Just a Heads Up.....

I may or may not be consistent this summer with my posts.  Today my kids and I went to the waterpark we attend yearly.  Wow, was it nice to get out of the house.  Did it rain on us?  Yes, but at least I was outdoors!  I really think that I may want to spend more time enjoying my kids instead of sitting at the computer.  You know what I mean?  So this is my warning and request for forgiveness ahead of time!  I'm loving the beachy/coastal look today. (Probably because I saw a million light blue sun umbrellas that reminded me of Coastal Living!)

I'm definitely inspired by blues, wicker, and paintings right now.  How can you resist?!

Vivid Images, Punches of Color, and Unique Art Pieces Equals

Designer Courtney Giles.  Atlanta Homes Magazine featured her town home in one of their issues and I loved the brightness in every room but, she also had colorful paintings and unique art pieces placed ingeniously throughout!  For example:

Round stones under a transparent coffee table.

The black walls and art detail on the valance add color, life, and fun to the room! Oh, and look, it's still bright!

The painting above the sofa is so vibrant.  My eyes were immediately drawn to it's magnificence.  The pops of orange, red, and yellow are perfect against the neutral couch and walls.

The dining room is so bright with all of that natural light.  The painting adds a little touch of color to the room, but I would have loved to see a little more color and texture.  This was the only room I was somewhat disappointed over, but it still looks great!

 Courtney has a lot of other fabulous rooms on her own interior design site!  Check them out here!

I love designer portfolios.....

I found another great designer, Stephanie Wohlner, via another blog which I can't even remember.  Let me tell you folks, she is awesome.  Stephanie uses great choices of cool colors and frequents earthy tones balanced with pops of color.  I love that she throws in a lot of subtle animal prints in almost every room she does.  She has a very identifiable design style and it's very appealing.  Check her out here and enjoy these eye candies.

See what I mean?  Beautiful!
