Design Inspiration Monday

Geometric shapes, animal print, spots, and zig-zags.  So many patterns and such a dream.  It can be a little tricky when it comes to mixing different patterns in a room, but this delightful print mashup is perfect.  Matching a color or two from print to print will help with the flow and coordination of the patterns so that it won't end up an eyesore.  The cheery and playful colors add light and brightness to the space.  The neutral furniture pieces make it easy to change up the decor and complete look of the room without a huge investment.  I'm also seriously envious of that coffee table with the nail head trim...Looks like a potential future DIY project to me!  What is your favorite part of this living room?

This reclaimed wood kitchen is adorable!  The black chairs contrast with the white bench, which is utilized in smaller kitchens or spaces.  The little potted plants and floral add some liveliness to the space.  My personal favorite part is the modern geometric chandelier mixed in with the rustic look of the kitchen.

Here are some similar chandeliers to shop:

Black, white and touches of copper.  This industrial-chic kitchen features open shelving, giving the small space a more open feel.  The exposed brick always draws me into a room and I love the contrast of a lighter brick with the black floors.  Also, I'm having some real oven envy over here because of those gold knobs.  What do you think about this kitchen?

Easter weekend is upon us!  Time to get ready for Easter brunch, Peeps, bunnies, chickies, bonnets and dresses, Starburst Jelly Beans, and my personal favorite:  the day after candy sale!  Also, I'm attending my FIRST Adult Easter Egg Hunt this year, which I'm pretty stoked about.  I'm sure there will be photos grammed and Snapchats a plenty, so you can follow the fun there.  I just started Snapchat for the 5th time, so you can follow me at flamingo314 if you're a Snapchatter as well.  I will warn you that I'm new, so my snapping skills are still at a beginner level.  On to this week's {whatever wednesday} of gold eggs, pretty pastel desserts, and Easter style libations.  Hippity hop, hope you have a wonderful Easter Weekend!

Metallic wallpaper, pretty please!  This ultra feminine staircase nook looks so pretty and peaceful with the ladylike blue hues, gold, silver, and antique furniture.  Because of the reflection, metallic wallpapers will brighten a space and is visually pleasing all around.  What do you think about metallic wallpaper?
