Interior Inspiration


I have many many many more images to upload, these were all just from some house tours I took on apartment therapy (holy addictive, right?).

Christmas lights on the ceiling in my living room? yup. A starry night every night sounds lovely to me.
I'm going to hang my pots. I have to invest in a nice set to display. I want cast-iron ones anyhow, or really anything I can use on the over then also bake in. Imagine the culinary possibilities? Also I don't have a dishwasher, it would save precious time.





I am making a swing in my living room. I don't care what anyone says. It's happening.
This I can also do! Make a wood accent wall! This isn't a new thought I was going to do it in my current place but didn't stay long enough to do anything really. And it even looks nice with the same color flooring I have. Maybe I could do a bunch of different colors of wood? Or shapes/sizes? hhmmm.
SHAG CARPET.

benches. I'm into benches. Maybe I should make a long bench for my kitchen?? I was going to get a bunch of stools (I'm making a long large shelf of reclaimed wood my kitchen table), but a bench could work too. I want something I can push under the shelf/table when I'm not using it to save space.

couch! Maybe it's worth paying a little to get a beautiful piece reupholstered?

I have adorable built in shelving in my new kitchen, I want to start collecting mason jars to put nick nacks in.
all white. heavenly. Though november (my tortoiseshell medium haired cat) would make quick work of this becoming black-ish.


I want to appliqué cushions! Also, that cushions inspired me to make some really nice fabric magnets! I'm going to go and buy a sheet tomorrow.
rope shelving! I know this is part of the original window fixture, but could easily be done to a shelf. Makes for an interesting book end? We shall see. So many ideas swimming.
Using tapestry as wall pieces. yes please. I guess this is also maybe a head board? Something I will be foregoing as I'm trying to find a canopy bed frame I can drape beautiful lace and crochet over. eeep! When I bring a boy home he might get scared off by the cats and the frills. hm. Is it bad I don't even care?? #addictedtomypassions
I can't remember if I have storage over my kitchen cupboards or not?? If so, my vintage crates could look so lovely there!

I AM AN IDIOT. honestly, a complete and utter moron. WHY haven't I just used a nice vintage fabric for a shower curtain before?! This will be probably one of the first steps when I move in (since it's extremely inexpensive and I already have the curtain rings for it). Maybe I'll make blog posts about my decorative efforts?? that could be fun.
that chair!
I WANT A CHURCH PEW FOR MY FRONT PORCH.
rolling racks... overdone now? considering it.
going to be on the hunt for one of these puppies to make into a cool litter box. Maybe not quite so large, but I have a vision. And that vision is to no longer have my cats litter in vision.. vision.
that couch!

BUY ME AN EAMES MOLDED PLASTIC ROCKER PLEASE. I promise to drape a beautiful fabric on it or some sort of fur. I swear. God look at that reclaimed wood mantel piece. beautiful.
I'm making this. Or some variation of this for my bedroom. a beautiful floating rack. I'm really into hanging things lately? I might use a nice industrial chain painted white or maybe a really thick rope to hang it. (maybe leftover rope from my swing? hhmmm)


fffaaaabbbrrrriiiiiccccccsssss



Maybe I should actually get a book shelf? probably not. love everything here also. Dark and rich. I seem to flip between stark white rooms and more moody dark ones. I'm crazy?
This looks really close to something I would actually do in my place. I like the general feel of the photos I've posted. Somewhere in the realm of kitschy contemporary mid-century modern with an anitquated twist? Who knows. Love everything about that image. Wish my hardwood was dark, alas I am stuck with a honey colored hardwood and don't really have permission to change it. curses.




I want to paint one of my doors. maybe all of my doors? Or remove/change the existing doors in my place. Imagine getting beautiful french doors that let in light? I'll be living on my own so privacy isn't an issue. I'll also be getting some beaded curtains for my kitchen doorway mmm.
