've been rummaging through the internet to find inspiration for our new home.

Our next home is more whimsy and will have more of an unpretentious character.  There is something I love about cheerful disorder - where family and friends can come over feeling relaxed and at home.
If you noticed my post on Brambles and Blossoms, here Lisa sells the perfect one-of-a-kind heirloom pieces to create that perfect, easy to live with space!
Below are some favorite images I collected from Pinterest showing the perfect rooms with unpretentious character:

I hope you all have a wonderful Saturday!

A Whitewashed California Beach House!

Carolyn Espley-Miller designed this beautiful beach home in California!

Many of you know I'm obsessed with the clean, soft look of white.

White creates the perfect pallet foundation for cape cod, Gustavian/Swedish, French and Belgian decor.

Thanks to House Beautiful, we're able to enjoy this perfect dreamy beach home!

... notice how Carolyn incorporates the feel of a cafe' in Paris

Such a simple but beautiful entryway!  The little details pop!

... It's all in the details!

This bedroom mantel is made from a wooden French window frame from Lucca antiques.

... incredible!

Notice the barn doors with their original seafoam color make up the bed's headboard.

Nothing I love more than large comfy sofas and vintage dhurrie rugs!

I hope you all have a wonderful week!!

Fresh... Clean Home Ideas!

I first off want to apologize for the slow blogging this summer.

I can't believe how the days fly by!  I find myself constantly asking my husband,  "Where does the time go?"

The next thing I know I haven't posted anything for weeks... aaahhhh!!

I thought summer was suppose to be relaxing and chill... not in my home!  Kids constantly wanting to go to the pool, play at the park or ride bikes around the neighborhood.

So here I am sitting at my computer at 11:00 pm posting random beautiful images of fresh, clean rooms I've collected through the months.  Hopefully they will bring some inspiration!
