PATTERN PLAY

The art of mixing prints is a fine one, and the designer of this space has mastered that skill.

Tribal, mixed with contemporary, classic, and given base by a gorgeous persian rug this bedroom is as intriguing as it is visually pleasing...

As if the patterns weren't enough stimulation, the linen wallpaper, mother of pearl chandelier, and natural wood give the room texture and coziness.

What keeps this space fresh and clean despite its business is the common white in all of the patterns, as well as the curtains which also keep the room feeling light and bright!

PATTERN PLAY

Timeless patterns, tailored pieces, and great color combinations are what I have always envisioned in my dream home.  The greek key, chevron, leopard... they are all patterns I'm not sure I will ever tire of and I love the way they work paired against these piped, sculpted, and classic pieces of furniture and upholstery...

HAPPY [COLORFUL] MONDAY!

I am so thrilled for the start of this week. For me, it really marks the beginning of a new year...

First, let me say- welcome. I see so many new faces here, which I am really excited about. For those of you who haven't been here long- I was in Europe the past three weeks with limited internet access [if you are expecting an email from me, I promise it's coming soon!]. I love getting around to all of your blogs, and will be doing so in the coming weeks...

Second- after being away for so long, I definitely missed certain things. With spring around the corner, one of those things is the unabashed use of color, pattern, texture, and overall overlap in interiors that are so unique...

I'm talking pink, yellow, and orange in the same room...

flowers, and more flowers in fabulous, albeit mismatched vases...

bright, brights + whites...

the use of pink- in general

pattern, upon pattern...

and subtle touches of glamour...

Have a happy Monday!

BUBBLEGUM + MINT

I just simply adore this space. Bubblegum pink against that oh so trendy minty essie nailpolish color, and those gggooorrrgggeeeooouusss pillows. Want some. So bad. Luckily, today Leah posted about this awesome new website which makes pillow covers for $10... and they're cute, really cute!
