It’s no secret that I am a huge fan of Instagram and Pinterest (you can follow me here!). I am constantly saving photos from both platforms that I find inspiring. So I thought I’d start a new feature here on the blog where I share five of my favourites that are inspiring me each week. Here are this weeks five favourites:
1. The exterior of this house by Kimmel Studio is so dreamy. The shingles, the white trim, those steps leading up to the front door, and those two round windows. I’ll take the ocean front view too!
2. This formal living room of Ali Fedotowsky-Manno is a neutral lovers dream! Im particularly loving the window shades, the gold accents and the arm chairs especially combined with the shiplap.
3. This kitchen by Life on Virginia Street has been all over the internet recently and for good reason! It’s just that good! I’m feeling so inspired by that blue island and those Serena & Lily pendants! Those chairs are pretty nice too and the styling is perfection.
4. This bathroom by Christine at @mrsandrusiak is all sorts of gorgeous! The dark vanity with those bold and stunning knobs is just so so pretty. Also loving that marble tiled floor and the shape of the toilet (who knew a toilet could be inspiring?!)
5. This weeks last photo is this photo from a Style at Home spread of Jillian Harris’ bathroom storage cabinet. Particularly loving the storage of the sponges and hair scrunchies. Scrunchies as decor… I love it.
What’s inspiring you this week?
This farm was pure magic. As soon as I drove up and caught my first glimpse of the fields I was awestruck. Walking around it was even more magical. We made sure to show as much respect for the farm and the plants as possible and no sunflowers were harmed in the taking of these photos. It was not busy when we were there and we got to really take in the farm for all its beauty.
Fast forward to the next weekend; news of this farm had travelled and suddenly I was reading reports of 7000 cars showing up in one day. Police had to be called, people were parking illegally and crossing dangerous roads of traffic on foot with strollers, they were avoiding paying the entrance fees and were wandering into the fields from the roads and trampling over the plants. Sadly this lovely farm had to close for the season (possibly never to reopen again). I am so disappointed this happened and my heart hurts for this farm and these flowers. I feel so lucky that these farmers opened up their magical sunflower farm to us and that I got to experience it (and to do so with my kids). I hope that they do reopen one day and that I can go back again as it was truly such a beautiful place. 
For the switches, we installed a 
We also installed a few switches and outlets in our master bedroom – some with 
We chose more of the soft tap switches in here as well and another feature I love about them is that they have a tiny light in the middle. Its not super bright and it is so helpful when you’re getting up in the middle of the night and need to turn the light on, as there is no more fumbling around the wall looking for the switch.
The best thing about the adorne collection is that it is totally customizable – they have 
The USB outlets have also completely enhanced the functionality of our spaces. My husband used to have a power cord under his nightstand to accommodate all the things he needed to plug in (a lamp, a phone charger, a laptop charger etc. ). But with these new Legrand outlets with built in 
Finally we installed a few outlets in our kitchen too. I love how the covers are so clean looking and modern. These outlets and switches have not only added some style to our kitchen and home but they have definitely added some value to our home as well!
