pretty colors

This gorgeous spread stopped me dead in my tracks.

It just happens to be the exact color palette of my baby's room.

Loving those oranges and blues.

color inspiration

I'm working on a room right now with the exact same color palette as this vintage suzani throw from Jayson Home and Garden. Now if only I could squeeze an extra 2,500 out of the budget to nab this beauty then we'd really be set.

I am just loving the pop of the pink, coral and turquoise against the caramel tones. It is such an unexpected color palette but it feels so fresh.

CC on Studio 5

Are you struggling to come up with fresh color combinations for your home? 

I'll be on Studio 5 this Thursday discussing some fun ideas and fresh takes on color. 

I'm loving the color yellow these days. I'm designing a room with punches of mustard and I can't get enough. Maybe it is my longing for spring but don't these lovely images make yellow look really fresh and appealing?

I'm loving this soft and supple color palette. J. Crew is currently loving it too. 

These neutrals with a touch of pink would be beautiful in a master bedroom.

These gorgeous moccasins are hand made by one hip girl who writes this blog. 

Too bad little Winston has dinosaur feet. I wonder if they come in my size?  

In case you were wondering...

I think blue is the perfect color. Especially in the right dose. 

One Kings Lane

Did you see the new images at One Kings Lane? I love the styling. 

If you want an invite leave a comment here. They have amazing stuff! 

One of my clients has 2 golden retrievers and we're using this exact color of blue in her master bedroom, so I had to post this picture for her. She also happens to be an extremely talented jewelry designer, whose products are carried by Sundance and Athleta.

swoon

This room makes my heart skip a beat. Leave it to Miles Redd to make all my design dreams come true. 

I'm doing a room with a red/grey/aqua combo right now and this image from the cover of December 2009 Elle Decor went straight in to my inspiration file. I'm not normally a red girl but this room had me singing a different tune. You will want to run to the sotre and buy this issue if you haven't already.

Aren't those pelmet frames around the windows just perfection? And don't even get me started on the sofa or chair.

Ahhhhhhhhhh.

bookmark

I've had this souleiado wallpaper bookmarked for quite some time. I'm just waiting for the perfect spot to use it. I love that the motif is traditional, but the colors are bright. And the price is just right. 

lovely colors

I picked up these pillows a couple of weeks ago for a master suite I am working on. In the end we decided to go with a more muted color palette so these went back to Anthropologie. 

I was sad to see them go. I love this color combo and the crewel work is beautiful. 

The good news is this print also comes in a rug and window treatments so maybe I will find another use for this gorgeous pattern. 

The ladies lounge

Without further adieu I present to you my latest {almost finished} project. We are still waiting on some pieces for this room including art and more accessories but I couldn't wait any longer to share it with you. I mentioned a while back that the inspiration for this room was Kate Spade meets Holly Golightly. In a perfect world I would have wallpapered this room {in something graphic or bold stripes} and added a chandelier but this room needs to serve a lot of practical purposes so those splurges didn't really fit. 

I wish you knew my client because I feel like this room is her personified right down to every detail.  This room was formerly her oldest daughters bedroom but she wanted to convert it to a lounge/ den area. The catch was it still needed to accommodate guests or her daughter if she chose to come home for the night, which is why we opted to include a trundle day bed. 

I'll be sure to post more pictures when we are 100% finished but I was so excited about this project I couldn't wait for another month until we get things done. 

Remember the snakeskin coffee table I was telling you about? Isn't it sexy?

primarily speaking

This color palette from Inchmark Journal totally resonated with me because it reminded me of my sons room. I collect vintage toys and so the whole primary color concept just really worked for me. I loved how basic and classic this color scheme is for a child's room. My son Winston is almost one and I'm still not done with his room yet. Hooray for more inspiration.
