Hmmm, so with 2012 here in full swing, I m really really craving something new around here. Like not a complete overhaul, but I would really like to have a more updated look in here. When I look at the posts here, I just feel like the cottage looks so tired! (Maybe its because of the PINK paint that we inherited…) Since painting is sort of out of the question, because of the serious time commitment, I am just spending hours on Pinterest, reading design blogs and design books  that I got for Christmas, just trying to come up with some new ideas. It also doesn’t help that work has been indundating me with Kelly Wearstler styling…Ooh, while we are on the subject, I should DEFINITELY recommend this book:

If this book doesn’t make you crave something fresh and lively, I don’t know what will! I don’t know how I went so long without it 🙂

Now, I am going to share some of my inspiration pictures with you so you can get an idea I’m what I’m thinking for the future of TTC.

Jealous of John and Sherry’s old rancher…

Lauren’s cute apartment in NYC…

The rest are from Pinterest…*dream*

So I think I have a good amount to work with. Just a little more depth and more personal pictures. I got a bunch for Christmas, and I have some plans for them in the future! SO what do you think? Its a lot more colorful than usual, but I think just one striking wall, and the rest neutral is my new style. A little cottage, a little modern, whimsical, cozy, sophisticated, tailored, and clean. Is that too much?
