With The Royal wedding only hours away, I couldn't help but wonder what keepsakes and mementos are out there for this Royal event. I found a few of my faves. Check them out in the slideshow to the right and comment below to tell me which are your favorites!

A great room design should awaken your senses. The room should literally draw you in. There needs to be something that beckons you to come in see, touch, feel,and yes even taste it! There are many ways to do this to a room but textiles is one of the easiest and quickest ways to do it. below is a small example of fabrics that can be added to bring life to a room. I hope you enjoy!

Textiles

In this living room, there are many textures, it is a great example of how adding texture can make or break a room.This is what makes this room with minimal color come to life.

For me, there is nothing like the feel of a comfortable squishy leather chair to curl up in with my favorite design magazine or book. I love everything about it from the smell to the feel of it!

Great design always includes a variety of textures. This is what helps bring character to a room.

This simple piece of fabric can completely change the look of a room by updating an old piece of furniture.

Today is a relaxing day for us all, those that are celebrating a holiday and those of us that are just enjoying a day off from work to enjoy family, friends, or to simply do nothing! Me? Well, this is my housecleaning day and believe it or not, I really enjoy it. It therapeutic for me and instead of cranking up music I crank up the design videos for some inspiration along the way! I thought you would enjoy some interior dreamscapes today as well. Enjoy and let me know which ones are your favorite dream rooms!

Paint by Flowers

I love flowers, as most people do. . .however, I cannot grow flowers but I don't let my lack of a green thumb deprive me of the priviledge of having beautiful flowers. I always treat myself weekly with fresh flowers from one of the local florists. . . or I will grab a bunch from one of the local grocers! These magnificant bursts of colors can provide the most inspiring color palettes, so maybe the next time you are trying to decide what color to decorate with, maybe you should grab a bouquet of flowers!
