Not what you're expecting....

Could this room be anymore gorgeous???? (channeling Chandler Bing)

In my last post I told you I was taking a blogging break to get all kinds of stuff accomplished and yet not only are no projects finished (or started).
I don't even have all of my Christmas stuff put away yet!
(I hope I just made someone out there feel a lot better about themselves :)



Last week my 2 1/2 year old got sick and then it was passed to me.
So the only thing I've accomplished is just about coughing up my lungs.


So I figured hey, I can manage to upload a few pretty photos for my friends in between wheezing episodes, right?



Somehow I stumbled on this site for Arhaus furniture and they have a gallery full of these amazing rooms.


The furniture is so beautiful and the way these rooms are put together is stunning.
Even though I adore design, when I see rooms like this I know I would hire a designer in a second if I could afford it. The person (team?) that put these rooms together has mad skills!


I love to study rooms like these and get lots off great ideas for furniture placement, accessories and of course, near and dear to my heart, knock offs.



So I've blathered away about myself and haven't really commented on the photos.
So I'll end by saying...
Five lights....and they looks like crowns!!!!!!
Wowzers!


Have fun "pinning" my peeps! :)

  2. Gorgeous pictures and many ideas I would like to use. Wish I had the money to do it that way.

    No worries, we have all had the crud and my Christmas tree is still standing without ornaments!

  5. Oh. My. Gosh! I love them ALL but that last one! I could really live with that one for the rest of my life. And the windows? They make it seem like it's right out of a Jane Austen story. I'm in love.

  6. Such stunning rooms! The lighting is spectacular. I don't judge, take your time.For sure no one is going to rush in and do it for you. If anything, just hang some hearts on the tree and change the lights to red. Now you're a trend setter!
    Hope you feel better!

  10. Great rooms! I could so easily live in them all! I love the bottle rack chandelier in the first pic and remember finding one of those at a Paris flea market for about $20 and I passed it up - well, no real way to get it home. :(
