After yesterday’s trip through the bizarre and unusual, today I’ll try to up the design quotient and expose you to some fabulous ideas.  When you’ve got a little time (no time like the present), check out some of these sites.1-design-button4

 Visit the design site of Mint Home Decor for a treat of a portfolio.  The Santa Barbara residence will inspire you if you’re looking for a restrained beach style.

Bedroom designed by Vincente Wolf.

Vincente Wolf  is one of my favorite designers because he toys with scale and using the unexpected.  I featured him in a designer quote post earlier and his books can be found on the My Bookshelf page.  This is one of his bedroom designs, using Patriotic White by Benjamin Moore on the walls.  Visit his blog where he answers questions and offers insight into his design process.

A relative newcomer to the blogging community, just like me, Digging Decor is worth checking out.
