Links and a beautiful home!

I've had a couple webpages open to brilliant ideas for about a week now and it's driving my computer-techy bf nuts....so I thought I'd save them on this ol' blog and share the love with others!

Things on my screen lately:

• This beautiful ombre DIY tablecloth tutorial. She's right, they'd be awesome in a wedding!
• These festive streamers.
• I've decided that in my place, 2 small coffee tables would be much more functional than our current medium-sized ones. So I'm planning on making a pair of Moroccan tables.

Secondly, a while ago I posted on small space designs and how storage can beautiful and functional. Little did I know that entire house is beautiful, functional small space inspiration. All images from Casa Valentina, enjoy!

Things I like:

Here's the original image I liked. Great storage, sequin pillow, gold armchair


Natural look, informal entry


small bench, easy-going vibe


Open shelving, silver drawer pulls, silver accents throughout




Fun tray, stainless steel sink


Modern chairs with feminine chandy and table


Lady like mirror, pretty flowers


Simple but pretty

not the biggest fan of the living room, actually. Awkward scale (why is this underlined? how do I make it stop?!)

Although I think the scale is off, I like the relaxed vibe


Metal collection trays, velvety blue pillow


Clothes rack! Storage on top of storage!


Love that the painted pipe that makes up the clothes rack makes the clothing look almost like art


I think I've posted this pic before. Long shelving provides lots of storage but also a place to display your favorite things.

So what do you think? Lots of great small-space inspiration, or what?
