Sometimes Simple....

is perfect for a smaller space....

Smallish Kitchens

I know some of us would love to have kitchens this "small", but the point of my blog is to inspire, and I believe that you can be inspired by any size home. Maybe a shelf idea, or color help. Good ideas can come from ANY size home !

Nice.....

No theme, just pretty rooms :)

Make your Walls Interesting !!!

Just because you live in a small space does not mean your walls should be bland ! Sometimes, your walls are your only real available space !! The photos above are all great examples of interesting walls.

Patchwork Tiles & Mothers Day

Whilst having a flick through one of my old decorating books today I stumbled across this image which reminded me how much I really like the idea of these blue and white patchwork tiles for our new kitchen.  Oh and look at those big fabulous blue and white bowls...definitely something else to covet!!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day.  Mine was lovely.  The boys cooked me lunch.  I set the table with succulents and our mismatched old blue and white plates.  It was relaxing and happy and I loved every minute of it....xx

Dine In...

I'm seeing a lot of decor pictures where people are using all sorts of different chairs for their dining tables. I personally love it. I also like when the chairs are different and do not match. Even if you only have space for ONE chair, make sure of two things...you love to look at it AND sit in it !

More Whites.....

If your not a white fan, this just isn't your week on my blog...I'm finding the best white room pictures. Fans of color, don't fret, I will be adding color soon :)

Pretty in White....

Loving the white in these smaller rooms....

Combo Kitchens

I really like these kitchens. In the last one, I love how they made it more of a space to hang out instead of the usual dining area. Set up your rooms how YOU use them, and not what they are "suppose" to be....

Pink !

and we thought it was only for little girls rooms .....

Perfect

I have been searching for the perfect blue and white tiles for a wall above a bench in our kitchen and I have found them.  Patchwork blue and white tiles....could there be anything more beautiful than this?! And they have used brass taps which I love.  A huge thank you to  my blogging friend Emily for posting about these.

Some Inspiration

These days I've been a little uninspired by houses I've seen in magazines and online.  I'm not sure why.  However, I have found myself completely captivated by this house in New York which was featured in this month's Belle magazine.  The owner decorated the entire house on her own.  I love the mix of styles, the pops of colour and of course the all-white interior and exterior.  I am also completely enamoured with the kitchen.  I love the stainless steel cabinetry....a look I think I am going to incorporate in my own kitchen when it's time to renovate that part of the house.  Isn't the wall of tribal masks fabulous and Belle's fresh and colourful cover really did it for me this month too.

                                 

Cool Kitchens

Compact but oh so cool !!!

More Christmas...

Beautiful !

More Homes from my Readers

I have received so many pictures from my readers ! I'm so amazed at all the great looking small spaces you all have !! Here are some fantastic rooms from my readers (from top to bottom) Laurie Marie, Heather Brady, and Shani Ring. I love all three of these spaces ! Keep those photos coming, I will be featuring some more homes soon !

How about this...

Uneven cabinets, opt for a table instead of a island, open and close storage, use a odd wall to your advantage !
