your style continuously over your lifetime so it always reflects who you are today as well as where you have been don t get stuck in a time warp that no longer suits who you are if you continue to refine your home even in small ways it will feel constantly fresh and alive comments off on how to create an authentic home birthday wish list toilet seat july 30 2007 filed under authentic living decorating inspiration domesticity melissa the inspired room 9 10 am tags decorating tips we had a great day celebrating my daughter s 16th birthday yesterday this was just her family party friend event will come later she wants to take a group of girls to our family beach house which current looks like this clearly you can see why the friend party will have to wait we all had a good chuckle over how we do birthdays around our house you see we all love to get things for our house in the case of my girls they love to get new things for their rooms this is basically how we decorate on a budget year round hey sweetie your birthday is coming up how about a new toilet seat for your bathroom and a set of sheets for your bed yep no joke a toilet seat and nice sheets were among the gifts this year and she was thrilled she really was nothing like a shiny new toilet seat to brighten a girl s special day i ve trained her well we have bought something nice whatever our budget allows for our house every year for our anniversary too we almost always forgo staying at hotels in favor of shopping for something new a cool new lamp an accessory something for the walls furniture or plumbing whatever strikes our fancy or is a need that we normally would put off due to a limited budget that is our kind of romantic evening dinner and a new faucet it has worked for 20 years and we are still happily married who needs diamonds or pearls give me new plumbing fixtures come to think of it maybe that is where i got the tag line phrase for my business refining your home for authentic living we make refining our home a priority all year round with really no decorating budget we just make our home the recipient of lovely and practical gifts on holidays that we can use or enjoy all year round other people buy jewelry or cars or electronics we buy house stuff nothing really fancy just stuff that makes life in our home fun and adds to the beauty of everyday living authentic stuff like new toilet seats comments off on birthday wish list toilet seat organize first products second july 28 2007 filed under domesticity organization melissa the inspired room 9 24 pm i received a lovely compliment on my blog from brandie kajino of organize simplify today and from there my day took a new turn and as i think is the case with many creative people even only somewhat creative people such as myself they are easily moved off task by the thought of something more fun visually appealing or less mundane than say paying bills or organizing paperwork brandie s thoughtful comment inspired me to take a stroll around her lovely blog filled with organizing tips and ideas and from there after reading one of her posts i started thinking about my own tendency to shop for the fun organizing products first to inspire me of course and then figure out how to organize later usually that results in lovely empty organizational systems i didn t really need not good well the truth is while parts of my house life are actually somewhat organized everything is not as tidy as it should be in fact one of my big problem areas revolves around paper case in point i have lost my daughter s sixteenth birthday card and her birthday is tomorrow i bought the card three months ago and it was perfect for her i knew i could potentially lose it or forget about it so i put it in my pajama drawer huh yep you heard me i do not have a tickler file i do have a greeting card box but since i didn t want her to find it i didn t put the card there i put it in my drawer well or so i thought two hours of searching later i still can t find it i am sure i thought of a wonderful spot for it i just can t remember where that place is i am convinced i need a tickler file and that brings me to another excuse to shop for lovely products i won t buy any yet i promise but in case you are in the same boat here is some inspiration for all of us i could see myself enjoying filing if i had these pretties to look at or how about creating a card binder i love binders lots of pretty binders all lined up on a shelf a visual delight makes you feel organized just to see them as if you really had them filled with cards papers and not sitting there empty ok i get it organize first products second products photos from see jane work comments 1 inspired rooms filed under authentic living decorating inspiration melissa the inspired room 8 36 am tags coastal style inspired rooms do you know the difference between inspired rooms and theme rooms having a business and blog entitled the inspired room i often get asked about how to create specific themes for rooms theme rooms conjure up the idea of every nook and cranny filled with trinkets and tacky wallpaper borders dedicated to your favorite hobby or sport ok i ll admit it i don t like tacky theme rooms no more theme rooms please i know readers of my blog would never want to create a tacky room but we have all been in one right inspired rooms are much more subtle but so much more effective that is what we want right inspired rooms so how do you avoid the tacky theme room think of the mood you are trying to create let s say it is a lazy morning at a beach cottage before you run out and go crazy buying every possible lighthouse knick knack to illustrate your theme go back to the idea of the mood a mood should suggest that you are actually at the place you are trying to recreate not at a tacky tourist shop find a picture of the kind of room you want to create and take note of what you see study the fabrics the furnishings the colors the accessories to get you started a beach cottage doesn t have to have shells everywhere in order to remind you where you are shells can be a nice touch but again you want to focus first on the mood not the obvious accessories let the accessories add the finishing touch not be the main event take your inspiration from what you would see outside the beach cottage imagine the color of sand the sea the skies the freshness of the air the casualness of the environment matchstick blinds or airy sheers bare wood floors blues teals and creams an eclectic mix of overstuffed furniture and comfy places to kick back read or play board games can all add up to the mood of a beach cottage rooms with a touch of whimsy or a delightful surprise can make you smile when you see them and they can make your space personal maybe add a personal touch like in the photos above and below a formal antique painted in a soft hue also notice what i think are shells glued to the lampshade find creative and subtle ways to let your inspiration unfold as you or your guests take a closer look around lastly before you get inspired and head out to work on a room think of ways to incorporate things you love with the style of your house other rooms and existing furnishings incorporating things that are appropriate will be much more authentic and charming than things that just don t make sense if you actually live in an elegant victorian home rounding the corner to an over the top beach inspired family room will just seem forced and tacky if the rest of the house doesn t support that find ways to be subtle be appropriate and don t shock yourself as you walk from room to room if you have an old victorian work the victorian on the coast idea into the whole house not just one room you don t have to be bound to the style of your architecture by any means but keep some continuity for your house as a whole photos dominique vorillon coastal living magazine leave a comment use your own creativity july 27 2007 filed under creative inspiration projects decorating inspiration melissa the inspired room 2 20 pm tags wall art ideas upstairs hall originally uploaded by alicia paulson photo used by permission i know i have been commenting on posie gets cozy non stop but my oh my i sure get inspired by looking at alicia s charming home studio and life i knew she was talented but i could just sit in awe for days looking at her lovely photographs i promise to branch out and look at other people s sites very soon tell me where to look i am new to this but for now i have been so content catching up on her life in photos lovely even if you aren t a craft person you can learn something by observing her sense of color placement and fresh ideas i wanted to share one of her photos with you i think this is proper note photo used by permission this is just too cute and charming for words i actually recognize that second little flowered dress on the wall from my old raggedy ann doll the doll is missing right now alicia but it warms my heart to see her little dress hanging on alicia s wall this is a great example of how you can use things that you love to create art and interest in a room choose things that are lovely and arrange them in groups according to colors or common theme you won t be able to help but smile as you walk into this room and that dog how cute is he comments 1 next page
