Lately I have been pinning interiors like crazy! Our upcoming move has got me obsessed with pretty rooms, color combinations and decor ideas. Here are four beautiful rooms with notes about why I love them so much!
This first room belongs to Paula Mills and the full tour can be seen on Design Sponge. I love (mostly) white rooms with interesting pops of color and texture. In this photo I am most inspired by the grouping of mirrors and the cozy details.
This next room amazes me. I'm obsessed with the mix of natural wood, wicker and green. The details are beautiful, especially that rug! I'm a huge fan of bright and fresh interiors.
I discovered this room on Pinterest from Blood and Champagne.
This room definitely makes a statement. After all these years I am still loving chalkboard walls. I definitely plan on painting one or two in our next space. Another thing I love about this room is how the simple color story pulls together the busy look. It's perfect!
I found this one via NY Times. 
Sigh... this might be my favorite room. I love the paintings, the many rugs, the white painted floors and the light fixture. I love how every piece is a treasure. I would love to live here. I want a space full of beautiful and unique things, and natural light.
You can see the full room on Wolf Eyebrows, photos are from The Apartment.
Follow me on Pinterest for more interior inspiration (plus other stuff). Hope your weekend is amazing! xo. Elsie

These are beautiful!!! I love the big painting in the last photo - at first, I thought it was a window splashed with paint! The first picture is awesome, but the mirrors are off-center and my OCD would kick in. It's actually my favorite room, otherwise!

The 'Blood and Champagne' kitchen is beyond fabulous. I love the pops of red with the wood. It almost looks like Blood Wood, which I love. I love the chalkboard paint too, it keeps everything youthful! Awesome finds.

haha I love how everyone has such strong visceral reactions to all the rooms. Decorating a home is such a personal thing, really!
I am really drawn to the last room! I love the white and the different colourful rugs. The large peachy painting actually looks like it's painted on a mirror! Such a great idea to bring both more light and art into a room!

Awesome photos. We're moving ourselves and I cannot wait to design our new space.

Gorgeous rooms...love the white floors, use of wicker and chalkboard walls. I think in my cottage redo I will def incorporate the chalkboard wall in the kitchen. You new house is going to look quite fab! And so authentic to the way you live.

Love the rooms you posted about. So many great ideas! and it makes me itch to get my own place...Sigh, one day, right?
The books in the fireplace is a really neat idea and we have an un-usable fireplace right now...
Thanks for the great post!

I spend hours and hours on pinterest looking for house inspiration... it's just addicting. Love cozy feels, love lots of green, love pops of color... I love all white rooms with pops of color, but never seem to be able to pull off that look! Can't wait to see your new home, Elsie!

I love the blood and champagne kitchen but I always wonder how much chalk dust gets everywhere (maybe that is just my OCD kicking in??)

You should check out this page, its from a tv show ran here in Australia called 'the block'
I think that some of the things Sophie and Dale used might be your style.
