What's not not love about dutch doors? 

They can be quite useful, and they add a bit of extra style to the door: 

This idea will never go out of style,
 which is why we love these images...
Have a great day!

Beautiful, Unexpected, Fresh: Interior Lust

I am still out of town, bailing out some difficult but fixable situations...but you cannot keep me from grabbing any chance to peek at blogs and magazines, portfolios and articles about beautiful rooms:  I found these, they've made ME happy. 

May they inspire and raise YOUR  spirits too!

Have a great Day!

Try a Daring Bit of Recycled, Industrial, and Unusual

Doesn't matter what style you have overall. Just let your eye and heart tell you if it fits. If it fits, and it's quirky or a Fad, or just Very different, go ahead:

Easy, Breezy, Calm + Elegant = STYLE

Bacall has it, lots of people have it, 

rooms and outdoor spaces have it. 

It's impressive but never stuffy. 

Here it is:

~ Style ~

There is nothing like it. And simplicity is at its core. 

Have an easy, breezy day!

Unusual Room Design and Decor Ideas

It's April 2nd, so we are safe after, a day of...surprises. 

So here are, with some unexpected, smart room ideas...

Mostly real:

This is creative, fun, and very real; one lucky kid's bedroom paradise:

Smart+original: Living Room...Inside of a computer!

For the devoted Geek, one really could 

do something like this in a real home, too...

Real, unexpected, but maybe not real(ly) comfortable?

Beams, boards, and the hanging beads behind the headboard.

A childhood love of LEGO turned into

 adult design whimsy.

Cost: $1000.00 to cover this island.

( You might consider paint, instead!)

 A Steampunk beauty:

Very real, very interesting idea, but a lot of fish tank maintenance!

For dining/cooking al fresco lovers:

And that's all the Smart, Unusual Design there is?

Nah,

...it's only the beginning...

Happy April 2nd ~
