Good Style Design: Teal and Grey Dining Room

Last but not least, I want to share my favorite dining room design from Good Style Design. This teal and grey dining room incorporates classic furniture with an updated color scheme. Keep it simple by painting the walls in Benjamin Moore's Plymouth Rock or go bold and select a teal paint color that coordinates with the area rug and dishware color. I would suggest using the white upholstered chair at either end of the table mixed with a set of aluminum chairs on both long sides. This look will give an eclectic designer feel and is perfect for a transitional or contemporary home.

Good Style Design: Lime and White Home Office

I am a big fan of a great home office. These days more and more people have the opportunity to work from home, and a dedicated space to focus on work is a must-have. A home office should be an easily organized, functional, and comfortable space that you actually want to spend time in. This light, bright home office scheme can brighten even the darkest of days. Accents of lime green tie the look together while adding an element of fun. We've all got work to do, so let's make the best of it!

Check out some more home office designs here.

Painted Walls: Chevron

The chevron (aka: zig-zag) is a well-known pattern that has definitely maintained its popularity over the years. One of my favorite ways to incorporate this pattern into a space is to paint it on an accent wall. It can instantly add bold personality to any room. A larger scaled chevron makes more of a statement while a smaller scaled version of the pattern is a bit more subtle. I would suggest sticking with lighter colors to achieve a calmer look that won't completely overpower your space.

Good Style Design: Steely Grey Bedroom

Last week I posted one of the many Good Style Design living room inspiration boards, and next up is the bedroom. This look is one of my favorites for the bedroom, because it's calm, neutral, and stylish. It has a transitional feel, meaning it's the perfect balance of contemporary and traditional. The mirrored night stands give a touch a glamour without getting too "girly", and the patterned area rug adds visual interest to the space. The owl lamp finishes off the room by adding an element of fun.

Valentine's Day Accessories

Like it or not, it's Valentine's Day tomorrow. Single or attached, everybody loves love (even the self-proclaimed Valentine's-Day-haters secretly do). So give in to the pink and red holiday and wear an outfit with some heart tomorrow. Now I'm not suggesting you wear these colors from head to toe, but subtle accents can go a long way.

DIY Tile Coasters

I'm a big fan of re-using, re-purposing, and re-styling just about anything. So when I came across a collection of beautiful mismatched tiles in my sample collection, I knew that I had to put them to use. I quickly realized that they were the perfect size for a set of coasters. No two are alike, which to me is the best part. To create your own set of tile coasters visit the tile section of a nearby Home Depot or Lowe's. Stick with a general color scheme to tie your collection together. Make it a fun and easy weekend DIY project that doesn't requiring much DIY-ing.

Get inspired by my set of tile coasters:
