This is the latest installment in a series I’m calling “Instagram Bookmarks.” Every other week I’ll share some of the images I saved on Instagram that stopped me on my tracks: beautiful, curated and inspiring. (Follow me on Instagram at @brittanymakes or @vintagerugshop.)

Here are a handful of images I’ve been inspired by for the past few weeks:

Simple Storefront!

After my big announcement today, this feature seems fitting! I love the vibe of this simple, yet design forward storefront. Considering our shop is in a historical district, there are strict rules around modifying our shop’s storefront, which in our case means we can’t even paint it! I love that it is already black, and am considering a similar signage design.

Pop of white!

I mentioned in a previous post[link] that I think we are finally shying away from all white kitchens. However, I’m now noticing that we are moving towards white being the pop of color in other places: accessories, furniture, pillows, etc. Loving the contrast of that white pillow on top of the leather accent chair, it pops against the muted earthy tones throughout this space. 

Bold wallpaper

Wallpaper back in the 80’s was a totally different game. We have been seeing this trend come back with full force in the past few years and I love it. Remember my master suite?

XXL kitchen islands

Perfect for entertaining! A 5+ seater kitchen island is one of my dreams! I’d do anything to have an island this big in my home!

Sculptural lighting

A great way to add a show stopping, unexpected element to a space.

Architectural Detail

From kitchen cabinet dividers to stair railings and casement windows. Straight lines, stripes and grid patterns are becoming a designer’s secret weapon to retain charm and character when modernizing a space.

Have a great Mother’s Day weekend everyone!
