get your week off to a colorful start...

How are y'all doing? I'm still recovering from camp and took it slow all weekend (highlight: a trip to the Roanoke Valley's newest brewery). This week's clicks include flowers for days, dresses for all of your summer occasions, and the history of a Southern classic. Coming to the blog later this week, I've got a great new Pinspiration post and reviews of some recent entertainment faves. As always, shoot me an e-mail about what's new and awesome in your life - I'd love to chat!

LISTEN.

• Summer is always when I listen to country music the most, and I'm currently in love with the new track from local boys Old Dominion (two of the band's members are from Roanoke). Also, a country music video with video game references and bloopers? What a time to be alive.

SWOON.

inspiration: cabin and woodland style home decor

Winter always makes me crave cozy, warm style inspired by a cabin in the woods...

1. World Market antelope print throw pillow  2. Patch NYC woodgrain throw pillow from Target  

3. "Animals of North America" print from Keiko Brodeur on Etsy

4. Pendleton blanket from Cabela's  5. Terrain faux birch straws  

6. Patch NYC ceramic cake stand from Target

I love mixing rustic items like a Pendleton blanket with more sophisticated, modern pieces.

Pantone Winter 2012 - Orchid Hush & Quarry for the home

Our home has some touches of gray and teal here and there, but these finds from around the web make me want to add more!  These colors are so versatile.

Allen and Roth lattice wallpaper from Lowe's - if you are a fan of this pattern, 

check out this kitchen on Flickr, too || Ballard Designs "Bold Faith" giclee, $349 

** If you want to add any images from this post to Pinterest, please click the link and pin from the source! **

I feel like the horse giclee above deserves to be paired with other subtle equestrian touches, like these trophies from Antique Farm House via Miss Mustard Seed.

For similar style to the Ballard giclee on a budget, many Etsy sellers offer horse artwork.  I like this photo print from MadeByMoonGirl.

I love the wall color, Benjamin Moore Stonington Gray, and most of all

 the stone fireplace in this living room via Your Nest Design

Brown leather and bronze accessories really pop against gray, as do dark 

woods, as seen in this curated vignette featured in Country Living.

This kitchen from The Handmade Home is wonderful: the wooden flooring, the rag rug, the 

green canisters, the pendant lights... think I'll add a rag rug to our kitchen this summer.

I can see this cute little West Elm bowl (now on sale for $13) being right at home in the kitchen above.

A totally different kitchen and dining area with a similar color scheme via Image Spark.  Those marble countertops  and the stone fireplace are so sophisticated, but the wire basket and plants give the space a farmhouse feel.

This laundry room from DecorPad via The Borrowed Abode is one of my favorite decor photos ever! 

 That rug, the wall color, and the schoolhouse light fixture make it so homey and fresh.

Using fonts as art is so creative.  The wall color is Nightingale by Benjamin Moore - via Your Nest Design

Pillows from West Elm, $34 and dedeetsystop on Etsy, $40

Love this chevron quilt from Honey Bear Lane
