New Guest Post Series: 7 Things That Make Me (Decor) Happy

Hi there! I had this idea in my head of a guest post series based on my blog name for years. Today, I am kicking off the series and have asked some of my favourite designers and bloggers to share what makes them “decor happy.” It can be something they have in their home that they love or something they would love to have – a light fixture, wallpaper, a piece of furniture or art – anything that makes them decor happy! I think it will be a great resource for someone looking for inspiration for their space.

Today, I am thrilled to have Sherry from the popular, inspirational and hilarious blog Design Indulgence kick off the series. Sherry is an Atlanta based designer, flea market aficionado and someone with impeccable taste and style. Her home was featured in Better Homes and Gardens and I have featured her work a number of times on the blog including here. Take it away Sherry!

When Vanessa asked me to write about 7 things that make me (decor) happy I had to really think about it. There are so many things that I love.

1) This original piece of art given to me by a generous and kind artist. She reached out and painted this for me….It makes me so happy!

2) My new Visual Comfort lantern.

Now hanging in my dining room….

3) Pillows….make me happy…..

Duh….if you know me then you are not surprised:)

4) My favourite fabric….

I know what you are thinking…..but it is so perfect…..black, cream, and gray. My love affair is going strong with this one.

5) My white floors…

It has been about 3-4 years now and I would still do it again…..

6) This yummy wallpaper in my foyer….

7) My favorite white paint color….

Thanks Vanessa….for making me think of all these things that make me giddy:)

I think Sherry and I are design twinsies! Those are photos of her gorgeous home (except the last photo and funnily enough I have featured Amy on the blog before as well.) I love every one of her picks and am using the lantern in two projects currently. I have always wanted to paint my hardwood white (at least in my home office) and don’t get me going on the Hollyhock fabric (a classic) and wallpaper (stunning.)

Thanks so much Sherry for sharing your decor loves with us!

The white floor??? I wish! I love it but that is far to scary for me. Maybe one day when there are no kids or dogs running around my house. They look gorgeous!

  I think if you use the right floor paint, you are good to go! Thanks for commenting Erica.

You had me at white. The decor is so refreshing and my favorite is the eclectic mix of it all.
