4 Decor Things I Love Right Now

1. The use of creamy colors 2. Denim Furniture (its probably a "out" but I'll always love it) 3. The use of small space done really well 4. Big school like sinks. Whats making you "ooo and ahh" in the decor department these days???

This is a super fun question. :) I still always get excited when I see white painted beadboard. I am also recently enamored with Cary Nowell pottery, or Catherine Thursby pillows, or anything white with big black numbers on it. I also really like small spaces and small cottages and small gardens really cute and well-planned.
ps I love, love your blog. :)

Good thinker question! I'd have to say:

1) White beadboard
2) White Painted Brick Fireplaces
3) Open Shelving in the Kitchen
4) Square and Rectangle Baskets
5) Wrought Iron Bedframes

Me??
Old tribal rugs..the more colorful, the better!

Furniture made from old Phillipine or African wood.

Those, against crisp white painted walls.

Oh...and pops of modern, funky oil paintings.Adding color you may not expect.

Loving all the comments everyone!

Erin- Not exactly where that particular table came from, they can be quite pricey. Here's a link to a reproduction tho..

The design is the classic by Eero Saarinen- if you put that in google TONS of things come up! I love that design!

-white linens
-collections
-overstuffed sofas
-old wood dining tables with modern chairs

the use of creamy colors is gorgeous. i personally am a fan of BRIGHT colors - but this really appeals to me!

and the sink - i hear ya - i'm dying for a huge country-style sink - those are so beautiful!

I, for one, love denim when you do it (I can't pull it off to save my hide).

I personally adore:

1) Contrast (in scale, color, form, whatever)
2) Anything animal-related (pictures, hides, antlers, horseshoes)
3) Anything funny or quirky
4) Anything sparkly

My problem is that I use them all at the same time! (g)
