Glamorous and pretty inspirational rooms from....Ikea!

Ikea's styling gets better and better. I love looking through their magazine for inspiration on how to better organize and create functional living systems. I was really impressed with the new 2010 magazine and the great rooms they shot. Here are some of my favorites. Which do you like?

Pretty and white, but still lived in

I love how this room shows that you don't need to always use pretty decorative boxes. Clear plastic containers are no fail, and even I use utility shelves in my office. For a busy lifestyle and tight deadlines nothing beats it. And this image shows that it can look nice as well.

Oh how I would love to have a daybed in my office...I'm just afraid that I would use it as a "sleep all day" bed


Amazing storage and workspace!



Isn't this bedroom glamorous?

A sense of calm on a frantic day - charming farmhouses

Fridays are wonderful, don't get me wrong, but Friday is always the busiest day of the week in our office. So, for a little breather, I decided to escape to the country.

What farmhouse would be just right without a farmhouse sink?





So this kitchen is maybe a little too dark for my tastes, but I love certain elements, like the worn look of the furniture, and the little herb stand.


I love the hand-chiseled beam as a shelf

A screen door as a pantry door!? Pretty cute.

White + Blue = Love

I love the composition here...

Every I see a piece in that blue, it only reaffirms that I really need one!



Gorgeous farmhouse bedroom!
