Can You Get Over This??

I've discovered a new blog: Desire to Inspire. Let me just say, it's working.




If this doesn't fill you with sick levels of decor-based envy, I wanna see where you live.

    I want to live there! It is my dream to have a bookcase tall enough that it needs a ladder. And then to have a piano and a huge window and two reading chairs next to it. It's like you found the blog of my dream house. Makes me really wonder about that blogger...

    Thanks for the link!

    Damn! That's some good looking decor. The only thing that would make it any better is if you were posing in front of all that stuff.

    Ooo my gosh I just LOVE seeing photos of amazing home decor and interior design... just fills me with this great sense of hope at being able to create a dream home in the future for myself. X) Any chance of showing us some photos of your home?

    Btw, I've moved to blogspot! Hope you won't mind updating my link. =) Thanks very much!

    I've been addicted to this site for a few months too. That bookcase + ladder was one of my faves. Beautiful!

    pretty pictures.

    We did something similar to the framed art grouping in the first picture using a number of prints by a local artist we like to support.

    They are hanging on the 60's era knotty pine paneling so there is a contrasting layers effect with the old pine as a base, the high tech frames and spare mattes, and the abstract-primitive art.

    The chandelier and the bug print took me into full on envy.

    Ms. U: Do you have Reader? If yes, in the top left corner there's an area called "Add a Subscription". Just highlight the main url in the blog (http://desiretoinspire.blogspot.com) and paste it into the subscription area in Reader. Easy!

    Sal: It's so beautiful to look at, but painful at the same time :-) And every post is just as beautiful.

    I know, Sara! I want one of those Woody Allen like lofts in NY with tall bookshelves. This blog does bookshelf of the day, btw!

    Monkey, you sweet-talker, you :-) Although, I'd like that also!

    Kate: It's really hard to take :-)

    tis: I'll update your link. And I agree this sort of site is very inspirational (when not envy inspiring!) On the topic of photos of my home. I do slip them in on the premise of showing dinner parties or flowers or my bed (or my new backyard from last summer). If you go back through the site you'll see some snippets. I don't think I'd do these sorts of shots because it just seems a bit invasive. I have to keep some things private :-) Not that anyone could believe that!

    You see, Janet, if you were still blogging (sigh) you could have told me about this site and I'd have been reading it months ago too!!

    D.: That sounds gorgeous. I bet those groupings are beautiful and, you know how I love pine.

    Andrea: I wish I'd known about it sooner...

    Seeker: You sooooo have the right idea!

    ~h: Can you hire her for my house too :-)

    I haven't got envy, but I've certainly developed a case of design-inadequacy!

    Mattie: No doubt you live in the most gorgeous place ever, but this stuff is otherworldly!

    Maegan: I know...

    LLG: So nice to see you here. And yes, these looks are tremendously grown up.

    E: The thing about you is you're so well balanced :-)

    Anymommy: They're kept in the downstairs cupboard :-) Admittedly, it's the size of a gym.

    GJ: I love that you love this. I was blown away. We can be inspired together!

    Show Me: Tell me about it! Thanks for stopping by.

    This is EXACTLY the kind of vision I had in mind while trying to decorate my apartment. Of course...it turned out quite differently, but I absolutely love each and every picture. Especially the lovely chandelier in the second picture. Every piece is perfection!

    I LOVE the chandalier. And, even though your finished product is unique, I'm sure it's just as gorgeous. Thanks for stopping by...
