hello bloggers and welcome to monday! this past week has been insane with projects, presentations, exams, and lots of other wonderful things, but i always try and find something good in every day, and since design always cheers me up i have found some beautiful and unexpected rooms (with a little bit of  funkiness) that have picked me right back up again... and hopefully it will do the same for you! :)

this image comes from a reconstructed barn that was remodeled into a beautiful home for a very lucky family in connecticut. i am absolutely IN LOVE with the giant disco ball. it's just unexpected enough to make you think twice, but actually blends in nicely with the "old meets new" design theme of the home.

this wallpaper is incredible! the nook is so simple, and the cubbies under the bench make for a clever storage idea. i love how the mirror extends to the ceiling... broadening the space and making the nook a creative little corner. the feminine style perfectly matches the pink pillows with the patterned wall, and attracts all of us girly girls to cozy up in it :)

how cool is this?? i have never really thought about owning a swinging bed before, but just looking at this one makes me want one! i love porch swings, and this looks like one dreamy step above that :) this bed would be especially fun in a lakehouse or somewhere away from your normal routine... sleeping in a boat bed definitely sounds like a vacation to me!

clearly i am a fan of all things cozy and this under-the-stairs nook is one of the most inventive ideas i've seen in a while! the cubbies allow for organized storage, and the nook is a perfect reading place (especially on rainy days) :) this would also be a huge hit if you have small kids in your house... they love to hide :)

okay y'all, tell the truth... is this not one of the coolest tubs you have ever seen? i am obsessed with how rustic it is, and how it looks like old wine barrels. perfect for a long bath :) y'all should invest in one of these to properly pamper yourselves :) enjoy the rest of your weeks, bloggers! keep your eyes peeled for cool designs and products, i'd love to hear all about them!
