Happy Friday, my dears! I’ve been collecting some random but lovely decorating ideas on my desktop throughout the week, and now I have 10 to share with you. Have a lovely weekend, and happy decorating!
1. Spruce up wicker and faux bamboo porch furniture with mint and black paint; then add a fun floral cushion. (Image: Lonny Magazine)
2. Go for black and white chic in the dining room with a set of matching Chippendale style chairs, a graphic rug, and dramatic pendant light. (Image: Haddon Interiors via Houzz)
3. Set a lush table with a fresh pink tablecloth, tons of bud vases, and a cheeky little dog sculpture. (image: Lonny)
4. Update a vintage shelf with pale blue paint and artfully styled objets. (image: Laura Collins Design via Houzz)
5. Mixing your prints is easy when it’s John Robshaw bedding + a Madeline Weinrib rug! (image: Country Living)
6. Go ahead and scoop up that one random gorgeous chair you spot at the flea market or vintage shop – a single chair is perfect for your dressing area or desk. (image: TerraCotta Properties via Houzz)
7. Bored with your bathroom? Use the space above the tile or wainscoting to add bold stripes of red and pink. (image: Lonny)
8. Add a touch of Chinoiserie – a cabinet, a mirror, a chair; a little or a lot, you can’t go wrong! (image: Caitlin Wilson via Houzz)
9. Spice up your breakfast nook with bench seats topped with thick cushions with contrasting piping. (image: Haddon Interiors via Houzz)
10. Go shopping at Target! I went yesterday and scooped up this adorable bird lamp + striped shade, and they had so many other chic and affordable things right now it was seriously hard to resist getting more. (image: my Instagram)
I swear, I did try to make up for my creative afternoon that I missed out on being sick last weekend, but lots of minor disasters got in the way and it just couldn’t happen. But, I am all set to get to work on my painting tomorrow, and I will be back on Monday to share my progress + host another fun link party…so get creative and get ready to share! xoxo Laura

I love the idea of upholstered seating in the bathroom. It adds a touch of elegance don’t you think?

Hello Laura, I just discovered your blog the other day and I’ve just spent hours poring over all the great pictures and actually reading your posts… Usually I look at pics on a blog, and ignore the text! It seems like you spend so much time and effort to true ly communicate with your readers and connect with them. This is so great, i love your blog ( I rarely/ never comment).
How do you find time for real life as well though? This is something I struggle with – balancing my electronic life with my real life…. It seems like one or the other is always suffering from neglect!
Just curious if you have any tips!
Congrats gain on the awesome blog

I love all the pink! Especially the dining room/breakfast table in the living room. Unexpected and fanciful and beautiful. It would make a meal really special. And the room with the pink bedding and rug look especially inviting. I would love the breakfast nook even more if books had been added. I always associate comfy bench seats with book shelves.
