Happy New Year! And lots of inspiring rooms!

Happy New Year!
Why not starting 2011 with lots of inspiring rooms?!

Here some I found in the last couple of days...


Colorful and shiny room. The natural roller curtains. Most likely, the HEMNES sofa/bed from IKEA, that we have considered as a possible solution for the guest room. It easily expand to a double bed + it has storage space beneath.


I like the practical solutions about this room. Lots of shelves and storage space. With lots of color to cheer things up ;)

Then a DIY (Do It Yourself) project, the transformation of the Billy bookshelves also from IKEA. We have a couple of Billys as well, and I have always thought of doing something with them to spicy them up a bit. Here the final result

Found through Design*Sponge, original project from Sharon Pakir.

About the office. Here an idea I like

where the desk and other storage space are kept together by the continuity of the wooden plate above them all. Through The Marion House Book

And from the same site, a solution for sliding door.

We plan to use sliding door between the living room and the hopefully soon-to-be baby-room/office/guest room. We are still not sure that the wall we want to set the sliding door into is or is not a carrying wall, so we are considering having the doors outside the wall, like those in the picture above. I like the sleek solution to cover the carrying rail.

And for a delight, have a look at this calm, relaxing and amazing apartment found through MadeByGirl

Many sleek solutions, like all the storage space behind this white wall

and the illuminated shelves for a even more dramatic effect of the pieces displayed.
The light and the soften use of the purple color (one of my favorite) throughout the whole apartment.

And even more bright the top floor where you can also find the office corner

Again I love the continuity of the surface of the desk and drawers. And continuity of another white storage wall in the bedroom

Just so lovely, with the nook for sitting and reading

More here. Just lovely!

And if you are not tired yet. Here two more things.

One from ApartmentTherapy, ideas about beautiful organized homes


And this one AtCasa, a bright white apartment full of sleek and smart solutions


What a great way to start the year!
