Rooms to Build A Dream On {living etc. + marie claire idees + creative home + better homes & gardens}
SWOON! I love every nook and cranny of these photos. I am a sucker for color and pattern as you all know, so these spaces really do speak to my kind of style. It never ceases to amaze me how with just some creativity with the color wheel and playing around with patterns and textures, how those two elements alone can transform a dull room to something quite spectacular! Living Etc, Creative Home, Better Homes & Gardens, and Marie Claire Idees are my favorite print design/creative living mags (of the few that are left that is..lol). I can always count on them for some great color inspiration. Here are a few of my favorite picks from their last issues. I also love Martha Stewart Living of course, however I find myself not buying it as much as I feel “my creative ideas” would not feel as original, but just a subconscious remake of what I have seen in the mag. Did that make any sense? I think you all know what I mean.

I completely agree with you wanting your creative ideas to feel original and not a remake. The best part of being creative is finding an idea and developing it on your own into something unique. I love the feeling that I am the only person in the world who created this unique thing–even if I know I’m not!

These are pretty inspiring rooms. I love how they are all unique and original and colorful and sometimes a little messed up. Not too designer looking, just real living.
