White Washed

For someone who is pretty driven by bright and bold colors (my room is lime green and blue with a rainbow of accents) I've been really drawn to white washed spaces lately. I love how clean the white looks, plus it allows for limitless design options and makes any plant life pop. I like the idea of doing white rooms with bold, unexpected accents, like brightly colored furniture or a crazy patterned rug.

Is anyone else obsessed with looking at other people's houses? There are so many cool spaces! I figure I probably won't have my own house until I'm on my death bed, what with my student debt and all, but I love looking at rooms with lots of windows, unique features, interesting angles... I'd love to live in one of those converted industrial spaces someday. A girl can dream, right?

 Today I thought I'd share some of my favorite things and what's been inspiring me lately. All pictures are from my pinterest account unless otherwise noted. I love looking at other people's living spaces. I have so many ideas for my future house! I love the dark wood paired with white walls in the first photo and all of the windows and textiles in the second. I would love nothing more than to have an entire wall of windows in my future home!!

 I think this berries and cream chocolate cake is in my future. Yum! I'd also really love to make homemade ginger ale! Whiskey gingers might be my new favorite beverage and I bet homemade ginger ale would knock it out of the park.

 Loving hats always and this one is especially cute with the bow! Can't go wrong with a pair of sparkly gold shoes :)

I've been feeling quite the desire to travel lately. I want to experience everything and see as much of the world as I can! I'm looking into getting my passport in the hopes that this will help push me into realizing my dreams.

I realize I haven't done a really solid post in a week or two, but I vow to make up for it! I have the next 5 days off so my plans include getting crafty on the blog and looking/applying for jobs. I hope you all had an awesome holiday season and are staying cozy!

Five on Friday// Living Spaces

If you haven't noticed already, I really love Pinterest. A lot of my ideas are adapted from my pinboards. When I feel down, Pinterest helps me pick myself back up, inspired to take on the world....or at least the day. Other peoples' creativity constantly blows my mind and fuels my desire to add what I can to the creative world. Sorry for that little ode to Pinterest (how I love thee), as it doesn't really have much to do with this post except for the fact that it is the source of today's pictures. I have a Living Spaces board of awesome rooms in other peoples' homes, which I guess might be kinda creepy, but whatevs. It leans heavily on more industrial inspired design. I adore tons of large windows, open airy spaces, high ceilings, and exposed beams. I don't know why, I just do. Here are some of my favorite spaces that I hope to adapt into my own home someday.  And I know there's technically six pictures if you count the top one. Deal.

 Love the high ceilings and general openness of this space, plus the wood floors and beams.

 Round windows because why not?

 I am far too messy to ever actually live in a space like this, but I can't help but love the floor to ceiling wall of windows on the water. So much natural light, it's perfect!

 Absolutely stunning converted attic room. With a balcony. Yes, please!

Last, but not least, the wood floors and ceilings are great, the brick accent wall is brilliant, and the tall, greenhouse-like windows bring in plenty of natural light.

What are some of your dream living spaces?
