Hello, friends! I have missed you. I hope you enjoyed your lovely spaces during the last ~18 months of being at home a little more than usual. I thought I'd create a thread for photos of homes decorated for the holidays. As you may know, I gravitate to fairly traditional decor. Feel free to share photos of other styles if you are so inclined!
For those having a tough time right now, I hope you see something pretty that makes you smile.

I'd like to improve my home office work space. It's the first room next to my front door - really a small library space, with floor to ceiling built ins shelves on one wall and a big window on another wall. Might you have any inspiration photos of a home office set in a library?
Thank you!
Not knowing your style, I'm going for a mix and hoping something is inspiring!

Though I don't love that precise color combo, I am bookmarking it for inspiration about how to organize colored tile in a traditional bath and especially where to hand soap dishes and towel racks. Could we see some more inspo, traditional or modern, for over- and next-to-sink storage and display? Shelves, soap dishes, hand towel racks, etc.?

Kitchen is open to living room (kind of a big rectangle). Do you have any inspiration images with a layout like this? Thank you!
Not knowing if you want traditional, transitional, modern, etc, I'll just look for a range.

Anonymous wrote:I know EyeCandy has been doing some other threads, but to add on to this one if he/she still is up for a challenge: ideas for a little girls room for a child who loves pink and a mom who would prefer something that will mature with her over time. So maybe more either as an accent or in the blush/mauve realm vs Barbie pink?
I'm a pink fan, so I would probably get out the paint roller right away, but if you aren't interested in painting, perhaps giving her A LOT of pink in the rest of the room makes sense - pink bedding or window treatments, some fun art?

This looks grand, but it seems pretty simple to me.
Some interesting patterns from an installer's website...
You can post Houzz pictures, but you have to know how to spot code.
Right click an image and a box pops up with a few clumps of code. Look in the "large image" box for img src, which is the HTML code that comes before an image. copy JUST the address of the image, which will usually end in jpg.
Then come here and use the BBcode to post the image.

I've been hoping someone would be up for a bathroom thread because I have a bathroom remodel on the horizon and I haven't looked at inspiration in a while. Let's do this!

PP here. Sorry OP, I just re-read your ground rules and open to any inspirational ideas you might have for the space -- we're up for anything. Colors are lots of white with pops of dark blue Thanks!
I love blue and white kitchens. Let's see if there's anything new and interesting out there...
Couldn't resist one blue kitchen...

We are getting ready to renovate our kitchen. Small galley kitchen in a 1950s brick rambler. The kitchen is bordered on one side by an exterior wall and the other side by an enclosed staircase, so there really isn't a way to expand or open it up without a major home renovation. Style in the adjacent dining room is more traditional, but I'd like the kitchen to be a bit simpler/cleaner, if we can do that without clashing. Floors, cabinets, everything will be redone - we're a blank slate except for the floor plan. Having trouble coming up with inspiration or even places to search. Any ideas on where to start?
Okay, so we are going for simple galley kitchens, maybe covering lots of colors and styles so you might come across something that helps you find a direction.
BTW, when you are searching online, you don't always need to search using "galley." Your layout is probably fixed already, so just look for kitchen inspiration in general.
Simple white
Two tone...some people say it's trendy, but I'm not sure it'll ever be gone.
Let's look at some colors...
Hey there, friends! Looks like I have some catching up to do. I'm going to start with the request for home offices (the poster is look to put one in an attic, so I'm looking for ones in small/tight spaces). I don't know their style or if the space needs to have multiple functions, so I'm not really looking for anything too specific...

I was JUST thinking this. It's a 2020 miracle!
Maybe from now on, if things are particularly contentious in a thread, someone can throw in a "but what about those side-by-side fridges?"
This was the thread that inspired me...I thought we could use some interesting pictures to look at.
Darryl Carter's home continues to be controversial. I think it's interesting. There are tours of it on several websites. Reading the One King's Lane article, I like him! He has a sense of humor. The full tours also show that he uses shutters, romans, and sometimes nothing at all on windows. No drapes.

Anyone know which wallpaper is in the first photo with the two white dogs?
It's John Robshaw fabric on the walls. It's not on his website anymore, but it might be floating around on some website. I'm not sure of the name. Michael S. Smith designed the room.
