some friday interior inspiration

today my hubby and i both have the day off! hip hip hooray!!
so of course he's still fast asleep and i'm awake blogging because the construction outside side my apartment sounded like t-rex. once i'm up, i'm up.

so i thought i would share some interiors that i find inspiring.
sit back relax and get inspired!

i really love this idea of painting the lower half of the
room, doors and all! it gives the space some drama without being too crazy!
you don't see this look everyday...that's why i like it so much.

there is something about the styling in this bedroom i find inspiring,
it may be the hot pink tape over the hanging picture frame? or it could be the hot pink
doll on the floor...i don't know? i just like this room!

if i was designing a bedroom for a guy- i hope i
would come up with something like this. i think this 
bedroom is bomb.com!

i have a major design crush on brazilian designer
guilherme torres. he doesn't just decorates he creates and those are
my favorite kind of designers...those who don't follow 
"design rules"
or follow design trends. those designers who really have a style of their own...i find them extremely inspiring.
 p.s. this detail shot of one of guilherme's interiors is pretty fantastic.
i love the painted wall graphic and the styling.

speaking of designers who create- doug meyer (my boss)
i love listening and learning from him. that back drop with the sea shells...he made it.
that backdrop with the purple tiled squares...he made it. that rug...her made it!
i love this room because all the detail he put into it!! plus the color is fabuloso!

happy friday loves!

before i die i want to _______

artist candy chang turned the side of an abandoned house in her neighborhood in new orleans into a giant chalkboard where neighbors can write on the wall and remember what is important to them.
neighbors and passer-byers can take chalk and fill in the blank 
“before i die i want to _______”








once the wall was filled, it was washed with water and started again with a clean slate. all the responses have been documented and some will be included in a book. this project has gotten a lot of attention and now expanded to other countries around the world!!


so after seeing this simple but super dramatic community art project...
i'm now asking myself - what do i want to do before i die.

it’s super easy for us to get caught up in the day-to-day and forget what really matters.
thanks candy for this inspiring idea!

eye inspired: the rainbow walk above denmark!!

last few days i have had colored plexiglass on my mind 
(something i really love and so does my boss, item to bond over??)
anywhoo, earlier this week i stumbled on one of the coolest things i have seen in awhile 
(and i'm always on the hunt for creative madness) 
so i can say i have been...

::eye inspired::
[seeing something with your eye that inspires the living daylight out of you]

in the beautiful land of denmark there is an installation named "your rainbow panorama" 
created by artist  Olafur Eliasson located above the
 ARoS aarhus kunstmuseum in Århus, denmark. 
this exhibit is 493' long, 9' high and 9' wide. 


get ready for awesomeness!!

your rainbow panorama = magic!
after building models before i can appreciate this one here!
 "it gives visitors a different feeling to their familiar city, bringing brightness to the 
regular landscape, reminding us of some childhood dreams of walking through the rainbow. 
it’s visible from a far distance and it lights up at night which makes “your rainbow panorama”
 a new colorful landmark to the city." from urbanpeek.com


the best part of this rainbow...
your view changes with COLOR!
all the colors from the rainbow...so dreamy for me!


how gorgeous is this tunnel of color? can i ride my bike through here super fast listening to my
favorite jams?! #wishing





denmark is all orange! wonder what it looks like through color at sunrise
sunset?

now time for a walking tour! watch this...



i wish i could see this rainbow above denmark! 
how cool is this?!
 this is pure heaven for a color lover, pure bliss! 
thank goodness for creative geniuses like  Olafur
(can you come do this to nyc?)


who's inspired???!
xoxo
