some of you may have seen some of these images floating around the blogosphere lately, but i couldn’t resist showcasing them on my blog as well. linda bergroth is an interior designer based out of paris and helsinki, and i seriously want her to be my new best friend. actually, i would even be her free intern if i could work with her for a little bit. although every angle of this apartment she designed is completely amazing, i saved my favorite image for last. i literally cannot stop thinking about that painting, and i am dying because i can’t find out who painted it. if anyone can tell me, i will pay you one million dollars. but i digress. please enjoy this gorgeous apartment, and may we all embrace european design.

have you guys heard of ban.do? this online store has so many fun pieces, and i would most definitely buy everything if i could. i mean, who wouldn’t want to wear a fancy sequin scarf  or pom pom shoe clips? i think a little birthday present to myself just might be in order.

plus – how amazing is their studio?

for the first time since i was young, i am really finding myself drawn to insanely bright colors again. neon, if you will. i think i’m ready for some sunshine, warm weather, and happy hues.

even though it’s not quite neon, these images by amanda happé are just what i need for a feel-good inspiration.
