I came across this image the other day (on Pinterest of course) and wouldn't you know, I was actually able to follow-up on a source for the image! A couple clicks led me to the web site for <a href="http://www.sagedesign.com/">Sage Design</a> and then I was hooked. <br /><br />I love the clean, fresh, classic spaces in their work. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Blue & White Delights from Black & Spiro

Morning y'all!  Well, today is pretty much an overall gloomy day.  It's cold and rainy and poor Edward has a bad stomach virus.  This is his first one in life so he's totally confused about why he feels so bad and it's so sad.  Needless to say, I need a pick me up.  So I'm turning to one of my favorite designers Anna Spiro and her newly launched web site for <a href="http://www.blackandspiro.com.au/index.html">Black & Spiro Interior Design</a>.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The Next Wave in House Beautiful: Margaret Kirkland Interiors

Morning y'all! Thanks for all your sweet comments on my guest post at <a href="http://theenchantedhome.blogspot.com/2012/10/a-perfect-fall-day-with-jennifer-of.html">The Enchanted Home </a>yesterday, and a special thank you to Tina for having me and saying all of those super nice things  (your $100 is in the mail).  Also, <i>Hellooo</i> to my new readers who came over from The Enchanted Home. <br /><br />Have y'all seen the November issue of House Beautiful? It's real gewd.  In fact, it's so good that <a href="http://www.belclairehouse.blogspot.com/2011/01/welcome-to-belclaire-house.html">The Suze</a> pretty much ripped out every page in the issue.  This is her way of dealing with her magazine hoarding problem.  Rather than keep an entire issue, she tears out the page she likes, stuffs it in her handbag where it will then be placed in a file folder to be placed in a basket that someone other than herself carts up and down the stairs (that basket can get heavy y'all).  It works because it keeps her stuff contained to a basket, but it doesn't work when the entire issue is great.  Obviously, she didn't realize the entire issue was great until she got to the end and realized she'd torn out every page.  Silly Mama!<br /><br />Anyway, one of these ripped <i>and dog-eared </i>pages looked something like this:<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMDwacSO1UY-XAnGwXt6cuJZI2ZxWqK8sQYWqlb13HcxUKoXCUVUjejZtJRAUB0m6pd4vF24sqdBTkCJLrHfDkd2s95GBx7YAu7nOQinpeR6CYyoGLMH9wUyJMFpOt51EO3EdNROcmaHI/s1600/Picture+3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMDwacSO1UY-XAnGwXt6cuJZI2ZxWqK8sQYWqlb13HcxUKoXCUVUjejZtJRAUB0m6pd4vF24sqdBTkCJLrHfDkd2s95GBx7YAu7nOQinpeR6CYyoGLMH9wUyJMFpOt51EO3EdNROcmaHI/s1600/Picture+3.png" /></a></div><br />We were like, "ooooohhhh pretty! I want all of those things and that birdcage."  I was surprised to see it was done by such a young designer, <a href="http://margaretkirklandinteriors.com/about">Margaret Kirkland</a> of <a href="http://margaretkirklandinteriors.com/">Margaret Kirkland Interiors</a>.  Actually, I have no idea how old she is, but she looks young so I'm just guessing here.  It's no secret that my taste is veering in a more traditional direction.  It's more about separating <i>what I like</i> from <i>what I want to live with</i>.  I like lots of things I could never live with, if that makes any sense.  So it's fun to see someone who looks to be around my age doing traditional and pretty interiors. <br /><br />Here's some more pretties from <a href="http://margaretkirklandinteriors.com/">her web site</a>:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwgACxM2VOmKW5gjXMYZJrHJY-fz7PnoXl3ENMKRqSjAGiYUIea9z5PtXVlmue2PDy2fqtizq7FvMBN9lPIzpLPyuE7W-uN-KcIm7Cr81Tv8RwUGp6pDrWaAuOCw8dJ3BbYc9fI03Vk94/s1600/Margaret+Kirkland+Interiors+2+Loggia+PageImage-502321-2846717-IMG_0211.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwgACxM2VOmKW5gjXMYZJrHJY-fz7PnoXl3ENMKRqSjAGiYUIea9z5PtXVlmue2PDy2fqtizq7FvMBN9lPIzpLPyuE7W-uN-KcIm7Cr81Tv8RwUGp6pDrWaAuOCw8dJ3BbYc9fI03Vk94/s640/Margaret+Kirkland+Interiors+2+Loggia+PageImage-502321-2846717-IMG_0211.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><br />I've said previously that I can't live with much red in my house, but those lanterns could come live with me any day.  I love the floral nooks with the pistachio painted moulding and the black and gold sconces.  It's such a mix of styles but looks so inviting!  <br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMKoiv4NjR40rH_DsUEMCWamjPfLdZFu6ERLS2aXEXXMBN7aRJTzjWyYmyiAQsiHb2jayR2vygKkl3B2YKVSep2rVdidVmQI5906uf7z02Agb442CqdDoCr3dljfjP_U47Vn2tKzkBIPQ/s1600/Margaret+Kirkland+Interiors+3+House+Beautiful+PageImage-502321-2846733-MaliAzima_MargaretKirkland_110.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMKoiv4NjR40rH_DsUEMCWamjPfLdZFu6ERLS2aXEXXMBN7aRJTzjWyYmyiAQsiHb2jayR2vygKkl3B2YKVSep2rVdidVmQI5906uf7z02Agb442CqdDoCr3dljfjP_U47Vn2tKzkBIPQ/s640/Margaret+Kirkland+Interiors+3+House+Beautiful+PageImage-502321-2846733-MaliAzima_MargaretKirkland_110.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Here's a better image of the one from House Beautiful.  This garden room is huge, but she did such an amazing job of making it feel cozy.  I love all of the seating and that birdcage.  I need a birdcage somewhere in my abode. <br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsEehe6qyjVN4bVMdoFEgzrZ2126v6e6lnWJO85z1Ug5WWnctTJDYbAomscVVC5TGPZ_d4I4t-YrwLlhWRg0Hz731knQ9cpgPJHiV5cVncNcqXxDKR62Ollih3kdvWQiazmItM_YEIntI/s1600/Margaret+Kirkland+Interiors+Entry+PageImage-502321-2835738-KirklandClarendonPlantation31518.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="486" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsEehe6qyjVN4bVMdoFEgzrZ2126v6e6lnWJO85z1Ug5WWnctTJDYbAomscVVC5TGPZ_d4I4t-YrwLlhWRg0Hz731knQ9cpgPJHiV5cVncNcqXxDKR62Ollih3kdvWQiazmItM_YEIntI/s640/Margaret+Kirkland+Interiors+Entry+PageImage-502321-2835738-KirklandClarendonPlantation31518.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Love this entry! The wallpaper, the giant botanicals, the bench.  It's so bright and pretty.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcc2cXKxYg5gVnE8mfBIcw8Wt1cGNvfJ3_9Y8ZQHuWvH1UMWKtorT1a9TOzUxppSLH6oeDqyKP3Kl7N7wsOWOj-HkF2P0W2OC_8gnZj_Xn0tZ_p-5c325uFiWfUwZ7NA5hIj2mHEQCK1k/s1600/Margaret+Kirland+1+Bedroom+Soft+Pistachio+Pleated+Lamp+Shade+PageImage-502321-2846732-MaliAzima_MargaretKirkland_076.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="391" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcc2cXKxYg5gVnE8mfBIcw8Wt1cGNvfJ3_9Y8ZQHuWvH1UMWKtorT1a9TOzUxppSLH6oeDqyKP3Kl7N7wsOWOj-HkF2P0W2OC_8gnZj_Xn0tZ_p-5c325uFiWfUwZ7NA5hIj2mHEQCK1k/s640/Margaret+Kirland+1+Bedroom+Soft+Pistachio+Pleated+Lamp+Shade+PageImage-502321-2846732-MaliAzima_MargaretKirkland_076.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />And, of course, a bedroom (I can't not include a bedroom).  I love the white walls and the soft color palette.  Something about pleated lamp shades makes me happy.  It's a little detail that I always appreciate.  Does anyone know where I can get pleated lamp shades that aren't $500? <br /><br />I like her style a lot.  This is one lady I'll be setting up a Google Alert for.  Just kidding that's totally creepy.  But I will be sure to look for more of her spaces in the glossies! <br /><br />To see more visit <a href="http://margaretkirklandinteriors.com/">Margaret Kirkland Interiors</a> (you'll be glad ya did)
