Just SO excited about the return of Arrested Development on Netflix. This ad in GQ made us so happy! Hope it brightens up your day, too! #TeamBluth

So inspired by the table scene in West Elm's July catalogue. Designer Gaurav Nanda's beautiful Bend Seating is the perfect addition to any porch...shoot, we'd put this in a fun, little nook in a kitchen, too!  Just sharing a little inspiration with y'all!

Architectural Digest is such a design-inspiration go-to that even the ads for AD inside the magazine are stunning. This little tablescape set against traditional wallpaper and a sleek chair rail is to die for!

This Target Home ad from Domino Magazine is a great piece of design inspiration. Love the abstract art, the accessories, and the gray+blue+yellow color combo. If you like a piece from Target, don't feel like you have to do the whole room in Target/Nate Berkus accessories...mix up some pieces that you love with some vintage/antique pieces or some you already have in your home!

This Banana Republic ad in June's GQ serves full mosaic design inspiration. Love the way the blue toned tiles read...and blue and white is BACK in a big way. This chic chair is how to do blue and white in a modern and sophisticated way...it's not just your grandmother's go-to color combo anymore.

Just love this Miami tourism ad from vintage Travel + Leisure (May 2012). With the huge Art Basel presence and street art movement, and all the Hispanic influence (in food, art, life), Miami is a creative juggernaut.

Do we have cool ads like this for visiting Savannah?! I sure hope so.

Love this Jim Thompson wallpaper ad in the new Traditional Home Magazine.  A great, intense wallpaper is right in any space when it is used in moderation. Cover a nook or the back of some bookshelves and you'll get that wow without overpowering the room. 

Check out our Wallpaper Board on Pinterest for some wallpaper design ideas and inspiration.

Design inspiration can come from the darndest places.  One of our go to design inspiration spots lies in the pages of Elle Décor...not in the stories...but in the ads.  This rockin' Madeline Weinrib textiles ad is everything. I want to make, stuff, and sew a pillow just out of this ad...out of the paper...who cares...it's awesome. Love how the hues play together to make a great representation of Madeline's beautiful pieces and designs. We're hooked. Elle, we'll be back next month!

Vintage AdWatch from Elle Décor (June 2012) with this beautiful ad for Restoration Hardware showing off their standard rustic chic look and featuring a gorgeous deconstructed fainting couch.  Deconstructed furniture is a unique look and not everyone gets it...but in the right space with the right material (burlap, linen) it can look AMAZING! Come stop by Clutter for some great deconstructed pieces in store now and talk to us about how to make them work in your home.

Just because it's not a furniture ad, doesn't mean you can't draw inspiration for your home from it. This beautiful DSW ad in the APR13 issue of GQ gives us full on style excitement.

Imagine a white walled room, light-stained wood flooring, beachy vibe with a chic little white area rug...maybe faux fur, or a shag. Throw in a refined violet sofa...we're thinking violet on white toile reupholstered midcentury sofa...add a lucite waterfall coffee table with some stunning coffee table books (Dior, Basquiat, Cedric Smith's future book) and a yellow vase and call it a day.  We're thinking a lovely Cole Whitworth print on the wall to complete the look.  What do y'all think?!

Design is everywhere!

We got a thing for the world of advertisement. Especially in print media. So we thought we'd share some beautiful ads we are inspired by and keep the magazine industry in business!

This Hermes ad is killing it right now. From Honolulu Magazine's MAY 2013 Edition, we want to be this girl super hard. Maybe one day we'll be able to pull off biking on a dock in couture...a girl can dream.
