i thought today i would share some inspiring spaces with you.  each of them get me itching to redecorate or at least do a project or two!  i love all of the patterns represented here, and i can see some yellow stripes in my near future.  and that feather pillow? i’m in full blown ‘re-create’ mode after seeing it.  i hope you enjoy, get inspired and plan a weekend project (and then share it)!

good morning from colorado springs! wow- is it beautiful here! the weather is perfect (as i’ve heard it usually is) and the scenery is simply to die for. we arrived without a hitch, though we flew in on two small planes. i don’t love flying as it is, so i’m hoping for bigger planes on the return flight! our hotel is just across from the city’s historical downtown, so we’re a quick walk to cute shops and yummy restaurants. hopefully i’ll have pics to share soon!

most recently added to my wish list is meg mateo ilasco’s latest book, crafting a meaningful home. featuring 27 projects that tell personal stories and celebrate heritage, the projects are all budget conscience and beginner friendly. as i am always trying to make my home a handmade haven, i can’t wait to get my hands on this book!

raised in sweden now living in san francisco, ulrica wihlborg’s photography captivates timeless design with thoughtful scandinavian influence.  i love the clean lines and summer feel in these shots, and how she pairs photos to take the meaning to a deeper place.  from outdoor living to summer cooking and succulents to gardening- her work fits right in to some of the things i love most.

my mom surprised me yesterday with amy butler’s midwest modern lifestyle book! isn’t she sweet?  my jaw dropped as i flipped through all 224 pages of amy’s inspiring images and story lines.

page after page, she lets us into her whimsical home and studio, beautiful kitchen and outdoor gardens.

she talks about her life, her business and design process and gives us an inside peek into what inspires her work.  with how-tos in every chapter she draws you in with incredible images and design work.

if you look to nature for inspiration or love learning about successful artists, amy butler’s midwest modern is a must read.  i’ll be flipping through it’s pages many more times as it left me feeling uplifted and creative.  enjoy!

with clients such as martha stewart, kate spade and real simple, you can bet you’ll see johnny miller’s work in some of the most popular magazines.  he shoots everything from still life to food, but i think my favorite are his interiors.  i’ve gotten so inspired by his photographs and am busting at the seems to put some of these ideas into action. like that adorable yellow screen for door-side goodies? and the ladder for laundry essentials? grab a pen and paper before visiting his website so you can jot down some of your favorite ideas, too!

um, this may very well be the most beautiful kitchen i’ve ever seen.  i think i would have been afraid to use those colors, but i can’t believe how perfect they are!  what do you think?  i now want to redo my entire kitchen. you can see more of it on bolig.
