Inspiration Monday: Samantha Pynn

Happy Spring!! I hope you had a great weekend. Saturday for us was a rainy messy day, but Sunday could not have been more perfect. I worked on a fun felt flower project that I'll show you later this week. In the mean time, for Inspiration Monday, Samantha Pynn is on deck. I use to watch her show on HGTV, Pure Design, but since giving cable up over a year ago, I'm not sure whether it airs or not. At any rate, she has undeniable style and likes to mix it up a lot. I think that is what really draws me to any certain designer, fearless mixing of styles.

In this room, the shield chairs with the modern table, and vertical blue on the drapery panels...I really like that. The lamps are great too.

I like the mantlescape in this room, I like the round mirror, probably because I use one over the mantel too.

I love the fabric on the chairs in this next room, the coffee table, and the landscapes. Very nice.

Is this divine or what? This green makes my heart sing, combine it with the fantastic floral pillow, and we have a match made in heaven.

On a side note, I'm still having a difficult time selecting fabric for my chair project, I'm really torn on going safe or bold....but looking at this picture makes me want to go bold all the way! So striking, can I just kick in that the photo composititon is excellent too? :)

This is another angle of the same living room as above, love the sofa and the mirrored cubes are so unexpected.

So I just gotta ask, if you feel like giving me your two cents, are you enjoying the Inspiration Monday's? I'd love to hear what you think, although it's ok if you don't want to chime in. I am always right clicking on inspiration photos and saving them into my virtual design file...I thought it would be fun to share.

Have a great day and I'll see you tomorrow.

Inspiration Monday: Palmer Weiss

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend. Palmer Weiss, a well known designer, is what is inspiring me today for Inspiration Monday. Based out of San Francisco, she has a wonderful design aesthetic that is a wonderful mix of modern and traditional with a touch of funky thrown in, I really admire that! It's not an easy thing to accomplish, but she does it really well, doesn't she?

I love the lantern above the table here as well as the slip covered chairs. My favorite part, however, is the ornate mirror over the streamlined console, beautiful.
Other notables, the use of garden stools and the trellis fabric on the side chairs.

Now in this room, I am instantly drawn to the orange and interesting coffee table. Other notables, zebra rug and orange details on the furniture.

The chandy here is divine and the grass cloth wall paper creates such a dramatic background for all the white, love it.

Another colorful room, the chevron drapery and I love the upholstery on the chair in the foreground. Other notables, the Foo dogs in a fun color and rams head, and the kitchen looks well done too.



Interesting lighting and wall color draws me here, the green and natural elements are well done.

Ok, another interesting chandy, feeding my lighting fetish, she's a girl after my own heart! Other notables, Chevron runner and green damask fabric on the bench in the eating area.

Check out more of Palmer's portfolio here.

Thanks so much for stopping by, I hope you are inspired by Palmer as much as I am! See you tomorrow for Works For Me Tuesday, I've got a great DIY project to show you, you're gonna love it!

Inspiration Monday: Camilla Molders

I always love when fellow bloggers share a source for great design, that is exactly how I found out about Camilla Molders (love her name!). Thanks to Kirsten, I caught a glimpse of one of Camilla's rooms and off I went to explore.

Based in Australia, I was of course instantly drawn to her use of color, not to mention some of my favorite colors. I love the artwork above the sofa, it looks like a aerial view of some coastline, neat.
The beautiful green ottoman and over sized tray, you know me and my trays, I love them. I also like the use of neutral backgrounds and color used in the way of accessories, just how I like it.

I think I am drawn to this particular picture because I will be reupholstering Keegan's chair soon and one of the fabric samples is a chocolate chenille. I'll be showing you those soon, I'm waiting for a few more swatches to arrive in the mail.





This is my favorite. I love everything about this room, the pillows are divine and I love the palm fronds. Black. White. Green. Love.






Very nice Camilla, I like your style!
