One favorite pastime of mine lately is to browse the submissions from over 1,600 members who belong to my Interior Styling group on Flickr. I am constantly amazed by the talent there and thoroughly enjoy it and think that you may too. Here is but a glimpse of some of the most recent submissions, these spaces are so nicely arranged — there’s nothing like the authenticity of a “real” home that hasn’t been fluffed and groomed to perfection. They are perfectly imperfect, with heart and personality, and this is so inspiring to me. Have a look…
Pretty shelves: 1. Haust 2. bigiork 3. ATLITW
Sweet little corners: 1. The Happy Home 2. tovemichelle12
Cozy bedroom inspiration: 1. The Happy Home 2. Lisa Airdrie
You can pick up so many ideas for decorating your own space from regularly visiting and participating in this group. We even have monthly challenges to keep it fun and interesting. To view more inspirational photos taken by members of their own homes, or to join (it’s free!), please visit Interior Styling on Flickr to view over 2,000 submissions!

How lovely – all of them! The very first photo makes me want to put a small book rack like this on the wall beside my desk – I am thinking back to your BYW course, and I think this would be a beautiful way to keep a few inspiring books and (pretty) style files handy.

So inspiring! I’m dusting my camera as I type and start taking some shots around the house (after doing some re-styling).

I looove Lisa Airdrie’s bedding. The pillow and duvet are amazing. Any idea where I can find these for myself?

I was so happy tonight when, as usual, I come home and check if there’s something new to read on decor8, when I see my photo there!
Thank you so much Holly, and I really wanted to say that 80% of my styling ideas come from reading your beautiful blog!

Wow! So much color and flare in these home shots. I’m going to hop over and check out the styling group now! Now to just make my own home feel more authentic…I wonder if it is easier to do if you own a home vs. renting one? Because in the back of my mind, I know I’m going to have to pack up and move within a year or two…

oh wow, thanks for all the love holly!! i love this group – and the challenges. I was determined to make this year count in terms of practice, practice, practice with my styling and I guess I must be on some kind of right track because you keep using my pics – that is one of the biggest ticks of approval a girl could get! thanks for all the encouragement and pulling together such an inspiring group of clever people! xx

That pile of magazines as a nightstand is brilliant! Alas, I already have a nightstand – and I’m still trying to figure out what to do with the tons of magazines camped out around my house. Definitely going to check out the Interior Styling group.

On picture 3, I love the “red” cross on the Wall in a turquise version. Very Nice selection.
