Hello Nesters My Old Friends...

I've come to talk with you again....

Hiya guys!!  How are you all!? It's been a while!  Happy New Year!  I'm sure, much like you guys, life has been madness and I am thrilled to have enough time to jot some words down for ya!  Because let's be real... I miss you.  So here I am! ... Hooray!

Well I guess I should just cut to the chase and tell you the biggest news around the house!!

Orange and Teal seals the deal.

Heya Nesters! I know it's Wednesday and it's going to be a long one.  But lets rise against the doldrums and enjoy some eye candy.  Shall we? I just had to share with you guys this amazing room designed by Kendall Wilkinson for Traditional Home. 

I know what you're thinking: Incredible. The unapologetically bold colors and the hyper glam silhouettes and textures... I have no words.  {Ok, maybe a few.}  I bow down at the feet of Kendall Wilkinson for their show stopping room.  I just thought you all might like the hump day stunning space!  

Do you love it? Hate it? Specific elements that you love or hate? Dish, Nesters! We all want to hear!

Bedroom Inspiration

Heya Nesters! Coming on the heels of yesterdays love.like.loathe. post, I decided to look at some yellow, aqua, and chocolate colored rooms to see how they've worked it and see what tickles my fancy.  I know that I want to mix some patterns in there. I'm usually a "solids" kinda gal, but this time 'round, I will dare to be daring!

The gold mirror in this room was the inspiration to paint my leaner gold. Wouldn't it be incredible??  I also love that this room includes the olive color to mute down things a bit.

Tearsheets

Hiya Nesters! As I scan the interwebs when I do research for all my posts, looking for beautiful images. I always stumble across images that catch my eye and I can't just scroll past. I have to snag them.  I can't wait to use them one by one. So, I'm going hand them to you to ogle them the way I do from my laptop... just in a scattered mess.  Loving them. Each one. For their individuality and their striking sense of design, color and space.

Lonny Love

Exciting news Nesters!  The newest issue of Lonny has been up for a couple days now. I've been perusing it slowly but surely and can I tell you how inspiring it is?  Oh please let me show you...

Christmas Magic

Before the ice is in the pools,
Before the skaters go,
Or any cheek at nightfall
Is tarnished by the snow,
Before the fields have finished,
Before the Christmas tree,
Wonder upon wonder
Will arrive to me!

- Emily Dickinson

Hello, Beautiful!

Heya Nesters!  I'm always grazing the sprawling fields of the Internet and magazines for inspiration.  I have found some heart stopping images that I couldn't wait to share with you guys! But this one above is my favorite. They cool gray of the wall brings such a different depth to this layered vintage wall.  I thought the modern vessel sink was such an interesting choice to juxtapose against the aged pieces. 

Welcome Mat

What is it about being genuinely welcomed into some one's home that gives you the warm and fuzzies? Maybe its the home cooking and baking, or just the hug of a friend or family member... Or maybe its just a really great foyer.

I love the girlie shabby chic cozy foyer. A perfect place to hang your hat! {Or scarf!}

Cartography

Hiya Nesters!  I'm excited to be introducing a new piece of art into my apartment soon.  I've been anticipating it so much that I've been looking at all kinds of rooms as inspirations. Can you guess what I'll be receiving from the UPS man soon?
