Be Inspired # 153 White Done Right.

Hi Everyone and Welcome to Be Inspired!
Can you believe that we're into the home stretch of August?
and Fall is just around the corner...yay!!!

There are a few people I can easily gush about, and Lynn from Shabby Story is one of them. Lynn and her hubby recently finished a new garden house, where these photos were taken.  Here are a few pics of her decorating start in the interior. Lynn's style and photos are always so lovely...she's a girl that does "white" right!









And here's more great inspiration from last week's party:



Mallori from Vintage Finds has been working on her Dining Room and recently found some cane back chairs to make over. I'm in love with this wonderful brick wall and another fabulous chandelier.



Karen at A Stylish Interior gave us a tour of her porches, where they recently painted them out to keep up a Southern Tradition of Haint Blue Porch Ceilings.



Tammy from My Flower Journal
created some fresh fun Flower Art using old book pages.



Pat from On Crooked Creek
has outfitted her Dress form Lizzie, perfectly for Sunflower Season.



And check out these adorable Beatrix Potter Book Page Letters
from Jamie at Domestically Speaking.


thanks so much gals for sharing all the inspiration!

Today's Sponsor is Michele from Glass Bead Treasures. Hope you'll take a minute and run by and take a peek at all the fun items in her wonderful Etsy Shop.


thanks so much Michele!
