Before I get into my post today, I just want to say a huge THANK YOU for the outpouring of lovely comments on the blog and on social media that I received on my last post. You guy are my everything and it gave me such a lift to read all your congratulatory messages. *sniff sniff* Love you guys!! Okay, on with the post…
So earlier this month, I introduced you to my style sister, Shannon of Burlap and Lace and we told you about our newest Instagram hashtag campaign #colorshare! I am absolutely THRILLED that after just 2 weeks, there were more than 200 fabulous images showcasing your colourful style!
The problem with that? Choosing my favourites was SO HARD. I knew I couldn’t just share 200 pictures with you even though I so wanted to so I gritted my teeth, and poured through every single one of them to find the ones I felt were just so much awesome, it would be criminal not to share.
So, here are some of your fabulous Instagram images and let me just tell you, I kind of want to move in with all of you, style spaces with you and visit the places you go – is that too stalkerish? Ahem…
Here are my favourites of the month of September! Be sure to show them some love by clicking on that little heart if you love these too, check out their full Instagram feeds and follow them!
I adore Britt’s living room – the eclectic styling is so spot on and the way the rug just ties it all together? Yes, please.

Joining in with @redlilocks and @shannon_burlapandlace for #colorshare fun!

I don’t think I’ve yet to meet a bar cart I don’t love but this one by Remixed Interiors has just so many great elements and that pop of pink is just so good with the gold bamboo! Be still my beating heart.
Loving the pop of color the pink lampshade brings to my bar cart. #colorshare

Meera’s little boy’s room is just so fabulous, I kind of want to move in there myself. The bright blue walls are just so much awesome and I love the comfy cushions on the floor. The Dr. Seuss quote on the wall gets extra super awesome points.
I’m so digging this rug shared by Von179! Such gorgeous, rich colours and now I want one myself.

Β Elizabeth’s fabulous design of this laundry room combines one of my favourite bold colour schemes – red, blue and yellow! So brave and not the easiest palettes to work with but the pay off? I mean LOOK AT IT.
The laundry room #projectchesterfield is so happy even I wouldn’t mind doing my whites. #littleblackdoorproject #laundryroom #happydesign #yellow #navyandred #colorshare #serenaandlily #wallpaper #urbanoutfitters #interiordesign #stlouisdesign Photo by @studiosuzanne Β A photo posted by Elizabeth Baumgartner (@littleblackdoor) on
And last but by no means least, another gorgeous rug in an outside space that makes me wish summer lasted all year. Meg, you need to wear that hat every time you hang out there now, you do realise this, don’t you?
Styling the new (to us) vintage rug in the yard ?? before its professional cleaning for ?? #PaulsNewBedroom. The beautiful #vintageindigo fabric will become a long pillow for the bed.

Yay! Thank you. So many pretty pictures. That rug is actually going spare.
I’ll take it if you don’t know what to do with it!! Hahaha! It’s stunning! xxx
Would you like first refusal? I have a more rugs than floors !
Aww that is so kind of you!! At the moment, I’m not yet in the market for one (although I’m sorely tempted) and I know Wayne has a weird veto against oriental style rugs which just makes me sad! lol But THANK YOU and I’m sure you’ll give it a good home in no time – it’s lovely! xxx
Argh! Thanks so much Kimberly – so chuffed I made the cut! And in gorgeous company too. You can come and sip cocktails in my living room any time – even if it isn’t blue anymore. Ha! X
Just left a comment on your blog – LOVE the new direction even if the ‘old’ room was so so gorgeous. xxx
Lovah! Such great picks! And SO MANY GOOD RUGS! Ahh! <3
I know right?! God I want a new rug in my dining room SO BAD after this post. It helps that Quito likes to eat it/pee on it/poop on the current one *sob*. So yeah, need to replace it pronto. Gah. xxx
Sooo thrilled to see my photo here, and in very good company too!! Thank you so much for featuring my #colorshare!
So much inspiration in these amazing interiors. Blue sofa (I want one!), gorgeous rugs, sexy navy walls with lush greenery and is that the most beautiful laundry room ever?
It was my pleasure to share! It’s STUNNING! You’ve done such a good job – clearly being away from interior design for a bit hasn’t actually diminished ANY of your talent ;) xxx
