. . . and here’s what I found!
HOUZZ is on my Tops List of “commercial” or “media” decor websites. APARTMENT THERAPY ties it for first place. Email updates and new articles arrive quite often and I always give them a big slot of time for viewing.
Not sure what search terms I used here, but was probably looking for background or displays for shelves.
Above reminded me of a paint card sample book. Fun, right?!
Here, note how they wisely used that alcove for great storage and display space, and then detailed it by continuing the pretty accent wall color just into that upper, open area. Very nice.
We’re I’m thinking about a new color for our three main accent walls, and was probably concentrating on colors when I found the room above. I had a more bronze-ish green in mind, rather than the brighter acid color here . . . BUT . . . look at those beautiful steel doors and the mid-century furniture pieces. Wow.
The search topic for this final pick was “window seats”. While it isn’t exactly that — look closely, those are under-lighted shelves above that seat, not windows — it presents an interesting idea for a small, enclosed room, gives extra storage . . . AND was certainly an unexpected find.
No matter the search term or article title, you always find so much more than you asked for on HOUZZ and APARTMENT THERAPY. That’s what makes it such fun and why I enjoy spending time there (Hubs says too much time). But you never know what new inspiration will hit! My HOUZZ BOARDS are here if you’d like to see them. So if you’re having a rainy or killer-heat day like we’ve had here lately, settle in, grab the device of choice and go exploring.
Until next time, try to stress less so you can accomplish more. It always helps me.

Those steel doors would look great cut down for your kitchen gap to put pots and pans inside 😋
Hhmm . . . that might be cool. I think Hubs could fabricate something too!
