White Space

Clean white walls, hardwood floors, exposed heaters, fresh flowers, comfy chairs... I could go on about what I would want in my all white space, but here are some pictures instead. I am trying to do small things in my own apartment (which has laminate floors & white walls, but it's so not the same!) to jazz things up and make it more unique. This means adding a dose of fresh flowers every now and then, making sure everything is kept clean & tidy, using magazine racks to store my latest issues (besides the issues that I stress over in my own brain, ha ha!), and even rearranging the furniture to keep things from getting too stale. Brandon is a huge fan of rearranging, especially when it revolves around the best angle to watch his flat screen at! Needless to say, making a house your 'home' is a lot of work, and although I have major apartment envy when I look at these pictures, it doesn't hurt to dream of my future home!

A Happy Home

I am always looking for interior decorating ideas online. Whether it's a bathroom with pink details, chic bedrooms (varying between luxurious and country-like aesthetic), or rustic but polished kitchens, there are so many ideas that make me excited about becoming a home owner one day. It's a far off dream for me right now. I mean, I'm still stuck in a one year lease in my current apartment, but that's just it - it's a DREAM, and it's always fun to draw inspiration for the future!

I created a collage of smaller pieces I would like to see in my home, too. My mom received a KitchenAid mixer, and it is so easy to use and makes whipping up double (or triple) batches of baked goods a snap! Plus, there's nothing better than measuring out all your ingredients in pretty pink measuring tools! Additionally, I'm a huge candle fan. If I could buy every delicious smelling candle in the world, I definitely would! I wonder if it's a girl thing... Comfortable chairs and Victorian-inspired mirrors are so lovely, too. I actually purchased a similar mirror at Ikea before Christmas for my apartment, and it's a nice touch to the otherwise dull white walls! Likewise, adding fresh flowers to your decorations add a real "homey" feeling, I think. I remember having fresh flowers basically at every occasion at home, and it just makes you feel a lot happier having a burst of colour! Finally, there's nothing better than tea. I am a huge tea fan, and you can never have too many mugs! Especially if it's a Tiffany's & Co. mug!

Hope you are all having a good weekend!

Whimsical White

Call me crazy, but there's a part of me that is drawn to the absence of colour when it comes to interior decorating. While wearing white clothing is nearly impossible for me (sneaking sips of my boyfriend's coffee whilst wearing a white shirt isn't so secret when I spill on myself), the crispness of a clean, simple, white space is comforting, stylish & fresh. When I spotted these pictures on weheartit.com, I began dreaming of having a modern home with a white-washed twist. One day, one day...

If you could pick any colour scheme for your home, what would it be?
