Ever save images…and title them something like…
Living room inspiration…with no other credits?
Is it just me?
SO…as I wait for my nailheads and wax to come…to finish two other projects...
I peruse a bunch of LR inspiration pics
and I’m not sure what I loved
something in each of them, undoubtedly.
I recently found some Benjamin Moore Aura paint in Marscapone
yum...i am sooo distarcted by the name of paint...you?
that I plan to paint our LR and maybe foyer with...
just splotched it on...like?
Maybe that is why I saved this image...
Aha… no. This one is for the shelves…painted white. I plan on that.
watch me experiment…more splotching...
This one above is for the art…I am sure...We have an abundance of mismatched art
that I love in all of it's mismatched glory….that I want up. This one has been leaning behind the couch
tsk tsk
I think this one above was for the big art. maybe.
I’m getting confrused, scooby.
Do you all do this?
Do you all have any suggestions?
Do you all know whose images these are?…cause I would love to note them. Really.

Haven't a clue about whose photos those are. But as usual you get me to thinking. I have a ton of mismatched art. I'm thinking that I like less on the walls right now. I alternate between streamlining things and then cluttering it up. Funny white must be making a comeback. I painted my room a warm cream color and so far have nothing on the walls and am really enjoying the whole Amish type feel in there.
I mentioned you on my blog so maybe you'll see some new folks visiting.
I bet you saved that picture for the parrot on the lady's shoulder!
Great looking rooms. Maybe a young JFK
nice art
I used to do that with images all of the time, now i use Evernote (Free!) and "clip" the image, it saves the image and the source! So much easier. Here's my public Evernote if you'd like to see it, maybe you'll like it? http://www.evernote.com/pub/theshadesofpink/inspiration
Beautiful images! I love the white!
HOla amiga!! Love all these images, but I am afraid I am not help with the credits. I do love all the different art displays. I just bough t a new piece that I will post soon but I am struggling with shifting my furniture around!!
I could be totally wrong but I think the first image is from Elle Decor, and its the home of the Theory founder. Its one of my favorites!
I do this with your pics. Like this
pothead Linda.
I love you, have a great day, I'm gonna have to get a zebra rug one day.
I was going to suggest what Sheri already said - Evernote! I clip everything, and it links right back to the source.
I'm not the only one who does that - phew! I'm dying to know more about that first room!!!
Serena
i do that too! i try to keep the source but sometimes there isnt one. i collect pictures because one day i plan on making a lil scrapbook of soothing, comforting pictures to browse through for my own enjoyment. THAT CANT BE WRONG!!!
glad to know i am not the only one..
and i WILL check out evernote.com
thanks!

I have no idea whose images they are but they are all impressive rooms. I do cut outs from magazines for inspiration. I like ot spread them all out on the floor before me. :)
Oooooohhhh...you have the best art! Love the new piece...where did that one come from? Please, already...just send me the baby painting. :)
In case you didn't know...Amber is heading to Haiti next week for about 45 days. Let me know if you want more info.
:) lurve, Sal :)
I do this all the time....although since I started blogging, I am trying to do better. I will have to check out the suggestion from one of your readers, because for me right now....post it notes on everything!
Funny, I do the same thing. I HAVE started trying to remember to memo myself under the pix description when I save it. Are we all tired of colored walls? I have been thinking A LOT about creamier, whiter walls.
I like how you just paint it on the wall, I do that too and have my clients do the same!

I dog-ear pages in magazines and then try to figure out what was so special about that page. So yeah I get you:) Cool images...no wonder you saved them.
Me too, have to look into evernote! Color names, oh, you got me there..., the name has to be right, or I don't buy the color. Silly, silly me. And with right I mean "sea related" like ocean mist or sea foam.
It is strange that you mentioned this today... Last night, I pulled out a folder of saved ideas and, like you, I did not save the credits, magazine names, dates...ANYTHING, but the photos. (This was before blogging, so maybe that can be my excuse.)
Although I have no idea re: the sources of your photos, you have some truly great inspirations in them. I especially love the mismatched are (I would like that!) and it has inspired me to rethink a wall in my family room. Time to get out the paints, again!
Have a fab weekend!
Jane (artfully graced)
Mascarpone is apparently always delicious :)
Linda, the first image is wonderland! Love everything in it!
I know that image 4 (with the shelves) is a Swedish home via Skona Hem. It is all that white!
Happy weekend! And I am looking forward to seeing your new walls. I need someone to push me to the paint store!

Well, I have to admit something, now that you mention it...I'm so guilty of doing this 3/4 of the time!
HA! You are so cute! I do save images in a house idea folder, and I rip pages out of magazines and put them in scrapbook type binders called Drool Books. Thank you for the BD wishes!!! It's off to a great start. Have fun with Milo! He is so photogenic and has overcome his fear of large dogs biting him into tiny little pieces...unless the Dane does something. **kisskiss** Deb
Exactly the right thing to do, Linda!...your magazine pics are so you and what you're up to...I can see the changes coming on...still working on the big butt chair?
That's why I always read the comments too!
I just learned about Evernote from your readers and plan on checking it out.
I love the site Houzz because you can have a file to refer to as well.
All of the time! Especially my pre-blogging days images. I am definitely considering "Evernote" because I've heard it mentioned on a few different blogs. Might be worth exploring! Have a great weekend! Marija
This post made me laugh because I always show my Husband photos for inspiration and he'll say "I do not like that room". And I'll say "no I'm talking about the color of that end table.
Now I have files on wishpot.com labeled 'windows', 'kitchens', etc. There's an area for notes, or you can title it...and then find the link again. It even gives you a little button to add to your toolbar. No I'm not getting paid for this.
I save my pictures titled with what I liked about the room, so I don't have that problem. I don't have a blog, and I'll never be able to afford a designer, so I don't bother with crediting the pictures.
The one with the mismatched art and table with two chairs I've seen before . . . or rather, seen a later, more done up version of the same room, at least three times on different blogs. Can't remember who it belongs to, though. Someone in New York who works for a magazine. The cream colored frame near the top left corner is a drawing done by his kid.
i used to do that too (forget a pic's source).
but lately i stamp the name on them in paint.
i think those rooms are great.
...some have a fear of 'color'.
i have a fear of white.
go figure.

I do the same thing. . . those are beautiful, I can see why you saved them!
Oh yes, all the time. Usually inspiration for my works of art, however I am forever redecorating also! I really need an assistant and my most wonderful daughter in law is getting tired of me asking HELPPPPP!!!

lol...I dod this all the time...cut pages out and a year later wonder what in the heck did I like about this???? Shows you how fast our taste can change...
I know whatever you do and decide will be fab, fab, fab! Have fun, -s
These are inspiring. These are all great. Thanks for this post
I loved looking at your photos..I tear pictures out of magazines all the time of rooms I'd like to copy...I have so many how do I begin..your paint color is perfect for the look you going after. Good luck - I'm going to follow you now so I can be sure to catch your next photo post..
The first interior is utterly fabulous. Great post!
xx,
Samantha
I'm just like you Linda!( if not worse!) Now that I've learn't about Evernote through your blog I'm going to start doing the right thing!

What ever you decide will be gerat Linda, as you've just got it girl! But please so the BIG art thing, I so love that look, but our dodgy, sloped, weird ceilings mean they cut my walls off & they aren't big enough. I'll just have to live voraciously through you!
