AFTER
With great pieces and warm color choices this room need only be tweaked. Positioning the furniture conversationally and accommodating a natural traffic flow, this space was redesigned to it's full potential.

Super Great Idea!

Artecnica launched this product back in 2008 as part of their Artecnica Wiremore™ collection, a series of electrical products aiming to change power cords and wires from "concealed, passive objects into visible, active elements that aesthetically and functionally energize living and working spaces". [via dezeen] The one I love is Joris Laarman's "WirePod." It is a flexible gray power pod that begins with a three-prong plug and branches out into four curled arms, each with a single three-prong socket. Its arms and body roll and unfurl as needed to adjust for your functional living space.

Material(s): Thermoplastic rubber
Dimensions: Power Cord 12.5-feet; Rolled Up W 18.9" L 28.9" D 1.9"
$330.00*, Buy it here.
*yes, that is a lot of money for an extension cord but I didn't say I bought one, just that I loved the idea ;)

Where's that magic carpet when you need one?

Standing at my window I watch snow falling in April cover over my just blooming hyacinths, THIS is where I'd like to be.

Inspiration

Color Crush

I have an overwhelming desire to paint all of my walls white! So crisp and clean. The look is timeless and can run the gamut between contemporary to traditional style.

SDC

The Scandinavian Design Center has some amazing finds and these fantastic headboards are just an example. They are made using Plexi Glass and offered in all bed sizes. The black "Sir Elton" is probably my favorite but then again why choose just one.

Color Crush

Not just the color of Fall, orange can be used in so many situations. Use it on an accent wall for a brilliant splash of color.
