Pretty Places That Have Nothing in Common

Today was one of those days where I just wanted to look at gorgeous spaces for some inspiration and something nice and enjoyable to look at. So I went to Pinterest, naturally.

And let me tell you, while I did find ENDLESS amounts of gorgeous living rooms, bedrooms and more, almost every picture I clicked either went to another page on Pinterest or to a Tumblr page with no direct link, just a full page of images – not the one I had clicked on! Needless to say, Pinterest frustrates the heck out of me sometimes with all of its inconsistencies. Does anyone else find that problem? It could just be the type of day I’m having – which is why I’ve included these pretty images above – even though they have nothing in common!

I’m in the mood for a white space with pale pinks and greys and fluffy pillows and fur. I’m not sure why, but that was what I was looking for. I’m constantly drawn to that and may need to recreate a girly grey room in my home – I’m almost there with my bedroom – I would just need to switch out some blues for pinks, if my fiancee allowed!

So anyway, now that I’ve rambled on. What do you think of these spaces? What catches your eye? I know that gold sequin wall sure catches mine!

Lazy Days

It seems like I never have a free day to spend endless hours sunken into the couch watching lame television and reading crappy magazines and websites. Luckily, yesterday was free enough for me to do just that and it was absolutely wonderful.

Although my sofa isn’t as plush and cushiony as those above, it’s almost there. And I’m pretty sure that when we were looking at sofas, soft and plush was a main criteria with lazy days in mind. I wonder if that was the same idea for the designers/homeowners in the images above. Now that’s it’s Monday morning and time to get back into the grind, I’ll be daydreaming of my sofa and these here for the rest of the day!

How about you? Do you have a cushiony sofa that is perfect for lazy days or do you spend those days in a cushiony bed?!

Rayuela Stool by Alvaro Catalán de Ocón

Alvaro Catalán de Ocón design studio, based in Madrid, Spain, has created the geometric-inspired Rayuela stool that when grouped together creates an eye-catching visual effect. He began with the rhombus, a four-sided shape with endless possibilities. When you put three of them together you get a hexagon, which makes the perfect stool seat. Cover each rhombus in a different material and you have yourself a rockin’ tile-like design. Top image by Falkwyn de Goyeneche
