See it, Like it, Do it!

I love magazines, print and digital.  If I ever actually calculated how much I spend on them each month, I’d probably faint.  Nevertheless, they're great for getting inspired.  A lot of what I do in my home comes from a color, scheme or idea I saw in a magazine.  Here are a few of my favorites from over the years….

• This picture inspired my entire bedroom.  Clipped it even before I closed on the house. 

Better Homes and Gardens (April 2007)

• Totally loved this idea for the kitchen and bought these transfers from Hambly Studios.

• Saw this and loved the look so I purchased a variety of $0.25 glass taper holders.

• I had this Goodwill chair in an olive green floral that I purchased for $10 and this picture inspired a pastel transformation.  As you can see, I sometimes write on the pages to keep track of my ideas.

• Absolutely couldn’t resist wallpaper in the closet, although the ceiling was a bit too ambitious for me.

I saw it, I liked it and I did it and if I can do it, so can you.  Happy Decorating!
