Ladder Lovin…

Good Day to you! Sorry for the absence yesterday, but I decided to take the day off for my birthday ~ thought I deserved it.  It’s another gloomy day here in Atlanta, but I’m back!  Despite the gray clouds, I have some tasty coffee in hand and have been sifting through some fabulous images that are thoroughly cheering me up! Nothing like good inspiration on a cloudy day!
It is a fact that I have always loved ladders as home accessories.  Of course my initial love started in the bathroom; towels draped, stacked, displayed.  Now my admiration has expanded and believe there is no need to limit the love to just the bathroom!  In my opinion they generally steal the show, no matter what the space, my eye always seems to go straight to the ladder.  Here are some of my favorite images and ideas to add some Ladder Love to your home!

KITCHEN: Not only a fun decorative element, but truly functional! I love when cabinets and shelves are stacked all the way to the ceiling, so the addition of a ladder is perfect!

LIVING SPACE: A great way to display books, decorative items, or I think you can just lean a simple ladder in the corner and it will still work perfectly in the space.

BATHROOM: Of course, the go to option for any ladder!

BEDROOM: A great opportunity to hang quilts, use as a bookshelf, or again just as a decorative focal point.

OUTDOORS: This may be my new favorite spot! What a great way to stack pots, or as shown below, a wonderful way to create an architectural element.

Hope you were inspired! Are you going to go hunt for an old ladder?
Enjoy your day!

It’s Complicated…

Good Morning!! Hope you enjoyed your weekend!

Every time I walk into a new space, a feel like a sponge trying to absorb as much as I can.  My eyes quickly point down to look at the floor.  Head up checking out the lights.   It’s almost like a giddy electricity just shoots through me.  Sometimes the same goes for movies.  The plot’s great, cast outstanding, BUT the set…. Did you see the set?!? After staying up last night to suck in every moment of the Oscars, I started thinking about the last movie I saw whose Set design inspired me.  The first that came to mind was,  “It’s Complicated” by Nancy Meyers (and I must add Meryl Streep looked beautiful last night!, but I am glad Sandra Bullock won!).  The movie was wonderful, but I left and couldn’t stop thinking about this Santa Barbara home.

There were just so many elements to this house that I enjoyed.  I think it is timeless, lived in, cozy, and just stunning overall.  Hope you enjoyed this home and the Oscars last night.  Do you have a favorite movie set?

Enjoy your day!
