I am thinking of changing the paint on the walls of my apartment adding a splash of color here and there. I also am thinking of doing a themed room in my apartment with furniture, paint, art etc.... haven't selected a theme yet. I was more or less going to wait for one piece of furniture or one item to dictate the direction for me. I am totally a sucker for pinks and turquoise so it isn't surprising that vintage furniture circa 1950s has been on my mind. Usually my spaces have been described as factory-like, and industrial chic! Whatever it is, is done totally by accident and all that i am saying now is that i would like to be more intentional with the space that i spend way too much time in.
Here are some pictures from my favorite interiors blog
Desire to Inspire
The clock is the best part of picture above. Also the numbering on the cabinet and the placements which match the carpet and both have a burlap sort of texture.
The crisp whiteness of this living room makes me think of a Scandi loft. I just love that it looks so easy to clean and the light- the light!
I have often dreamed of a bathroom like this one. It looks like a well kept secret, somewhat dark, somewhat warm and comforting. In the attic perhaps. I also love stucco if its done right especially if its a country home.
When i see this entrance way i wonder why this small part of most peoples homes, including my own are often neglected. I imagine anything you put by the door would look amazing.
Purple is a color I often detest because of the associations I have with it such as magic wizards capes, and bad grape juice. BUT in the setting above the purple isn't overwhelming and in fact relaxing-especially the lace curtain.
This room looks like it belongs to a quirky art collector. I love rooms that ooze books and textures.
Oh la la Pink and Green- reminds me of India.
This has to be my favorite of all time color palette- teal with a spash of red. I hear it invokes dreams and desires.
I think horns and antlers are a strange design concept for the home. How clever to put a mossy plant inside it.
Reminds me of an Uzbekistan home. I have always been a fan of carpets but only in theory- never actually in my own home. I think vacuuming is disgusting for one it stinks and stirs the dust pot up really and its loud and annoying when they always break down.
I would never put a bird into a cage but THAT CAGE. The green, its just classic.
Another entrance way well decorated.
Patina and ladders
Ladders are one of my favorite objects. Reminds me of circus, clowns, building, and escapes. I was thinking of polishing up one of my ladders and hanging fabrics from it. Now i am reconsidering.
I can just imagine my life in this house, i would finish surfing in the backyard beach, come in place the surfboard up behind those chairs there and then have an afternoon of creative nonsense.
This is my perfect couch, cozy, colorful, mismatched but harmonizing and vintage/ ethnic textiles.
This isn't so much about the dinette but about the view of the grass
These remind me of a cave dwelling. Can't you imagine being a monk in your robes fermenting your own wines and then sitting by firelight while your hunchback prepares dinner. Slightly evil.
Thanks for reading
Happy Festivities everyone
