Friday's Inspiration

Thom Filicia is awesome! I love his style and I love this room. Love the chandelier and love how the ceiling is painting a color other then white.

Tuesday's Inspiration

I thought I'd try a new feature on h2urHOME and post daily photos of rooms that have inspired me through the years that I've stored away in my hard drive. Unfortunately, I won't always know the designer but if I do I'll let you know and if I don't know the designer and you do please feel free to let me know.

Today's photo is designed by Nate Berkus. We all know him from Oprah and honestly who doesn't love Nate? I love virtually every room he designs. It seems most of his spaces have a organic feel to them and I really love how he always incorporates the owner into the design. There is always something special in the room to make the room feel like home.

My Living Room

My living room is a combination of about every store you can think of. The paint on the wall is linen by Restoration Hardware, the rug from Walmart, the couch, ZGallerie, the coffee table, Crate and Barrel, the tv cabinet, Martha Stewart, the chair, Pier One,



the curtains, lamps and small table are fromTarget and the cd cabinet and black side table are from World Market, The screen is an antique bought from an auction over 10 years ago and most of the items around the room are made by my daughter or given to me from my grandmother or gifts from the people I love.



The fireplace was resurfaced with slate this summer and done for a bargain using large slate off the shelf from Lowe's and then cut smaller. The room has happened over time and like always is a mix of high and low priced items. I think the key to a good room is to take your time and let the room come together. I think when you do that you end up with a comfortable room that means something to you!
