Rachael Bell Interior Design

Inspired by ⛳️

Last night I had some girlfriends over and we made vision boards for our year ahead…not because it is an important ritual for any of us, but because I had no less than 50 design magazines piled in the corner of my bedroom that were begging to be thumbed through. I was reminded how refreshing it can be to create just for fun. Pair that with the sweet laughter and conversation of friends and I’m headed into my weekend with my cup filled all the way up!

I hope you have a warm spot to gather with people you love this weekend. Here’s a space we designed for that inspires warmth, comfort, and relaxation 🪵🔥

I can’t lie - I’ve been a little Grinch-y this season. I’ve been tired, overstimulated and overwhelmed. But a beautiful refrain keeps playing in my head 🎶 The weary world REJOICES! 🎶 What a promise to cling to! Christmas will still come in spite of my measly efforts and we have good reason to celebrate. Merry Christmas week to you, my friends!

Here’s a dining room we designed for

What is it exactly that makes time go by so fast this time of year? Is it the shorter days, the full calendars, the constant reminder to “soak it all in” because next year will be different when kids are a year older, loved ones are gone, etc etc...? I’m still processing that it’s Thursday and not Tuesday, while wondering where the month of November went. It’s hustle and bustle, all right. I hope you find some time to unwind this season.

Here’s a lovely lakeside porch we designed that would be perfect for just that 🪵☕️🧣
