I am attracted to a wide variety of styles.

If I had to design my dream home today, I would definitely be conflicted.

Whenever I see a simple modern interior, I love it.

Interior designer, Natasja Molenaar, portfolio is packed full of simple interiors.

I particularly like this home.

I love that it is not too modern but it is still so simple.

And I can’t get enough of the black and white color scheme!

Could you live in an interior like this?

I am always looking of the perfect accessories for bookshelves, console tables, side tables, and dressers.

I love using colorful books and boxes to add some interest to a space.

Yesterday I stumbled upon this great company, Smock. 

Sometimes I wonder if I live in a hole, how do I not know about all these places yet?!

They have the most amazing selection of paper boxes!

Here are a few of my favorites…

Wouldn’t these add the perfect amount of color and pattern to a bookshelf or console table?

Best news, they are only $6.00 – $18.00 a box.

Love that.

They also carry an amazing line of gift wrap (and a million other things!).

Go here to check out a simple DIY tutorial on wrapping books.

So easy and makes a big impact.

Did you already know about Smock?

I spend most of my nights working on online designs.

I love it.

This design was really fun to work on because the room has great bones.

My client had hired a designer in the past when ordering all of the furniture.

She now wanted to complete the room and add the necessary finishing touches.

I am a big believer that good design is in the details.

I loved selecting the accessories necessary to take this room from good to great.

I added pillows, a rug, mirror, drapery, pictures, and accessories to complete the space.

 I wanted to simplify the mantel, bring in some color in the pillows, and soften up the room with creamy drapery.

This sunburst mirror from Wisteria is really going to give the room a focal point.

I think it is going to look great.

I can’t wait to see it complete.

Today I am introducing you to another Best New Blog that I recently stumbled upon, Strawberry Chic.

Not only is she adorable, have great style, and good in the kitchen, she also graduated from the same design school as me (just a couple years after)!

Hi, My name is Andrea Hudson, I am a design/lifestyle blogger over at Strawberry Chic. I earned my degree in interior design about 2 years ago but I currently stay home to do the “mommy” think and throughly enjoy the time I spend with my 1-1/2 yr old son. My design career hasn’t exactly turned out how I always envisioned it…but, I try to incorporate design into my life as much as possible, whether it’s doing small projects for my home or helping friends and family members with theirs. My little family has been living in New Mexico for the past 9 months but we are originally from Tacoma, Washington, which we truly miss, and hope to make it back there someday!
