Inspiring Interiors

A swinging bed on the porch? Yes, please! I like the mix of modern and traditional styles in the interior photographs by Kim Cornelison. Besides the porch bed, the mini-bar on wheels has me drooling with delight...it's adorable. The pops of wall color are fun too, but I'm still on the fence about the bright lime green. I'm not sure how long I could live with it - what do you think?

  1. I like the lime green. Maybe in a small space. The swinging bed on the porch - I'd never want to get from it!

  5. I'm in love with that first image! And that yellow cabinet is great - would love one of those (and a place to put it). I don't think I could live with that shade of green either.

  9. I have been having the same struggle with lime green and my jury is still out for me--sometimes I see it and love it and other times it hurts my eyes. Oh, love the teal blue wallpaper in that hallway.

  12. Oooh, I'm loving the blue damask wallpaper!!!
    And I could totally live with the lime green - it would have to be a space that got a lot of natural light - but it could be really cool!

  16. oh.. back years ago when JD and i first moved to seattle we did one wall in our apartment the green that you have shown and a different wall in the kitchen the orange also shown. I loved them for about two years and then they reached the end of their life. our current color scheme includes white on white with a mix of textures and materials. i hope that last longer than 2 years!

  18. Lovely photos!! I love that little white cart! Perfect for serving tea!

  19. I love color in pictures, but find it hard to live with in real life. Maybe some huge, colorful canvases instead?

  20. Lime Green? I would be over it before the paint would be dry!

    ReplyDelete
  21. i'd go for the lime green - maybe a shade less electric but still bright and bold.

    ReplyDelete
  22. These are great. The first one (with the aged wall) is my favorite.

  23. i love it! except the green and orange walls! i couldn't live with them for longer than a few weeks

  24. The swing bed is fabulous however I worry that whoever designed it forgot about sex lives? That bedside table would be knocked over in seconds. Sorry to get crass.

    I love bright colors in everyone else's houses...but I don't think I could do in my (muted, boring) home. :-)

  33. The 'floating' bed is really cool!

  34. I love, love, love color. I satisfy my need for change by painting random walls in our apartments different colors (the others are a linen white). We had this lime green on a wall in our living room for about 6 months. Liked it, but didn't love it. Went back to my mellow yellow wall.
