Inspiration

After missing two full posts, we found a bunch of photo inspiration from various sources, to make up for the loss. However, I don’t think this counts for 4-6 days worth of posts but, we’re sharing them all nonetheless.

While traveling through the favorite blogs we follow over on Bloglovin I found my eyes newly captivated with black walls in home decor. Take a look for yourself before you think it wouldn’t look so great. We have many other #blackandwhite ideas through our Colour Inspiration Pinterest Board for more examples.

Our New Built-In (Re-Blog)

A most impressive IKEA Hack. Main pieces for this creative shelving unit include IKEA’s Billy Bookshelves (or the like), a Besto Storage Unit, along with all pieces used and step by step instructions included here in this post from “Delight Creative Home

Ikea is full of all kinds of beautiful things – much of our home is furnished by Ikea. Yes, I know, some of you are not huge fans of Ikea, but if you change up your furniture as much as I do – Ikea and Craigslist are my friends.

I have always LOVED built-ins – especially the vintage look, but since our house is from 1989 – it is not exactly vintage. So I decided to create the look I wanted in the dining room.
