Happy Friday Interiors

These photos come to you from a wonderful blog you can find on my "blogs I *heart*" column to the right. The blog is Daisy Pink Cupcake, and it's always a treat to visit! I love how gratuitously girly and shabby chic these interiors are. Which room is your fav?





gotta love the blue on that wall






Love this kitchen and the white chairs paired with the rustic table.




The blue interior of this book shelf looks just like the Tiffany blue...might be nice for my new bedroom...



The mirror collection above the mantle is a great idea!

Chic and easy DIY


Hanging a striking canvas in place of a headboard creates instant drama. I also think the mirrors here are great because they open up the bedroom so much! Image via HGTV


One of my favorite headboard ideas, and so easy! Just install a curtain rod to the wall, drape your favorite fabric or quilt, and instant headboard! via Martha Stewart



Two great ideas from Martha Stewart for hiding tvs. Top, a "TV cozy," just pick out a fabric you wouldn't mind looking at all the time, and with a few simple stitches you have pretty tv camo. Or install a simple clean roller shade at the top of your tv cabinet for super easy hide and reveal.


From Domino readers, you can pick up some cheap frames from a place like target, collect your favorite paper or fabrics, and frame them as art. It's inexpensive, and you won't feel guilt if you get tired of something and rotate it out with something new.



Want moulding but lack the budget? Paint some! grab some painters tape and a level to create an even line around the wall, and create the illusion of moulding in any color you desire. Via Domino



Some bathroom tips from Martha Stewart again. For a one-of-a-kind soap dish, epoxy two shells backs facing one another. Instead of ho-hum towel hooks, screw in some stylish knobs!

Great vintage and handmade finds for your home at Brooklyn Flea!

Brooklyn is a great place to live for many, many reasons. One such reason is Brooklyn Flea, brought to you by Brownstoner. You can peruse every Sunday from 10am to 5pm at Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School in Fort Greene. I know my visit is long past due...I'm just afraid that I might buy a lot of stuff I can't afford! ...I could just go look...

Here's just a peek at many of the great vendors.

Stationary and crafts from the talented Alison Tauber





Amazing fabric selection! From, Repodepot










Nightwood furniture, reclaimed wood--I'm a fan



Via Acme Antiques, some really unique furniture finds




Ama Home, I really like how bright and cheery their selection is




All you Deco fans can't miss all the great items to be found at Deco Haus






Beautiful interiors shot by Peter Margonelli

I find that a lot of time, a great resource for inspirational interiors are the portfolio's of interior photographers. One such photographer is Peter Margonelli. Feast your eyes upon some of his dreamy roomscapes!




I will have my tea in the drawring room thank you.


I've seen this before somewhere...great window treatments!



white and dark wood, my favorite combination
