The Glam Lamb

A day doesn’t go by that I haven’t wanted to blog a fabulous post about the new things I’ve done to my apartment, and the lovely things that have been going on lately.

But, I am taking a moment to step back, get the creative juices flowing and do a bit of relaxing!  I miss blogging and will be back soon!!

Please stay tuned!

Put pop art, deep plum walls and a cheetah rug – and all you get is the most stylish living room.  EVER!  This is the room designed by Daniel Romualdez which was just featured in Architectural Digest.

It’s a good thing my boyfriend doesn’t read my blog because…..

It lets me share the custom valentine card I had made for him!  Hope he likes it!!

I ordered it from SparrowScriptNest on Etsy – check it out HERE

Have you checked out Shirley Meisel, principal designer of Mhouse Inc.’s portfolio?  If not  - you should.

Her style is known to be “modern yet warm and approachable” and I couldn’t agree more.  I’m totally digging her use of color in neutral spaces, and adding touches of whimsy with so much style without being cheesey or over the top.

I love a great work space that could bring out the creative juices – and this right here is deinitely that space.  Not only is it beautiful and cheery, but it’s also super user friendly.  Good storage, a large space for an inspiration board, and a great size desk to lay it all out.

This post is going to be a bit different from the usual.  Pinterest is FULL of funny quotes and words to live by, so I thought I’d share my favorites with you.  Besides getting the best style and design inspirations from Pinterest, you can also get advice and inner motivation.  Creativity and positive thinking all in one place.  I like!

I mean.... REALLY!?

This couldn't be any more true for me!!! I always get the damn words wrong!

Ugh.... I get so homesick. Sometimes there is just no where else I'd rather be than with my mom.

How funny is this?! And so true!!

I hate how true this one is! If ya didn't care, you wouldn't be upset! Such a burn!

Stop making the same mistakes. Gotta learn, don't do it again, and move forward! This is so true!!

In a nut shell... Don't leave the house looking like a mess, put on lip gloss.... because you will run into a really hot guy at the grocery store.

Attention: All Boyfriends!! Read this!! xoxo

Words to live by! Amen.

History sure does repeat itself and that is100% proof with these pictures of rooms from the 1950′s and 60′s.

If I can give any advice…. if you ever are getting sick of your chesterfield, Eames chair, tulip table, zig zag rug, flokati, greek key trim, bargello pillows…. DO NOT GET RID OF IT!!  You have two options, you can either put it in storage and hold on to it until you really miss it, or send it to me!!

The chesterfield sofa, the gallery wall of photos and the zebra hide.... What interior design buff doesn't work with all three of these elements?

This room screams Jonathan Adler. He definitely got some inspiration from from this room.

Alright.... those flowers are a bit dated... But that settee is stunning and I LOVE that zig zag/flame fabric.

The tulip table, flokati rug, layered pillows, garden stool, and that chair! So mid-century and yet so current.

“Her colors are pink and pink!” (Name that movie and I’ll give you a present! (SERIOUSLY!)

So – Pink.  I am totally digging the color right now.  Especially neon and super bright pinks.  Its bold, unexpected, and sort of plays neutral.

I've always loved this living room that was featured in House Beautiful. The pairing of hot pink and turquoise is so fun. It's so happy and springy to me. (Can winter please be over?)

Painting the walls hot pink is BOLD and it works fantastically! Image via here

This is a personal favorite of mine since I have charcoal painted walls in my home. I love how they did a tonal lookwith the settee matching the wall color. It really makes the hot pink pillows pop.

Living room designed by Elizabath Carney. Feminine and gorgeous!

Another feminine and romantic room but with more electric accents.

Hope you are having a fantastic weekend.  I have absolutely no complaints.  Last night I had a fantastic girl’s night, and then woke up this morning to find out that the BF really hit up the gifting suites at Sundance and is bringing home some fab goodies .  Tonight I am hanging with my Lincoln, doing laundry, blogging, and just enjoying therelaxation of being home.  Good stuff.

I just came across this living room, and I fell in love with the combination of colors,  the mix of different period pieces, and mix of casual versus fancy-pants.  Also, I am loving that hint of black and white stripe peaking out from the skirt of the sofa.  The upholstery is insane.

Chic.
