Home Invasion

Photobucket

We interrupt your regularly scheduled blogging with a special service announcement: I have house fever. The hours I spent digging through online shops and playing in my closet have been replaced (temporarily) by google image searches of home decor and vigorously refreshing new listings on Redfin. My husband and I are looking for a little nook to call our own and frankly: it's become a full on obsession. Now, I know that this post has little to do with fatshion per se, but by finding a home with a full size home office will LEAD to the completion of my "top secret" new plus size fashion endeavour. So, with that THINLY veiled explanation in place, I thought I'd share some of the GORGEOUS decor inspirations that have kept me from chubbling your bubble these past few weeks.

I might never leave the bath if this was mine...

I think this is from a men's fashion campaign, but the colors are spot on for our master bedroom

Turning a bedroom into a huge closet/vanity? Yes, please. This is from Anna Sui's home.

Dining Room...the sleekness calls. Though, 50's diner dining sets have a special place in my heart.

I LOVVVVVE all white kitchens. Or silver and black, but frankly: all white seems much more common. But pleeaaaaaaaase, NO BROWN!

Living room of doom. Or joy. You know what I mean!

Does anybody else have the same obsession? I'd LOVE to see more photos/blogs with fabulous images. Comment section, please!

  1. When I see things like that, I just want to move out and get my own little flat... I would have a lot of whitewood and black and vintage things in my home. Totally different pieces in a kind of chaotic look but in the end everything would go perfectly together!

  2. I totally have the same obsession! My husband and I were looking to move into a new unfurnished rental place but we decided to buy a new car instead! So we've managed to square it with our current landlady to buy some of our own bits and have our flat redecorated. Its almost the same as having a new place!!

    I also don't count sheep if I can't sleep, I redecorate/refurnish friend's houses/flats into my style...!

  3. Where did you find these pics? Argh, the last is exactly the colour scheme/look I want for my bedroom! It's currently red, black and cream and fairly gothic but I'm torn between going all girly and quaint, or a literal version of my blog layout!

    You'll have to take photos of your place once you find somewhere!

  4. Katrin - Sounds gorgeous! I'd rather chaotically fabulous than boring any ol' day!

    Monkey - I'm glad I"m not alone! I'm glad you can get a bit of a re-fresher...always good for the mind and soul.

    Lauren - I decided to blog AFTER hours of looking, so I didn't save all of the credit information on the images. I looked through tumblr searching "interior decorating" and "interior design". I also google image searched both of those phrases. And lastly: I looked through apartmenttherapy.com A LOT. I will definitely do a grand tour when everything is said and done. <3
