Hi, I love you.

As an aspiring designer, I look for inspiration in projects others have done. Many times, I will look at something and immediately think of 4 or 5 things I would have done differently to improve the space. Not so with my latest obsession...Sarah Richardson. I. Love. Her. Let's just say me finding something I could improve on in her designs would be similar to me being in the same room as some banana pudding and not eating it. It's not going to happen.

I actually kind of want to marry her and be her bestfriend and follow her around soaking up whatever it is she uses to create such a. maaaaazing rooms.

Sarah's Entryway

Where do I even begin? The whitewash bench is so old and quirky and lovely....especially with all the vibrant reds surronding it.

Sarah's Dining Room

Ok can we just stop the world for a minute please? If only I could die and come back as one of those chairs or curtains or the rug so that I could just spend all my time in this room.

Sarah's Guest Room Number 1

Who says quilts are Granny chic? The brass quilt rack and the handmade quilt on the wall is a stroke of genius. Yes, I'll be copying that, thanks. I love the big brass headboard as well-- usually brass looks so 80's- but she freshened it up in this room with that funky flower print bedspead and the contrasting pillows.

Sarah's Guest Bedroom Number 2

I am now on a quest to find. those. pillows. Enough said. Notice again with the brass.

Sarah's Master Bedroom

If this was my bedroom, you could kiss goodbye the thought that I would ever come out. Well, unless it was to look admiringly at the rest of the rooms in this home. I LOVE the contemporary (the quilt, the sheepskin throw, the orange lamps) mixed with traditional (the rug, the 4 poster bed, the settee).

Wow. SO inspiring! For more of Sarah's work, visit her page at http://www.sarahrichardsondesigns.com/
