Plenty of Inspiration on Airspace...

Where do you go to gather inspiration for your home???
 
For me, I like to surf different home decor sites online or hit the bookstores & check out the latest magazines. 

But I swear....lately I've been hitting Airspace. It's a site that handles locations for the film and photographic industries...& it is has a TON of photos!
 



I'm sure several of you are familiar with Airspace but have you actually spent time looking through it?? 


Boy oh boy...I did that the other day & realized I was on there for almost 30 min!!! 


Well, I managed to pull out some amazing inspirational images!




















We all find INSPIRATION in different images for some reason, what I may like you may NOT.  But nonetheless...these are the images that really struck a cord with me!

















Perhaps it's because I have a DEEP DESIRE to start another DIY in my own home! Ever get that feeling...like you NEED to do something different in your home???

I think we'll be tackling my closet...there's a section that still hasn't been finished - believe it or not!!!! 

Can't wait to show you what we do when it's all done! Enjoy!

Bathroom Re-do by Jessica of Alice Lane

Jessica over at Alice Lane re-designed her sister's bathroom & I was so impressed with the after pictures that I saved them for my inspiration files.  I love how the white subway tiles look against the dark chocolate brown walls and the Venetian mirror- what a statement piece?!?! Don't you think? 


I was really considering something like this for my master bathroom, but with 2 mirrors....however, Venetian mirrors can be so costly!!
 
If anyone knows of a good source for Venetian mirrors under $400 a piece, let me know! 
 



Did you notice the cute HAND DRAWN design sketch that Jessica drew?!? 

Its hung on the wall !! What a cute & CREATIVE way to keep the memory of the bathroom re-do!  

You WON'T BELIEVE how Jessica did all this!! Read about it here.









 BEFORE:



If you're in Utah or heading there....Jessica also has a lovely showroom there by the same name as her blog, Alice Lane.

Natural Chic

I am a bit behind on going through my magazine stack, but I dig Keri Russell's home as shown in Elle Decor. The combo of wood, metal and neutrals are lovely and it feels rather French to me. Love it, what do you think?

Personal Photos....(Via Made By Girl)

This post was supposed to be for May 12th & it WAS UP (for a few hours) until Blogger decided to do maintenance for an entire day in a half & DELETED it along with the 60 comments! Sorry if your comment got deleted, but please feel free to comment again.


Thanks to Christie from Chic Love blog who was nice enough to send the post (I thought I'd lost) to me via email (she had it in her reader)! Thank God! I'm sending Christie anything she wants from Made By Girl she wants as a thank you!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I love it when bloggers post PERSONAL photos of things they own or just pictures of inside of their home. Know what I mean? I find it intriguing to see what people own, what they buy & even what type of dog they have! Nonetheless, it's just a small & narrow window into their lives. 


How about you? Do you enjoy looking at these types of photographs on blogs? 
Even though we shouldn't always judge a book by it's cover.... you can kind of tell (by looking at my pictures) that I pretty much enjoy shoes, fashion, art, jewelry & doggies!  But, I'm far more than what you see in these photos & I'm sure other bloggers you follow are also much more than what you see & read.  


This is just a very small snippet of my life. Hopefully one day I'll add a baby to these pictures....




Ikat shoes by Enzo Anglioni






An 8x10 painting I did - soon to be available at Cocoa & Hearts






Python business card holder & leopard wallet- I'm in love with leopard print - as if you couldn't tell.




A few of my necklaces. My favorite is the cross with the purple stones.




Marc Jacobs handbag hanging in my dressing area.





A painting I originally did for Cocoa & Hearts, but I decided to keep it.  It's now hanging in my bathroom.



 
One of my boxers....she loves sleeping on her sheepskin







my handy dandy closet- super convenient.




new (earth friendly) business cards...


 
A white boxer I had a few years ago - she passed away in 2006 - I miss her so much.





One of my current favorite design books 'Undecorate', fresh carrot juice & a small Cocoa & Hearts piece I made. Will be adding some similar 8x10's soon to the gallery!

Emmanuelle Moureaux Architecture + Design

Emmanuelle Moureaux Architecture + Design designed these colorful buildings that are so much fun! Can you believe that they are actually banks in Japan? Incredible! The top one is Shimura Branch and the bottom two are the Niiza Branch and Tokiwadai Branch. Check out the rest of their cool designs most of them full of bright multi-colors here. Their entire website is an extremely inspiring collection of work.

Brilliant Studio Space

I cannot get my mind off the brilliance of this studio space of Berlin based Michael Elmgreen + Ingar Dragset. You really must feel like you are up on a cloud working there! Oh, the natural light....

Tess's Home Tour...(Via Made by Girl)

This week I am also bringing you a home in Pennsylvania that belongs to a couple named, Tess & Jesse. Besides being a blogger, Tess also runs an online shop called Cozy Little Cave, where you'll find original paintings she's created of some stylish cartoon-like women! This couple is also expecting their first baby in August & I'm curious to see how they'll be decorating the nursery! 


I noticed in her bio we have a couple things in common, we both blog, have online stores, are Christians, and love colorful ART. The one thing we didn't have in common that I noticed was.....  I can't stand Dr. Pepper! Ha!
















How cool is this attic stairwell? They placed paint chips as decor to add some color and interest!  Neat!
























above: blanket for the nursery!

Yvonne's Home Tour...(Via Made By Girl)

Welcome back - it's nice to say....but I still wish it was the weekend & that I was SUNBATHING on a beach somewhere....  That would be the best case scenario right now.  But till then, I'd like to share fellow blogger, Yvonne's home. 


She blogs over at a super cute blog called Simply Yvonne and recently had a gorgeous baby, whose nursery you can spot below!  She's also a graphic designer & talented photographer....with all that talent, it's no wonder her home is so cute! Hope it inspires you on this Monday....




























 And what do you think of the nursery? Cute huh? I love the idea of hanging the baby clothing NEATLY along the wall and displayed openly in the room.
