interior design inspiration- architecture

The architecture in this house is sooo charming. It makes me wonder what the outside must look like! The little frames hanging are really sweet. :) Happy Saturday!

interior design inspiration- green and red

I love everything about this, although I am not really sure why. :) I dont play any instruments, and I think it was the green with that little pop of red that did me in. :) Very inspiring. 

I'm constantly stumbling across interior spaces that inspire me. It seems kind of odd to do write a post centered around a single picture, but I think I'll start including some random pictures at random times. :) It seems that lately my blog is lacking in the interior design category. So, hopefully I can inspire you and me at the same time.

Loving this picture. It is giving me the urge to start a new print based solely on these colors, and I think I have the perfect sketch, already finished waiting for color. Stay tuned in the next few weeks for that!

antiquing with these kids...

was suuper nice yesterday! Stephanie and I took a walk downtown, its been really nice and cool here these last few days. I seen some ornate picture frames I wanted real bad, but decided I should wait until I know where we'll be living! :) But see what I passed up? The frame seemed to be priced high at 45.00? It had awesome bowl shaped glass, but it was cracked. I dunno, is that reasonably priced? I'm NOT an experienced thrift shopper! Its the frame here on the right, and I would have spray painted it a funky color!

I love this next set of pictures, the kids were really being silly. Trin and Seth were dancing for me, and journey was giving me the meanest glare. Shes really mastered the frown face, and will do it on command. :) Usually for a few seconds, then she'll smile to let you know she was teasing... UNLESS your a stranger. Then its a genuine FROWN. In these pics I think she may have been squinting cause of the sun. :)

We had a nice quiet relaxing summer day followed by a yummy hamburger. :) Stephanie has some mad bbq grilling skills! :P Her husband is flying in tonight, and they're planning to leave saturday. We are not ready for them to go! I just might leave sticky notes all over jeff's luggage, maybe list the different properties that are for sale in prosser? ;)

Journey did pose sweetly for this picture though. Too cute. :)

There was a small one bedroom apartment above this shop available for rent. :) Of course, they'd need something a little bigger.... ;)

inspiring colors...

...of late have been green and brown without a doubt! You can see in these pictures of a painting I started awhile back (sadly it isnt any further done) that they have really influenced me.

Then I came across this picture in blogland:

....although I cant for the life of me remember where!  I have been scouting new blogs and checking advertising prices, so I have looked at my fair share over the last couple days. I checked a few that I thought might have been the source to no avail. Anyone know?

Anyhow, the colors are sooo inspiring! That pop of green with the earthy browns and crisp white is gorgeous. Don't you think so? :)

Thanks to all the comments I received, I am now designing a mini calendar. When I say mini... it definitely is. I'll be sure and share when I have it done! Also: so glad to hear that the mini notepads are getting used! :)
