Coolest Kids Room!
This is the coolest looking kids room I have seen in a long time. Love the big windows and the ugly dolls on the wall. Photos are from Design Dad's photostream on Flickr.

Ikea Hacker - light
Idea for my Ikea knappa light, if the house we end up with does not have an overhang space for a light.
the first impression
nice use of ikea lack shelves. He used this product for the under lighting:

Color Scheme idea for formal living room
I have a couch very similar to this--a slightly less curvier version (the white Ektorp couch from Ikea). I thought I had grown tired of it, but this picture from Apartment therapy of its use by a swedish couple has breathed new life/inspiration into it for me.
I think I'll place it in the formal living room, paint the backdrop wall a dark chocolate and get a white retro looking coffee table (could use Ikea Lack turn on side, paint white, and place wheels on bottom). I even like the pink flowers in the vase they used. Pink would look good against a brown chocolate wall. I'd then hang the Knapp Ikea lamp in the room. Opposite from the couch I can place the 2 danish rope chairs. Could also get 2 more benjamin stools from Ikea and paint white to use as side tables for the couch. Sorry for the rambling. I need to remember this idea for later.
HH Kitchen
I love simple kitchens (flat cabinet doors-no ornamentation) with no overhead cabinets. Gives such a more open feeling.

Butterfly Chairs at The Parker Hotel, Palm Springs
Cute use of butterfly chairs. But then again, almost any photo of Palm Springs looks good.

Random Inspiring Pics for the Day - Happy Friday Y'all!
I love Volkswagon Beetles and Vespas. I don't necessarily want one of either but I think they make for great art. I want to do some type of painting, quilt, etc of a vespa soon. The bottom pics are of an art rug by Polly Apfelbaum. I love the colors. Very inspiring.

A MOSQUITO PLANE
Another cute one from flickr. Caption: "Illustration from the italian kid's book "Andrea e Renatino" (1962), written by the late italian actor and singer Renato Rascel and illustrated by Ennio Di Majo. "
This is from the same book/author as the pic in the last post.

I'm in Love!
Looking at houses on the market as we are moving this summer. I am in LOVE with this one! I love all the glass and high ceilings. It is about 30K over our budget though. Sigh.......
IKEA Hacks
Two Ikea Hacks I really like from the Ikea Hacker website (see sidebar). The long table re-used legs from another Ikea table. The second pic of shelves used to store bath towels.

High Contrast
I like this high contrast look with the white against the dark chocolate. Found here on Twenty Twenty-one. A bedroom headboard idea perhaps.....
