The ART of Doing Stuff.....Home Tour (Via Made By Girl)

I came across a blog called 'The Art Of Doing Stuff" and the author Karen, was nice enough to let me share some pics of her home with all of you. You see, Karen's home was also recently featured in Style at Home magazine (which I'm a BIG fan of) so I knew her place was quite special! My favorite decor items in her home are the gold ornate mirror, huge portrait in dining area & the cream and white hide rug. And you? What do you like best about her home?

I will only post a few pics here, so you'll have to go on over to Karen's blog to see & read about the rest of her home.

Inspiration to Create...

I swear, sometimes I come across photos of homes that put me in a design daze (I mean that in a GOOD WAY, of course) where all I can think of is how I can apply something just as beautiful to my own home. Ever felt that way?? I L-O-V-E that feeling!  Perhaps it's just plain INSPIRATION, but it gives me motivation & desire to want to create! This is what I'm talking about below.

Style at Home Magazine....

I'm sure many of you heave heard of Style at Home magazine, especially my Canadian readers, since it's a Canadian mag. I can't believe I hadn't blogged about this publication before...especially with their website being so full of beautiful (and large) photos! This particular home (below) on their website really stood out to me...dark wood floors, large windows, white walls and so on.  It's the kind of home I dream of when I close my eyes. Well, it's one of many....


Do any of you own any issues of Style at Home?? What do you think of the magazine?
