AN INSPIRED HOME

 

Below are some images that are in my inspiration folder that I love. If you read my blog often, you know that I am not one to post a series of inspiration photo posts everyday. They have to serve a greater purpose for me, and these images do. When I decide to work on a space, I always go to my favorite photos to inspire, or a beautiful table book, and old/new magazines.

       The key is to not COPY, but take a piece of what inspires you, and make it YOUR OWN. Make it work in your space. Don’t feel defeated because your space does not look like the photos you see. But feel victorious over how you turn someone else’s creation, into something you created for your home. When you think of a home. What are your thoughts? When you walk into someone’s home. What is it about their home that captures your attention, or even when you look at blogs, and magazines?

Teak Chairs

Remember a few weeks back I posted my inspiration board for my den? Well I found my chairs. Not sure what color or material I am going to have them redone in. But I love them all together.

  

I believe in sticking with the inspiration board for major pieces, and my path is not to off. The main character is the sofa. I think I am on my way to finding that it piece with a few stores. I actually have my panels up, and hope to post photos tomorrow since I have not shared them since they have been up.

I love that IKEA Lack bookshelf. I would put IKEA Lack pieces all over if I could.

Do you like the Mid Century look? Or is it a no go for you?

XOXOX,

TamStyles

A Little Help

For those of you that comment on GIGS, and even those that don't. I need your help just a little. PRETTY PLEASE WITH CHERRIES ON TOP.

I posted a survey a while back, and yall were gracious enough to participate, and I thank you. This time around, I am asking what blogs are you reading often? If you could leave a comment advising of your top blog reads  I would appreciate it.

**PLEASE ADD YOUR PREFERENCE: STYLE or INTERIOR DESIGN BLOGS**

This is not a violation of privacy or anything. No social networking agreement to sign here in case a GIGS movie is written or something, and this post ends up in it. (key laughs..maybe)

XOXOX,

TamStyles

 

I have also added BLOG LOVIN if any of you use that service.

**Thanks for the feedback. The overall reason for this post was to piggyback off of my survey to get a general idea of a GIGS reader. Who they are, and what they read. There will be a new design, and with that new design…hopefully better content**

 

Thanks again!

Glove It

 

Yes these gloves sure did make the list. I love everything about them. Their price tag of $22.00 isn’t bad at all. The zipper detail at the bottom puts me in the mind of Patricia Fields. They run small and only come in S/M but who’s sizing when you can find gloves like these at a box store like tarjay.

 

XOXOX,

Paint Samples Going Green

Ok yall seriously. I was home this weekend, and was looking for a project to do. Yall know sometimes I get project hungry, and I needed to be fed. I have not found the art that I want to use in the dining area just yet, so I needed something temporary. My sons frames had been sitting for months, so I decided to take them over by painting them white, and coming up with something that would be easy. I love the out come. Had I had better frames, or more frames, this could have really gone far.

Those colored paint samples at the local paint store are worth more than just a color idea. I pulled all the samples that I used when Ralph Lauren was leaving Home Depot. So think about what you can do with them before you toss them! Now this is green living.

Enjoy!

Nest Dallas

 

 

 

 

            

Dallas is filled with great stores, and boutiques to please every style palate. Nest is a wonderful example of what the city has to offer. While at Nest I had a chance to meet Beth Dotolo, Principal Designer of Nest Design, and fellow blogger of Hello Splendor. She was absolutely the nicest, most genuine person I have met in a while. The crowd was great, and so were the hors d'oeuvres. I don't eat much, but could not resist those trays with a smile. We had a great time while looking at beautiful things, and will return for more. Nest also has an online store that you can visit here.

 

XOXOX,
