Recent Saves

my current inspiration explained

Who doesn’t love an indulgent round-up of inspiration? There are a lot of great round-ups on social media but I wanted to post some here with a little explanation in the hopes of inspiring us all with a little more depth. I realized as I looked through my saved posts that there are some common themes and trends I am loving so I’m going to organize them by topic too. Enjoy!

Saturated Colored Floors

I have been saving images of colored painted and tiled floors and loving them against a white background. I like this idea particularly for attics and basements - more casual and playful spaces - but I do like it in the kitchen as well!

Nubby Raffia Grasscloth Wallpaper

I love the mix of mid-century materials/furniture with more traditional furniture and antiques, and a nubby, raffia wallpaper brings the perfect mid-century nod that pairs so well with everything and will stand the test of time.

Museum Saves

Nothing inspires me like the past. It’s such a great jumping off point to gain inspiration from and then reimagine it for today. I often screenshot stories posted from people I follow when they travel and visit museums. Usually it’s the architecture and the build materials used in museums that I especially love.

Prints + Patterns

I’m not super heavy on prints and patterns in my designs - I like an edited palette at my core but I fall hard for certain ones that really make my heart sing. Here are some current favorites I’ve seen around.
