Good morning..cannot believe its already Wednesday! Where is the time going? With it already being Aug.3rd, I feel the pressure to make sure August brings me some summer fun and relaxation, haven't had enough and that's what summer is all about! So much has been going on, the house is in full swing, keeps me busy every waking moment (and plenty of non waking ones too) but admittedly, I have been really stressed lately. This whole "not being in our own home" has at last reached a threshold and I have been feeling really overwhelmed lately, and as much progress as is being made, there is still A LOT to do. But God willing we can move in end of Aug. or beginning of Sept. and though we will still have tons of work being done, at least we will be there and I think will feel like "the old me" and finally like my feet are planted at home sweet home. (I will be doing cartwheels when that happens...OK maybe not cartwheels, but skipping is a little more realistic)
I do try to find inspiration and keep on thinking happy thoughts by throwing myself into the decorating decisions that are now on my doorstep. Beautiful spaces never cease to amaze me in how inspired and uplifted I feel when seeing them. Being a very visual person, I often resort to my big (and growing by the second) online photo album for inspiration when I am considering designing a space or room. I love to periodically post what is inspiring me and today's pictures are post worthy in my book! I tend to be a traditional girl at heart with an old world flair but with add a little twist! I do however appreciate so many styles and I continuously surprise myself at how my taste has evolved especially since joining blog world about 7 months ago...feels like a lifetime! So today in no random order and for no specific reason other than that each of these rooms are fabulously beautiful or unique...here are 32 spectacular spaces to swoon over! A few are not "rooms" but they were impressive enough to include. Do you have a favorite?
I love every little inch of this incredible room
This is quite spectacular! Gorgeous window detailing and I love the white/dark combination and the beautiful white marble..beautiful
Love the gray cast to the sumptuous chinoiserie, Thomas Jayne
Ugh..if I had a closet like this, it gives new meaning to the word "closet hermit" and I might never come out!

So stunning and I couldn't possibly pick - ok maybe that off the hook closet! xx
ReplyDeleteThese are all definitely swoon worthy, especially te dining room in picture #3. Like you I have a bulging picture library, both electronic and paper. Thank goodness for filing cabinets!
ReplyDeleteI as so drawn to the beautiful bathrooms and ohhhhh those closets! I don't think I would ever leave home! These are amazing spaces you have selected!!!
ReplyDeleteThe washer and dryer in the closet looks handy if it does not make it hot and muggy.
ReplyDeleteDid you see next Arch Dig features Will & Jada Smith's house?
May many of your dreams come true...
WOW. Dearest, that first image of the dining room captivated me. Then the turquoise kitche, and then the bathroom with the limestone floors. BUT THEN AGAIN, this whole post set me sailing on a dreamland of beauty. ENJOY YOUR PLANNING!! Anita
ReplyDeleteI love number 11. But there were many others...I am surprised you liked the bright yellow room (1) as you are such a neutral loving gal. I also loved those wicker hampers built into the closet.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteThis post is so enchanting! Love many of the pictures. Great job, Tina!

All beautiful but the hampers stole my heart and loved the idea of having a washer and dryer in the closet!
ReplyDeleteI am into great closets these days! I am so excited for you to get to move home soon.
I have been living in limbo for a very long time and really appreciate having a place of your own.
Thanks for sharing your swoon worthy list!
I think they are all spectacular!!! But, I did notice every time I saw a Clive Christian space my heart beat a little faster! :)
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed for you that you get in soon!!!!
xoxo Elizabeth
From the first to the last picture all beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the dining rooms with that beautiful wall paper!!
xx

Oh Tina, you are so right. The week is flying and we are trying to catch up (that's a funny statement)! We love your collection of pictures and would have to agree that Clive makes us swoon "it could be the heat but I doubt". Hope you are having a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteXO,
Renee and Angela
P.S. Feel free to share with your viewers our giveaway if you like. You could attach to our interview questions. Whatever you think, we would greatly be humbled and most gracious!
Such beautiful spaces, Tina. Love the kitchen with the cabinets that go to the ceiling and the soft colors in the room from the Belclaire Blog have me relaxing already!!
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with several of the kitchens. I love nothing more than a classic white kitchen. That closet is incredible and that hamper is so cute! I love it when small details are made fabulous. I will be passing this post along to my Mom!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous gorgeous rooms! I love all of the blue and white :) So inspiring!
ReplyDeleteWOW - just WOW

I love the first room too. Anything blue and white appeals to me. But the second image, the white/dark combo kitchen is most inspiring. I am redoing my own kitchen and chose a matte glazed cherry island and white perimeter cabinets lightly stied with gray. Seeing this post, I now have to consider doing the dark wood for the base cabinets and the white for the top. I hope to see your completed kitchen soon, so I can get some inspiration from you as well. Looking at the choices you have made so far, I just know your kitchen will be spectacular.
ReplyDeleteThese spaces are all magnificent, but I am drawn to the Clive Christian baths, especially. Have a great day - hope you get to move into your home soon! xx
ReplyDeleteI would turn that shower TV into a shower aquarium....! Aquariums are used as walls and accents in the finest hotels in Dubai and it's divine and serene.
ReplyDeleteGosh, I can only imagine how overwhelming it must be Tina, I think you have held up remarkably well. It is *very* tough relying on people and situations that are largely out of your control, you deserve a major pat on the back for overseeing everything and being the 'make it happen' lady.
ReplyDeleteAnother very pretty post, the Clive Christian and Suzanne Tucker rank at the top of my favorites, they really are lovely.
Sending you a smile and a hug,
tp
Tina,
ReplyDeleteI know that you are so excited about getting back to normal. I am excited for you!
These images are SO gorgeous, as always.
I hope that your week gets a little less stressful, but it just comes with the territory. All will be well soon.
Have a great day.
Teresa

Tina! You always post such beautiful images! I love that pedestal tub!!! Thanks for always sharing such inspiring images... you have incredible taste!
ReplyDeletelol,
Desiree
Hi Tina! Thanks for sharing all these fabulous inspiration pictures! I especially love the kitchens...but oh my that closet is over the top wonderful. I hope your move to the new home happens soon.

LOVE the laundry closet! Clean, white, and organized! The tub overlooking the outdoors is pretty amazing too. I've never been out of our own home for as long as you have, 6 months was the longest for me once, but it is challenging. Hoping yours gets done very quickly and you can feel settled once again!
ReplyDeleteI love the two spaces with the chinoise wallpaper...that style of paper is the definition of elegance/glamour in my humble opinion:)
ReplyDeleteTina,
ReplyDeleteLove all the spaces shown here. I'm so excited to hear you'll be moving soon. You're a great planner so rest assure you will have it all together and ready for the holidays approaching us. List's, calendar, multiple copies and keeping an attitude that plans are: "subject to change" will keep you sane. You're doing great and blogging is your haven home at the moment. You can pour your creative heart out to us and we'll keep enjoying all you share.
When it get's stressful walk it out. It works wonders the earlier in day the better the cleanse. Hang in there you're loved and supported.
Blessings,
Bette
The kit hen on the second photo and the bathroom towards the end with the similar windows took my breath away....two of the most beautiful rooms I've ever seen. Definitely saving these!
ReplyDeleteStacy
I am drooling! Wow so many incredible spaces, makes
ReplyDeleteme want to redecorate right away!! I love the first picture, the 1st kitchen, that gorgeous closet, you would never get me out and I actually surprised myself by loving that bedroom that has the chinoiserie panel behind it, something about that room is quite specatucalar.
Oh, and the TV in the shower....VERY cool.
We are loving all the blue and white. Great images.
ReplyDeleteWow! While I'm liking them all, I'm really digging the first kitchen, the first closet, and the second bath. I LOVE EVERYTHING about that bath! The glorious chandelier, mirror, sconces, vanity with vessel bowl, balcony railing, flooring, tub & its position in the middle of the floor to take advantage of what I'm sure must be a magnificent view. Did I mention that I love that second bath?!
ReplyDeleteThese rooms are rediculously gorgeous! Each one more than the next. So inspiring...but I especially love the more modern dining room with the gorgeous wire light fixture. It's just so fab!

Can someone please tell me the name of the ceramic dogs in the 20th picture down from the top sitting on a shelf above the stove. I believe it is a spaniel but cannot remember the exact name. Penny
ReplyDeleteLove that sitting area. It is so not me - but I appreciate the beauty of it. You picked some great shots. Good luck on your move into your new house. I know what you mean - it is not that great to move in before it is finished - but at the same time - you can't wait to get in your house.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous images, Tina! Your posts are always full of tasteful, beautiful, and inspiring rooms.
ReplyDeleteMy blog list doesn't seem to be updating in a timely manner - I'll have to check your other recent posts and be sure I haven't missed anything! Hope you have a moment to stop by my blog again.
Tina I adore, absolutely adore # 1 and 3, love the color palettes and , well just everything about these two!

I am thinking of sprinkling some rose petals in my bath for a little fragrance like in the photo of the Waterworks rectangular tub. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the dining room with the beautiful chandelier and the green walls with lovely painted flowers.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the moss green fireplace in the 4th to last picture. The tufted ottaman is beautiful,as well. Where do you find all these beautiful, aww inspiering pictures?! I'm so glad I found your blog.I hope you're in your home soon.
ReplyDeleteTo the person above wanting to know about what kinds of dogs those were above they are
ReplyDeleteStaffordshire dogs. You can google them, they have antques and plenty of very affordable reproductions!

ReplyDeleteThank you Tina for the name of the dogs and the quick response. Your blog is one of my daily inspirations. Penny
