I am a young professional working in the wonderful world of journalism who has a knack for creativity but not-yet enough boldness to call myself an "artist." I prefer things homemade - food, gifts, furniture, decor and on and on. I try to see the best in all people and situations, as my mom said, "What makes you better than anyone else?" -- except, of course, if you cut me in line for coffee.

Gimme, gimme

I'm the first to admit, I often feel like I'm running the JanineFund marathon that never ends and constantly bustling around. Yet, some how, some way I always make time to visit my favorite cooking, DIY, and decorating sites.

So, I share with you my design inspirations this week --

I can't get enough of these colors. I love me some blues and greens-- and that artwork!? 
Are you kidding me?

I love, love this living room.
No, it's not the most perfect and pristine looking space, but it's comfortable!
My biggest rule in design is making sure your family and friends would
be comfortable there. Who wants to hang out in a perfectly placed
showroom? No one. A home should feel like a home.

What inspires me about this room is that it's edgy but feminine. 
I love the graphic rug, bed spread, and pillows combined with the delicate 
flowers. And, who can resist a pink Marilyn photo?

This bedroom is dreamy. I normally don't like matching chairs but
these I could love for life. The designer took great use to the
wall space when hanging that vintage 20s mirror -- the sash is
to die for, genius.

I will never organize my books by size again. Granted, this "library" makes my
one shelf of books look shameful but it's about making a design idea
work for you. Ammiright?

Maybe soon I'll give you a tour of my own apartment design... Stay tuned!
