Inspirational Eye Candy

I love exploring the internet for "Inspirational Eye Candy for the Home".  I have so much saved up and I plan on sharing them with you, but just a little at a time.  I don't want to give anyone Eye Candy overload.

I have fallen in love with Blue & Orange for decor in the home.  The color orange is not just for the Fall season anymore.

Love this Living Room. Neutral on the walls, neutral sofa's, pops of orange on the curtains & pillows, blue accent chair & ottomans.  But check out the fun black & white rug. Still a comfortable and yet airy feeling room.

Look at that rug with dark hardwood floors.....Gorgeous!!!  OK, there isn't blue in this room, but I just loved the rug and curtains with all the other neutrals in the room.

In this Living Room, I love how they brought in lots of natural materials.  The chair, coffee table, & even the rug looks like a cotton material.  A white room never looked so good with Blue & Orange mixed in. There is even an architectural ceiling.

Look at all of this great pattern through out the room.  There is pattern in the sofa, pillow, curtains that are very subtle, but that bolder orange pattern ottoman is gorgeous!  Neutral walls and rug which really keep the room feeling open and light.  And I love that the ottoman has dark wood and everything else has light wood. It's probably one of the focal points in the room.

 This Living Room has blue walls, with the pop of orange in the pillows, art and some of the furniture even.  But that chocolate sofa and brown leather chairs really make the room feel warm and comfy.  Love the white trim and mantle.

Love this room.  It's bright and simple, but pleasing to the eye.  Lots of neutrals, but the pop of orange and blue bring the room to life.  Look at the texture in the rug and the pillow.  Gorgeous high ceilings with beautiful white trim.  The curtains aren't to bold or over powering for this room at all.  And with all the straight lines in this room, I love the round side table they brought in. 

This Living Room is very Beachy feeling to me.  Look at the walls and the then darker wood floors.  Love dark and light woods together in a room.  Gorgeous!!!  This room has just small splashes of blue & orange in it.  The rug, the pillows, the throw, curtains and the lamp shades.  I could sit in that room for hours and just be completely relaxed.

Well I hope you have enjoyed the Eye Candy.  I know I feel much more relaxed  & inspired after looking at these pictures.  Until next time......enjoy!

Tour My Master Bedroom

Welcome 2011. This is going to be the year for new things. Making more time for my Blog that I love, more time for projects in the house and more inspirational posts.

Welcome to my Master Bedroom. I'm going to take you through a few changes I have made over the last 3 years we have owned our house.

 

These 4 pictures are from when we first bought the house and started to paint.  The color is by Benjamin Moore and is called "Brittany Blue".  It's a light slate blue.

This is what our bedroom looked liked after we were done with the painting and moved in.

Now is when I started to make some changes to the room.  I wanted to lighten things up for the Spring/Summer months.  I changed the curtains, the duvet & added an area rug.

Then the Fall was here.  So I changed the duvet again, added a burnt orange throw and sold the area rug. It just wasn't doing it for me anymore.  I love the look without the rug.  We just have small area rugs right next to the bed on both sides.

We finally added something to the walls.  It only took me 2 years to figure out what I wanted on that wall.  The shelves & letters are from Kohl's, the picture frames are from Ikea.  I changed the throw again to a multi blue colored one.  I have a thing for throws.

Then this year I decided I needed to change the lamp shades.  These are a natural fiber and I bought them from Target.  Me loves Target.

I just recently found new curtains and new rods.

Curtains, throw and decorative pillow are all a light Lime Green color.  Love blue and green together. Light and fresh.  Love the new look of our master bedroom.  Curtains are from Ikea, throw & pillow from Home Goods.  New curtain rods are from Target.

I also added some Interior Decorating books (bought at Home Goods) to my side table on the left.  Hubby's side has a funky crystal with a crystal book under it (also bought at Home Goods).  Still have to find something for above the bed.

Here you can see the small area rug next to the bed.  It's from Kohl's.

Love the look of this ruffled throw.  Lots of texture.

This funky vase is from Home Goods.

Hope you liked all my changes.

We are working on a small redo in one of our bathrooms and soon we will be working on our Laundry Room Remodel.  Pictures and details coming soon.
