Let me start out by saying I might have to rename my blog "The Covet Place" because I feel like that's what I've been doing most lately is coveting. Next, let me say that I love my house. It could be a little bigger--or maybe I should just purge the clutter better--but it's cozy and welcoming, and I'm grateful for it.
But would I be human if I didn't just wish a teensy-weensy bit that it could be kind of different? If it were entirely up to me (an of course if budget were bountiful), I'd treat my home like a never-ending palette of playful colors and objects (minus the clutter, of course). Turquoise or royal purple walls? You bet! An eclectic mix of Indian, Moroccan and Scandinavian textiles? Why not?? An african mask set next to a silver candelabra and an orange Bauer vase? A bigger mantel on the fireplace, pleeease!
Don't get me wrong--I love a beautifully designed room in any style. But my "druthers" scream "Bring on the Bohemian!" There are so many wonderful things from fabulous cultures it seems so hard for me not to want to dabble in them all. And I love putting things together that don't seem like they'd fit, but do. It makes for a pleasing surprise every time I look at it. Here are some sample images I stumbled upon that are examples of what I mean. I hope they inspire you to bring color and joy in your own happy habitat!
that living room with the aqua wall is divine, as is the last photo of the beautifully patterned couch with the yellow fan-print throw pillows.
