Ahhhh Friday !
Normally, right about now, I’d be looking forward to coming home from work, getting covered in all kinds of fluffy blankets to fight the cold ( why is it so freakin’ cold already ?!), and gearing up for a good Netflix marathon.
But I’ve changed, man … (in a good way … I was sooo lazy.)
My brain has been overwhelmed with inspiration this week, and I’ve stayed up all hours of the night coming up with new ideas, writing and drawing on every available surface like a lunatic while staring at my walls. It. Was. Awesome !
So this weekend will be action-packed, filled with painting, installing floors and lights (and maybe even some furniture building) and I’m super excited about it !
I’ll unveil all my hard-work on Monday, but for now I wanted to write a little before-the-weekend post for inspiration.
Today, let’s look at some living rooms !
Enjoy the eye candy !
Proof you can have white walls and anything-but-boring style.
That settee is so cozy and fancy at the same time it’s making my head spin !

From Rent Patina’s Zodiac Collection. This one is “Taurus”, which is my sign, and boy, does it speak to me. How can casual be so fancy ?!

The fantastic Fig House from Emily Henderson. Love the mix of colorful carpets and velvet chairs, it works so well.
Hooray for rule breakers !

Abigail isn’t afraid of anything, and her house if the radest on the block.

The all-pink living room of the French it-girl is full of fantastic details and personality. That’s how you do a badass pink living room!.

What Would Dorothy Draper Do ? Why, checkered floors and palm-leaf wallpapers of course. Still on trend, 60 years later. All hail the Queen.

Very cool mix of colors, and such a cozy atmosphere for a pub !

The fabulous, fascinating home of Corrin Arasa, founder of Rent Patina.
The girl is not afraid of anything : bold colors, mixing styles, life-sized peacocks. Well done, lady.

I love Tony Duquette’s style. It’s crazy, it’s bold, it’s luxurious, it’s unexpected, and I bet his parties could only be rivaled by Elton John himself.

This pretty contains all of my staples : checkered floors, brick walls, neons, plants. Perfection !

And last but not least, the real treat is this amazing picture from the original Addams Family TV show set, in color ! The set designers used bright colors to create depth in the black and white image. This place is fascinating ! We’ve got stuffed animals, fantastic antique rugs, dramatic drapes, and I spy the apple of my eye – a giant peacock chair in the corner. I would’ve had so much fun here !
Which living room is your favorite ?
Meet me back here on Monday for some kitchen updates, and in the meantime, enjoy your weekend !
