Style Scouting: Vol. 225

Thanks for stopping by for this week’s Style Scouting. My Sunday post where I share the random stuff that captured my attention or inspired me that I found online.

I hope this 225th Style Scouting finds you happy, healthy and comfy-cozy while enjoying a mug filled with your favorite hot beverage.

If you read the post I wrote earlier this week, you know I am in a slow January mode. Even with my intentional slowdown, I did get the finishing touches on the changes we made in the studioffice completed.

The room has a new purpose and a new name. Today I am planning to take photos. I will share all about it this week.

Now onto the inspiring links I found this week.

    Great scouting this week, D. I loved the home tours and laughed out loud (a bit too loudly) when I saw that naming of that candle, bwuahahaha.

    Hope you have a wonderful week.

  2. Thank you so much for including a link to my refrigerator post. That made my day!

      Hi Annisa – I enjoy finding unique and doable home improvement and decor ideas that can be DIY’ed for all types and style of homes, new, old, big and small.
      Your fridge project looks amazing!!! 

  3. Thank you for these reliable and always interesting posts. I look forward to “diving in” just as I did with a new magazine back in the 80’s. I get in my comfie spot with a favorite beverage and let you transport my mind to new thoughts and things to try! Have enjoyed all 225 of them! Thanks!

  4. Love that candle name! Scary hour, I used to do a version of this. I’d pick one of the files I had to handle as the one I didn’t want to do. But in order to avoid that one, I had to get everything else done on my desk. Afterwards the difficult file wasn’t really very hard. Spurred me to get stuff done.

    Stirrup pants, I had a pair of hot pink ones in the late 60s! They’d bag out in the knees. Not a good look back then.
