guest blogger: design shuffle

hello, i’m joanna, a guest blogger for design shuffle, a great place to find interior designer’s portfolios and room after room of gorgeous designs. i write daily on interior design topics, for instance this post about whitewashed floors. we can’t let the scandinavians have all of the fun! there is something romantic about whitewashed floors. they look as lovely with rustic style as they do in a formal space. below we collected some the most beautiful whitewashed rooms from around the web. hope you enjoy the post. do any of these images evoke visions of white floors and cool decorating ideas for you? which is your favorite?

Whitewashed Floors
a transitional space, with modern and traditional elements, looks cheery with its white walls and white floors. the unevenness of the floor boards adds character to the room.
Whitewashed Floors
an elegant and refined library sparkles with a smooth whitewashed wood floor and bright white walls.
Whitewashed Floors
the ornate and glamorous furnishings play nicely with the weathered white flooring in this luxurious bathroom.
Whitewashed Floors
white walls, white floors what a lovely setting for a tufted velvet chair and white furnishings. the natural light from the window gives the room a special sparkle. wouldn’t you love to see the whimsical chandelier light up this bedroom design?
Whitewashed Floors
smooth whitewashed floors provide the perfect canvas for a seating arrangement of greige furnishings. the resulting look is very calm and relaxing.
Whitewashed Floors
from living room to bedroom, this whitewashed room provides a bit of nostalgia which is nicely paired with the uneven, rustic floorboards.
Whitewashed Floors
wide plank flooring in a wash of white gives a rustic feel to a formal dining room. this is full of dining room design ideas. could this be great design for a country estate perhaps?
Whitewashed Floors
this foyer is a nice example of the beauty of whitewashed wood flooring and Scandinavian style in the foyer. the wood flooring comes around from the main floor and up the stairs.

bedrooms thoughts...white floors with a contemporary monochromatic colour scheme

might as well rest your head in a nice place! time to sort out by bedroom. half painted walls is not attractive.

black and white bathroom theme perhaps?

i'm just about to do my bathroom and i'm been hunting firstly for a toilet suite to go with my antique pedestal basin and taps. damn they are expensive. particulary when you want art deco style. but i am not prepared to compromise. i might have to order them for the uk as there isn't much of a variety in australia, but in the meantime, i should decide on my tiling. i still really really really want marble tiles, in a subway cut, yet, the more cost effective solution is plain white subway tiles. perhaps i should go for a black and white theme??

d-bodhi recycled furniture.... perfect for that aged look to mix with my white floors

after seeing more of lee brennan's work, i was inspired to find some more recycled or reclaimed timber furniture. one of the first sites i landed on was d-bodhi.









d-bodhi’s ferum collection of industrial -looking furniture.

home made bed with aged timber

i haven't posted for awhile so seeing as @thatpeterbrewer told everyone in a conference to look at my page, i better post some stuff quickly.

so no, my blog isn't about real estate, it is about things i love. please fee free to comment or plagiarise (as long as you link back to my blog)!

at christmas i will be at my mums far and i am determined to build a bed out of some really beautiful aged time. wish me luck! this might be one of my 'not completed' projects.....again.
