I’ve got another packed day of preparations ahead of me, but I wanted to share some eye-candy with you nevertheless! Steven Gambrel continues to be a wonderful source of inspiration for me and this new project from his portfolio doesn’t disappoint. His spaces may be a little more grand than anything I’d ever hope to do, but there are so many beautiful choices, so many delicious details that I go back for more and more. As I piece together the shop and my first mix of objects to offer, these carefully curated Gambrel rooms keep me inspired.
Baskets will never be tired for me, and this one’s a beaut. I also love the black legs of this harvest table and what looks like a stone top. Great idea! You could skip the stone and paint the top white too.
A gorgeous cozy nook with three things I’m a sucker for: bottle lamp, kraft paper or parchment shade, topiaries. Yes, yes and yes!
I love this wooden cabinet (no, not painted!) and it gives me hope for the one in my shop!
This is a lovely living area and I especially like the unusual coffee table and the grouping of vintage paintings above the sofa. The colour of the door and how it’s painted a colour rather than white is also very nice. Ideas we can all use in our less grand homes, right?
A collection of shadow-boxed miniature ships? Genius! And what a landing!
And the perfect restful retreat. Another good lesson here especially if you don’t have amazing windows – layer them with natural blinds AND full length simple drapes. Okay back to work for me!!
Love all this inspiration! I especially love the ships at the landing. Very tongue-in-cheek. Thanks for posting.
LOVE. I want to live in a home this this!! OMG.
Wonderful ideas. Can’t wait to visit your shop the first time I m in your area. Nancy
Drop dead gorgeous! Yowza!
I think your new store will need to be enlarged right away to hold your wonderful treasures!
I have just discovered your blog minutes ago, from Desire to Inspire. Well, I am saving it in my favourites. I like to read what catches your attention, inspires you in a picture. It helps me to “see” better. Now, I am off to explore your entire blog.

I love the rustic undertone of every space. Each room exudes a feeling of old world adventure. All it needs is a framed treasure map!
Very inspiring. The group of vintage paintings is perfect with the wall colour.
It seems that Inspiration from Steven Gambrel are truly amazing. I really like how the house is being decorated and designed. I know that I would be able to make use of his designs on designing my new house.
Would love to know where to find the chair/ottoman…
