Design Tip Thursday!

These are a couple of older projects from Jill.  Notice the way she tied the curtains in  through a bolster pillow on the bed.   A little tip is to pull one of the colors from a patterned curtain, that way it ties into the room.

This is a kitchen she designed and the curtain fabric is gorgeous!

Inspiration Wednesday

In honor of Jill being on vacation this week, my inspiration is relaxation.  Hopefully she is relaxing on the beach somewhere!  Just getting away and clearing your head, even a few days away from the chaos of jobs can make you feel like a new person.  We all need to recharge at some point.  Don't forget how important it is to make time for yourself, I know that is so hard to do when you have families and obligations.  But it is the best thing you can do for yourself.

Color Tuesday!

Today's color Tuesday is completely a classic combo, but one I have been seeing a lot of.  Because, lets face it, navy is the new black.  Navy can pair with just about anything beautifully, it has become a new love of mine since working here at J. Lawrence Design.

 This room is so clean and fresh.  Just a few pops of green, and it becomes so stylish.

Can we just talk about the nail head trim? Gorgeous.  Love this color combo.

This room features more of a navy/sage combo and it still works beautifully.

Love the surprise pop of color behind the shelves!

Organization Monday!

This blog is about my MOST visited spot in my house.  The refrigerator... I found some great tips on the best way to store your food to keep it fresh longer.  I've also included some amazing storage containers from the container store, most of which are under $10 dollars.

This article is great for tips on the best way to store your food.

LOVE this fridge.  So organized and clean.

Fridge Bins from the Container store

Soda Organizer $12.99

Wine/ Bottle Holders $7.99 ea.

Mini Stacking Bins $3.99

Loving these great items from the container store.  They are stackable, and easy to wipe down and keep everything clean.  Enjoy your week!

Cool Find Friday!

Poor ceilings, they are often painted white and forgotten... But here are some amazing ceiling treatments that will grab your attention! 

Chunky moulded beams with accent ceiling tiles.  Subtle contrast, but still a huge focal point in the space.

 Love the more subtle geometric style moulding, especially with the focal furniture.

Ooooo ahhhh, tent treatment on the ceiling in the fitness room.

Such a cool pattern! 

Enjoy!

Design Tip Thursday!

So I am kind of cheating here, I am squishing organization monday with design tip thursday because I missed it this week.  I love organization Monday, and I hate to miss out on it when we get busy.  So, here it is, nursery organization and tips!

 These are so amazing!  They can help you keep track of what needs to stay in your closet and what you are in need of.  Super helpful i'm sure after you get a gazillion clothes at your baby shower.

What little girl wouldn't love this closet? I would love this closet! Such a cute little surprise in a girl's closet.

Love this super organized and functional closest for a nursery, probably really helpful to sitters and family helping with the baby.

I found these amazing senegalese baskets, how amazing are these for ALL ages.  An easy and pretty way to store toys or shoes.

Enjoy!

Inspiration Wednesday! Use your imagination!

"Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we know and understand. While imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand". Albert Einstein.

Color Tuesday!

Since it has been oh so sunshiney lately, I thought I would do yellow for my color Tuesday and some colors it pairs well with!

I LOVE this room.  It's so cheery and happy.  The pops of a light apple green work so well with this buttery yellow.

Keep it neutral if you want to do a bright yellow like this.  Love how it is done in punches of intense yellow.  Check out Martha back there popping in with a yellow top.  Go girl! ;)

Yellow can be done in a bedroom too, best paired with a color such as this sky blue so you can still have a tranquil feel in your bedroom.  Bed time approved.

Enjoy the sunshine!

Cool Find Friday!

Jill recently told me about a company called 'Glassybaby'.  An awesome company that donates 10% of all sales to charities helping cancer patients.

In 1995, at the age of 32, Lee Rhodes was stricken with a third round of a rare form of lung cancer. The mother of three had previously given her then husband, Emery Rhodes, glass blowing lessons, and he created small glass cups, or “baby glasses”, which she would light with tea light candles to find solace during the difficult cancer treatments.^[1] Encouraged by the demand from her friends, Rhodes hired local glassblowers in 1998 to produce more glassybaby, and began selling them out of her garage. From the beginning, Rhodes wanted to spread hope and give back money from sales to help cancer patients.

The product is gorgeous and comes in just about every color you can think of!  They go to a great cause.  The website also has larger thinner drinking glasses that benefit veterans battling cancer.  So go check out this awesome company that is doing great things!

Inspiration Wednesday. Tom Ford

Tom Ford’s name is synonymous with clean, modern, upscale design. The perfectionist designer with the golden touch, Tom Ford is known for designing everything as expensive and luxurious as possible.  A former architecture graduate with an interest in fashion,  Ford went from growing up in Texas to helming two of the world’s most notable luxury brands.  He is known to most for being the creative director who basically single-handedly saved Gucci from the brink of extinction and transformed the company into a style giant. Now the proud owner of his own fashion brand, he continues his remarkable career proliferating  nothing but the most  uncompromisingly tasteful design.

Fashion is everything. Art, music, furniture design, graphic design, hair, makeup, architecture, the way cars look–all those things go together to make a moment in time, and that’s what excites me.  - Tom Ford

                                                      Chrome walls?!  Gorgeous! 

Pictures of his personal home in London.

Needless to say, he is amazing whether it is in fashion or interiors.

Color Tuesday!

This color combo is a gorgeous classic pair.  Camel and white is a simple pair, but so pretty.  Camel is a warm, rich color while white is clean and fresh.  Together, I think they are beautiful.

Love the grey worked in with these colors.

This room is airy, but while still being rich and cozy.

Organization Monday!

Make your broom closet beautiful! With just a few organizing tips, this little space can look fabulous too!  As you can see from the pictures a wall mounted hanger for broom and mop handles can keep them from sitting on the floor.  Also love the idea of hanging a paper towel dispenser inside!  

Just keep the necessities inside to keep everything clean and organized.  This closet has everything they need for a deep cleaning day!

The container store features these racks at just $20.00.  They make a great difference in the organization of the closet!
