Full House

Inspired by Williams Sonoma Home

One of my favorite catalogs for inspiration is Williams Sonoma Home. I didn't even
realize they had a catalog until a friend mentioned it a couple years ago. If you'd like
to request to be on their mailing list I've made it easy for you, just go here.

I love the symmetry in this room, and would have thought of the chairs, tables, and even
lamps. But, two sets of matching pillows and the garden stools - I would have thought
that's just two too many...but it looks fabulous, and especially against those vibrant walls! 

This happy explosion of layered colors is fun and fresh, yet looks timeless.  

Gorgeous rich neutrals. Did you notice all of the same pieces as in the first photo? The side
 & coffee tables, chairs (different colorway) and garden stool take on a totally different look.

 The unique spacing (actually, no spacing!) of the photos in this gallery wall caught my attention.

Casual, comfortable and collected with a great mix of styles and patterns.

 A library in the dining room and the perfect pair of drum pendants....sigh.

I've always brought home souvenirs when we travel, but this makes me think I need to up

 my game. :)   

 I've been conditioned to raise an eyebrow at light golden wood tones, you too? Next time I
 start to question them I'll keep an open mind. Beautiful neutrals against crisp chalky white walls!

 Hope you found some inspiring ideas!
