inspiration roundup

Happy Monday!  Here's some inspiration to get your creative juices flowing this week.

508 Restoration and Design created a line of painted animal silhouettes from scrap barn wood.  Love them.

We've had our kitchen table going on ten years now and I would love to have Zac built something similar to this.  A pre-worn table would eliminate the stress surrounded by kids and utensils!

Even though my house looks nothing like this, I'm still drawn to white spaces.  They're so calm.

The style of this stair runner would make a great DIY rug.

This wallpaper be great in a little girls' room.

Our piano is under the stairs like this sofa - I like the idea of adding a more modern gallery along the open diagonal.

 

These planter boxes are such a great idea!  Tutorial here.

    1. I use a German SataJet rplv. Totally worth the investment, I love it. Do you have a large compressor? It requires a 25 gallon one, which is quite large.
      I use two: the spray Kilz in an aresol can or spray waterborne lacquer primer. The first blocks tannin bleed very well and the other does not.

  3. I'm the same way! I'm drawn to stark whitep laces but yet our home bursts with color. Why is that?! I think in our next home I'll lean towards white wall with pops of color. I think I was overly excited after moving out of my college rent house and owning a home that I could painted however I'd like, ya know?! Ha!

    1. I have design ADD! The hardest thing for me when I'm decorating something is to decide which style I want to stick with. I like them all!
