Living Bliss: Interior Imitating Art

I really love this painting! It's the sort of vibrant piece of art that, if you love enough, can be the inspiration for the whole living space . . . like is the case here. White, yellow, pink and red add a lot of fun character to this place.

Christmas Decoration with Evergreens

 

I'm taking the traditional ruby red decoration out of the equation this year and I'm keeping things more natural - only evergreens and frosted gray/silver ornaments. These images are a beautiful inspiration, don't you think?

Random Lovely Thing: Pebbles on the Table

I love this idea of having natural river pebble hot pads. You can find these lovelies at Viva Terra (here and here), but I also think this can be a lovely (and easy) DIY project! I will be collecting my pebbles soon.

 

Random Lovely Thing: Bedroom Love Sign

This antique sign from Sugarboo Designs can be found and purchased from Modern Chic Home. It's 36" x 36" vintage wood, hand made and hand painted.

I first came across this through Charlie from Attempting Aloha, who used this idea as an inspiration for her own crafty project. She has created an equally lovely "I love your laughter" sign.

Truly inspiring, don't you think?

Living Bliss: Peeking Baby Blue

I love this delicate baby blues, especially in the combination with soft gray and beige, fresh white flowers and accessories, reminiscent of adventures at sea.

Living Bliss: Decorating With Colors

Bring on the colors! Bring on the stripes, color blocks and colorful accessories. This living space makes the color variety work in creating a fun and lively atmosphere. The paintings and bedroom pillows are probably my favorite part! Being brave with colors sure can pay off.

Living Bliss: Grand Bedrooms

Anyone who knows me can attest that I like staying at home. Indeed, my home is my fortress!  I don't really have a favorite room, though. Each little corner has its own ambiance, its own charm and purpose. The work area, dining area, the big comfy couch, the kitchen. How can I possibly pick a favorite?!

Yet, most of us will agree that the bedroom in our homes is a particularly special place. It's the one place you need to be able to fully relax, to let go of troubles after a hard day's work and surrender to sleep, love or a good read.

I've been thinking about making some changes in my bedroom and have been looking for ideas and inspiration. I hope these lovely dreaming dens inspire you as well!
