design inspiration: environments

:: amazing red rock views ::

:: a little loving. living. small. moment ::

:: tabletop designs in small spaces ::

I spent some lovely time with my family last week and enjoyed a trip to Red Rock in NV. It was - simply stunning! Wow - nature. Seriously people, I spend a lot of time on my computer and really love taking breaks and getting outside! It's super inspiring and gets my design juices flowing. the colors and natural environment were so inspiring and reminded me of this pretty + simple tablescape I had spotted at Tobi Tobin's shop last year. super pretty and easy to do - how great would this look in a small space? perfect! I am also loving the wrapped stacks of books - super cool!

And want to see more Red Rock love?

Check out my community inspired post over at my new brand company, Sweetline, and thoughts on taking those e-friends offline over at Blog Out Loud.

Love checking in on design blogger, Jonathan, over at Happy Mundane. His blog is full of whimsy and makes me smile. I spotted his new Egg Chair and can just feel his excitement! (I am excited for him and I haven't even seen his space!) If you have an outdoor space, forget the folding chair and go big in your small space. This Egg Chair is simply *lovely*!
