Inspiration? Decorate! (No. 2)

I did an Inspiration? Decorate! post earlier about my bedroom decor. Here’s the second installment, about my living room and its inspiration piece.

The inspiration piece is this pillow from World Market.

I loved the colors, the pattern, the clean but organic shapes. It really appealed to me. So I took a couple home with me.

Enter: deliciously burnt orange curtains and curtain hardware which mirrors the leaves.

Then, I mixed up some paint colors that were pretty close to those in the pillow, and went to town creating my living room art.

Add a throw and you have….

That was in Columbia, SC still. So here it is translated into my Pensacola, FL home.

So, what are your favorite inspiration pieces? How have you incorporated them into the decor in your home?

    Yeah… not much of an Autumn in the SouthEast anywhere, it seems. Thanks for your kind words, Stephanie. :)

    I guess this didn’t go through before but I wanted to say I love the room! I also live in Pensacola and my house looks a little bit like yours. I don’t feel like we have much of an autumn here so I have to make up for it with decorating in green, brown, red orange and yellow. :-)

    Nice job, lady. I’m impressed!

  5. MrsDragon says:

    I am seriously about 10 seconds away from stealing your coffee table! ; )

    I love the way the room turned out, it’s pulled together and still inviting. Want to some decorate our house? : D

    Dayum, Girl! I am impressed! We just decorate with Boba Fett collectibles.

    Growing the design into pictues just blew me away! Great idea.

    It’s pretty :) You did a great job on the paintings!

    I tend to start with a color and branch out.
