“Sometimes a summer ‘staycation’ is the perfect way to rest, relax and rejuvenate. So what better place to soak up some sizzling sun and glorious fresh air than in your own backyard retreat?
Break out the summer wine and cocktails, your favourite fresh fashions, a few good books and escape to your own personal outdoor oasis.
This week Style at Home wants to embrace the backyard boards — those pins and pretty things that celebrate making your outdoor living space the best it can possibly be. Here’s what we found!”

Random Monday inspirations

Use old linen curtains found at Flea markets to set a rustic table.

Use Harrison Howard beautiful wall paintings to create a focal point in any room,

can you imagine a child’s room? Fairytale!

Use a corridor wall for a design board, or collection of family photos

or inspiring images clipped from magazines.

Use an empty frame in front of a framed mirror (it can be a more simple frame).

Use an antique chandelier and luxurious draperies in an industrial style loft.

Use a contrasting trim on a solid color curtain to make it extraordinary.

Use  Schumacher's Tortoise Shell wall covering for a built in cabinet.

Some ideas are simple to replicate and they will make a tremendous impact in your house. All these images and many more are on my Pinterest boards, and I collect them to remind me of the beautiful things I see on other blogs and magazines (sources for above images are on my boards). I am addicted now… and I find it very useful for all my interiors projects, but I admit, sometimes just for the joy of finding beauty!

Follow me on Pinterest and you’ll see what I mean.
