The other day I was looking for living room design inspiration, and i was at a loss. Upon my mother’s recommendation, I decided to go into my “vault” and grab some  old issues of House Beautiful. I started in 2009, and whoa. It seems to me, after going through the entirety of 2009, that there is no other year of House Beautiful that has more photos that are blogged about, pinned, printed, loved, whatever. I mean for Lacquered Life alone, three posts this week were spawned by HB 2009. I feel as though I have seen so many of these interiors so many times – and not just because they have been around for 4 years. I cannot believe that all of these “well-loved” pictures are from  a single year. Below are some of the culprits.

 Ned Marshall, March

Miles Redd, July

Jonathan Adler, May

Windsor Smith, September

And my personal favorite, again, Albert Hadley, July.
