Rain boots and Flowers

With Spring quickly approaching beautiful blooms are popping up everywhere. Even if it’s not on the trees themselves, I’m finding it more important to have fresh flowers in my house to cheer me out of the winter blues. I love the idea of using an old pair of rain boots for a vase or even a planter ( if you drill holes in the bottom). What do you think?

Windows to the ceiling

I simply had to share this amazing interior with you. Natural light flooding in. You almost miss the random array of furniture because your eyes float towards the ceiling.

Dog Days

On the outside we may look different we are all the same deep down. That was designer Lisa Bengtsson’s inspiration for this limited edition dachshunds print. So cleaver. It really reminds me of William Wegman’s photography featuringfsome very famous grey hound.

Do you remember the clips on old school Sesame Street?

Player Flash King gets personal

We pulled Miss Flash King aside to get into this artists head.

DDH: How long have you been doing photography? What is your favorite subject to shoot.

FK: I’ve been doing it since I was a little girl. I bought my first camera when I was 10.  Nature is my true inspiration. The colors are amazing. Flowers have to be my favorite things to photograph.

DDH: What type style of interior design do you love?

FK: My favorite design style is Victorian. The richly colored wallpapers and carpets the beautifully detailed furniture, it is all so nice. But I also have a beach house so I like that style too. That is why I love DDH.  Everyday is like a little party when I collect my daily virtual gift. Each week I make a few rooms and always take such pleasure in working with different shapes and colors. The contest with the guest judges are also my favorite. I have won several design awards!

This design was one of the winners in the Aphro Chic challenge. I love the pops of blue!

Flash King lives in a small town in Holland near a river. To see more of her work go to her website and follow her on twitter.

 

 

Designer Peek- Beth Dotolo

Hey all, Becky here

What a great Tuesday it is when you find an amazing new-to-me Interior Designer and Blog! What more could you ask for? Beth Dotolo, over at Nest Interiors is someone to watch. Their interiors are clean and modern and they really know how to work color pops and pattern/texture laying.  The photos by Kevin Dotolo (I’m guessing husband)are simply frame worthy.  These amazing images give the space such luxury and warmth I couldn’t stop flipping through!
