well rounded design

i have still been keeping up with sarah’s house and i love the fact that sarah can do something so contemporary (season 1 ) and then go onto design something so country (season 3)

jessica helgerson

i did some more research on jessica helgerson and i’m absolutely loving her style. its fresh and sophisticated yet whimsical. i like these two designs in particular because they integrate foliage into the room for a more natural airy feel . fun!

exciting cubicle

this is hum by kimball office. saw this the other day and thought what fun it would be to go to work everyday and get to sit at one of these!

design shows to look for

while being home for the summer i have picked up on a little more tv than usual but i am loving every minute of it. there are a couple of design shows i am really enjoying.

divine by design on hgtv has always been a favorite of mine but i have lost touch with it while away at college. although i have lost touch, candice has not and the transformations of the rooms are still as spectacular as ever.

a new show, 9 by design on bravo, has caught my eye as well. once you get over the mass amount of children they have, SEVEN, the husband and wife duo are entertaining and inspiring to watch. with the robert’s quick wit and courtney’s get down to business attitude, you can see how this duo uses their same parenting skills to run a design business in new york.

and lastly sarah’s house on hgtv. although i have seen her show maybe twice before i think i have just now caught onto the concept. Sarah buys up a house, renovates the house room by room and each episode the renovation of one room is completed. with her 3^rd season in the works, sarah has bought up an old farm house and is making it her own. although there are bumps along the way sarah and her partner tommy deal with any problem they encounter head on and they never leave their sense of humor out of anything.

attic fun

in celebration of my attic space, i saw this room posted on the blog design sponge and found it inspirational. it was designed by jessica helgerson. i haven't seen much of her stuff but i am excited to start researching it

rack it up

haven't mentioned it yet but my room in the new apartment is in the attic of the house. it doesn't have closets so i have had to invest in some clothes hanger racks from IKEA.

in search of a bedspread

it seems as though every time i move to a new apartment, which is often more moving than i would prefer, i find myself seeking out a new bedspread. but fresh starts are nice and a good way to avoid acquiring too much junk. my bedspread for this my new apartment was discovered as my mom was leafing through the summer 2010 garnet hill magazine and she pointed it out. i have to admit i wasn't totally in love with it at first site but as the days passed the quilt really began to grow on me and finally the purchase was made. since i am home for the summer, the quilt has found its place on my bed at my parents house but i am still excited for it to brighten my room in the new apartment when the time comes.

accessories for the apt

ive been looking for things for my new apartment and ive found some neat things from urban outfitters. this is just a hook for $8
