For Real

So you all know that I love interiors, design, architecture and all the good things that make up this trifecta. And of course I adore beautifully styled, professionally photographed spaces done on "unlimited" budgets. After all, who doesn't love to live vicariously through these spaces? But, that being said, I'm totally head-over-heels for a creatively designed room put together on a "real" person's budget with a big whammy of an outcome. Something along the lines of the above images.

This home is not culled from the pages of a magazine, although I think it deserves a full spread. Instead, it was styled and photographed by Lori Andrews, a.k.a. the 10 cent designer. I love the amazing expanses of white punctuated by the glorious, albeit subtle, explosions of color. So beautifully done and better yet, inspiration that is attainable. Nice work Mrs. Andrews and that's my ten cents worth.
