Give me some "SPACE"

February 18, 2011 Leave a Comment

On a typical day, I have at least 3 or 4 current design magazines, laying around my living room. As I spend time flipping through them, I tear out any pages showing spaces, that evoke thought. I may LOVE them, I may HATE them, or I might just stop and look because something catches my eye. 
Look at the next few spaces that I am going to share with you, how do they make YOU feel?!!

I was drawn to this little garden, sitting area, as soon as I saw the picture. I could imagine my husband and I and all of our close friends and family, sipping red wine, and enjoying a summer night! However, as I looked closer, the very thing that caught my eye ( GREAT IDEA! putting large sitting pillows outside) made me think…would any of my friends or family, or myself, actually be comfortable sitting on a large pillow outside, while everyone else was sitting on chairs?? what do you think??
The answer I came up with..after enough red wine…I can be comfortable anywhere 😉

The above picture caught my eye, mostly because, in design, I am very symmetrical. I love things balanced and even. In this space, the offset mirror is what totally drew me in!

The space below, is NOT MY style. BUT, I keep going back to this picture, analyzing it, wondering how on earth could a family with a baby, live in this tiny space. I appreciate how the space is used, and I happen to love most loft design, but wow!! not enough room for me!! I also wonder, how clean does a small space like this stay, once that baby is a toddler??

Thoughts?? could you live in this tiny home? do you think its a great way to utilize the space, or too cramped?

The next is, obviously, not a whole room, but the use of one piece that just POP’s in a space, is an idea that I love!! in this picture, the vibrant colored mirror,  makes such a statement against the patterned wall covering, with out overwhelming the design!!
I am so drawn to it, and will for sure copy this idea in the future!

One of the greatest aspects about Design ( no matter what type it is) is that it is all personal preference, one space that gives me the heebs, may make you, your most comfortable self. So surround yourself in what makes you the happiest!!

Enjoy Your lovely Friday everyone!!
