Friday Eye Candy

It’s Friday! How was your week? We are definitely ready for the weekend. I had some really wonderful conversations with many of you over in my DMs on Instagram. The subject of Instagram came up and how it’s gone from inspiration to entertainment. I could chat for hours about this but it reminded me of what I still love about the platform. For years, I have poured over beautiful images, much like in a magazine, and look at every little detail. Friday Eye Candy was always a staple around here so I thought I would bring it back today with these pretty spaces. I look at beautifully designed spaces like art and I love sharing what inspires me.

LAYERS OF STYLE

These are the images I love to pour over. This space is so beautifully designed. The wood tones, the detail in the ceiling, and those gorgeous window treatments. I want to curl up on that sofa with a cup of tea.

THOSE LINES, THOUGH

@roomfortuesday

This simple but beautiful moment really stopped me in my scroll. I am obsessed with this furniture makeover. The lines on those legs! So simply styled, but so much beauty.

GORGEOUS MILLWORK

@cellajaneblog

Becky’s home in Kansas City may be one of my favorite homes ever. It’s absolutely stunning. Between those floor and that millwork. So so pretty.

LOVELY SHADE OF GREEN

@amberinteriors

I love the use of different colors, wood tones, and countertops to really created this layered look. While new, it looks like it’s been there forever . . . in the best way possible.

WARM WOOD TONES

@stefmturner

This bathroom is calling my name. Such unique vanity and I appreciate the candlesticks and antique vase. So much charm in one small room.

Every single space is just so gorgeous. I think the common thread is that while beautifully designed, they all feel warm and inviting. That is definitely the feel I hope to achieve in our home.

CHARMING ACCENTS

I rounded up a few charming accents from Amazon that will give you that warmth and charm.

• faux roses – great reviews and come in many pretty colors
• brass vase – I love this and think I will order it for our home
• single light sconce – we’ve installed this sconce and love it
• wooden spoons – simple and useful way to bring in more wood elements
• double light sconce – looking at these for our kitchen
• pretty bowl – a little old world charm without a really high price tag
• white pitcher – a nice size for fresh or faux stems on a counter or bathroom sink
• faux stems – I think olive stems always add warmth
• decorative blanket – tartan plaid never goes out of style – classic choice
• gold candle stick holders – I may have to use these in our bathroom now
• set of two chairs – love this style and the pretty wood tone (other colors available)

Wishing you all a really beautiful Friday. I hope you find a moment to do something kind for yourself. And if you are looking for more inspiration, Eye Candy posts can be found here.
