Bungalow: An emag I'm loving full of fresh decorating inspiration

FREE IMAGES

Finding a new mag or website for house tours and design ideas is always exciting.  Bungalow is a great emag I found with a lot of house tours. 

I  LOVE the two large prints over the sofa.

This nursery is cute and sophisticated.

Balancing a simplistic but eclectic style

If you have a tendency to collect beautiful things and want to show them off, that doesn't mean your home can't be simplistic as well. Here's some great inspiration on pairing the two styles together:

Fresh and clean - interiors that scream spring

Light Bright Kitchen

Light and bright does not mean you have to do head to toe white! If you are looking for a nice bright kitchen without it being completely whitewashed, here's a little inspiration that can help:

A light natural wood will never steer you wrong! It goes great with the light and airy feel and looks clean too.

Not into wood? A simple gray or tan can keep your kitchen nice and bright and pair's nicely with white accents for a timeless feel.

If you are dying for a little color stay on the pale end of things. this light blue is almost white but it's not! Paired with white upper cabinets and a blue back splash make this kitchen feel colorful, light, and airy.

If you have more of an eclectic style you can use a variation of different natural hues that tie together to complete that bright kitchen you desire.

If dark hues are more your style, go big on lighting and natural lighting. Nothing is brighter than the sun! 

Truly fresh and inspired spaces

FREE IMAGES I strive for a home that is thoughtfully decorated and put together, but at the same time not so styled and polished that it doesn't look like anyone lives there.  It can be a hard balance to strike though, but if you take the time to pick out pieces, colors, and textures that are meaningful to you and fit your lifestyle, your home will feel beautiful to you even if there are shoes left by the door and mail piled on the counter.  Here are some spaces that I think are really beautiful, but have enough personality to shine even if someone really lives there!

Even though this space is small, seating is ample for a family, just scaled down to fit in the space.

I don't iron my sheets either, though this be is prettier than mine with the gorgeous emerald shams and quilt!

This space reminds me of the courtyard rooms in Morocco.  What a treat to have that skylight!

One of my favorite looks is well-worn books mixed in with family photos and travel souvenirs.

Chicly unique, eclectic spaces

FREE IMAGES I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!  On that note, I thought it might be nice to detox a little with some non-holiday eye-candy.

Love modern art with traditional decor

An amazing interior design firm that does every style beautifully

FREE IMAGES I have a hard time finding an interior designer that really excites me. Well, I was really inspired by Buckingham Interiors .  They don't just do one look or style well, they seem to do all styles really well.  You can tell they really explore the client's lifestyle and who they are.  Anyway, I'll let you see for yourself:

Love that china cabinet.

Charming.

My dream counters.

Great desk.

What do you think?
