LATELY INSPIRED BY

If you guys haven’t seen the latest issue of Frederic Magazine, I highly recommend picking up a copy the next time you’re at the grocery store. Designer Alecia Stevens’ Minnesota farmhouse revamp is absolutely stunning, from the beautifully layered textures, soft colors and patterns to the jaw dropping, light-filled sunroom adjacent to the kitchen. (I also am mildly obsessed with the moody blue English-inspired pantry…swoon!)

This time of year is the best for entertaining in the south; we’ve been eating almost every dinner outside since the temps dipped below 90 and it’s been glorious! I dream about hosting an outdoor soiree like this Oktoberfest celebration blogger Lauren Fornes designed last year; I especially love how she layered blockprint with tortoise, bamboo and shades of browns and burgundy for a chic seasonal feel:

I’ve had the kitchen of Roman and Williams saved to my design files for years; this is such a beautiful peek of the rest of their home – so much inspiration to be gleaned from every corner (especially the library right off the kitchen…I would literally live in that space!):

What’s inspiring you lately?
