I don’t know about you, but I love color. I love pops of blues and greens, maybe sprinkle in some pink. I envy a room with crisp whites and bundles of colorful joy in little nooks and crannies – just enough to make you swoon.

Now, before looking at all these, I want to preface this by saying that these photos are not the most amazing rooms I have ever seen. I have seen some gorgeous rooms that I could add here, but the photos I normally save to my inspiration files are rooms I think I could actually incorporate into my home in the future, or ones that I could take elements from to recreate. I see plenty of rooms that are spectacular, but that do not look like “home” to me and

After packing up all of my crap and hauling it out, I realized my room looked pretty good. Sad isn’t it? It looks good when I’m not living there anymore. But, I’m over it. I took a bunch of pictures and thought I would share
