ASHLEY WHITTAKER via THE GLAM LAMB
This beauty is one of my all-time favorite vignettes, and a long-time resident of my inspiration folder. It’s a simple symmetric vignette, but the simplicity is part of the beauty in my opinion. When every item is perfection, a simple vignette will only look well edited, right? Apart from the obvious (greek key console and gray zebra ottoman) it’s the wonderful color combination of the cobalt blue artwork and the apple green lamps that sucks me in. I’m going to create a few new vignettes in my home, so I surfed the interwebs trying to find a few pieces that would create the same appeal (while costing as little as possible of course). Here’s what I ended up with:
*
GREEN CERAMIC LAMPS / OCEAN ART PRINT / CONSOLE TABLE / ZEBRA OTTOMAN / CLAM SHELL
Total price: $792.
I’m totally crushing on that ocean art print! I think it will be mine ;-)
I also made two discoveries today, namely that a greek key console table like the one Ashely used in her vignette, would cost more than twice as much ($1775 to be exact) as the entire vignette I slapped together. The other thing I discovered is that it’s impossible to get a hold of an ottoman upholstered in gray zebra fabric.
Also, I wish we could refer to more than one ottoman as ottomen… Enjoy the rest of your day! xox Linda

I’m loving this style right now. The style is kind of “nautical”, but not quite. The colors and textures are there, but none of the typical nautical motifs. Here’s a few of my favorite rooms designed in similar style; but first:
I’m loving the fun patterns and happy color palette of this pretty bedroom. It’s the work of Vanessa De Vargas of Turquoise LA.
*
Vanessa is known for her striking color palettes, often using strong colors like pink or red to pop on a cool blue backdrop. Love the quatrefoil trellis wallpaper in the bookshelf too, very eye catching!
*
A feminine curvy mirror takes the spotlight in this super simple, but very pretty vignette. In the office space to the right you can see another one of Vanessa’s specialties: framed fabric art. Simple to make, cost effective and very pretty =) A few sources after the jump!

Well hi there! I’m super excited to share this gorgeous living room today. It’s the work of Lynn Morgan, and great work it certainly is! Starting with a neutral palette of beige and white, Lynn created an oasis of lovely blues and turquoise – and all tones, tints and shades in between. To tie the fresh accent colors to the neutral background, Lynn opted for floral and leaf print fabrics, representing both color extremes.
*
Viewed from this angle you can see how much depth this color combination of blues and turquoise, creates. Very visually pleasing and interesting, but calm and relaxed at the same time.
*
Lynn’s attention to details makes all the difference. See the shelving unit with the blue painted back? Scroll back to the former photo and see how it brightens up that corner of the room.
*
The sunroom showcases how wonderfully well the rich blue color works as a neutral on furniture, when paired with light and bright colors. Did you notice the same blue color was used on all the side tables in the living room? I simply love it! Do you?
*
Whenever I feel uninspired, I can always count on Horchow to provide some beautiful inspiration. This bedroom shot displays their gorgeous Oceanus bedding. But there is another element in this light blue bedroom that caught my eye…
*
This mirrored bedside table!
*
It’s called Mirage, and it’s all shades of gorgeous. Just look at all the details! Out of all the spectacular mirrored furniture we’ve seen, I can’t recall ever seeing one with white trim. It looks extra clean and pretty, yes? Now, if it wasn’t for the price.. Pier1 to the rescue =)

True or false?

You know when you stumble across some place with endless amounts of eye candy? Well, this was definitely the case with the portfolio of Muse Interiors.
*
I never tire of a beautiful traditional living room. The soft color palette of gray, blue and white is perfectly accented with colorful bouquets of flowers throughout.
*
I’m always inspired by a great tablescape, are you?
*
A closer look at the pretty flowers.
*
A good reading area is always a hit in my book. Those chairs and that table is amazing.
*
Such a pretty combination of fabrics in this room, don’t you think?
*
A closer look at the gorgeous side table.
*
Amazing blue bedroom. So soft and pretty, and I love the mirrored dresser. The headboard is pretty amazing too!
*
Just another closeup. Hope you enjoyed this, Happy weekend my Friends =)
