Happy Monday! A few weeks ago many of my blogging friends helped celebrate the launch of my book by sharing their favorite rooms on their blogs. It has been a true pleasure reading their posts. Each one includes wonderful stories and beautiful photos, and I’m grateful for the kindness and support from so many talented friends.
Today I’m excited to share more of those “inspired rooms.” Blogland has changed a lot since I first started, and it’s been so meaningful to reconnect with longtime friends and meet new ones through this series. Some of these rooms felt familiar to me; others were delightful discoveries.
Miss Mustard Seed
Marian from Miss Mustard Seed has been a dear friend for many years. Her rooms are always a joy—full of creativity and warmth. Be sure to visit her post to see the rest of this charming room.
Also check out Marian’s book, Inspired You, for more creative inspiration.
Jennifer Rizzo
Jen’s home feels like the kind of place you’d love to linger in for hours. Every corner is filled with interesting details and personality. I always find her spaces charming and inviting—perfect for inspiration and cozy conversation. Take a look at her living room and her book, Creatively Christmas, for more ideas.
Jones Design Company
Emily is another longtime online friend whom I finally met in person this past fall at the Bloom Workshop. I adore her—she’s talented and genuine, and since we both live in the Pacific Northwest, I hope we get to spend more time together. Her office is thoughtful and adaptable, shaped by the changing needs of family life. I love how practical and beautiful it is.
Emily also shares lovely art prints and seasonal downloads that are worth checking out.
Rambling Renovators
Jen is another friend I finally met this fall, and she’s as sweet as she is talented. Her room is charming and timeless—an example of a space that continues to be loved year after year. It’s inspiring to see rooms that remain favorites long after they were first created.
Bright Bold and Beautiful
Laura’s family room is so cozy and welcoming—an ideal spot to curl up by the fire and enjoy the holidays. I loved meeting Laura this fall; she’s full of energy and great ideas.
Not Just A Housewife
My friend Stacy has a lovely, warm home and a wonderful eye for detail. Her breakfast room feels fresh and inviting. Stacy also wrote a lovely book about incorporating natural accents into your home, full of creative projects and beautiful photography.
If you enjoy DIY projects and bringing nature indoors, her book Natural Accents is a great source of ideas and inspiration.
Sarah M Dorsey Designs
I’m impressed by the DIY nailhead wall behind the bed in Sarah’s favorite bedroom—so striking and inventive. The pop of orange adds a playful touch. It’s a lovely, well-executed room that shows how small details can make a big impact.
