happy colors

I was doing research for a client project this morning when I hopped over to Horchow to discover this:

Well said don't you think?

I'm loving this color palette.

Seeing these chairs all together reminds me of this gorgeous room by Ruthie Sommers.

What do you think? Do you like the multi-colored chairs or is it too crazy for you?

She said it best

Ruthie Sommers is one of my favorite interior designers. 

It seems like everything she touches turns to gold. 

When I read this quote on her new website, it made me love her even more:

a random sampling

I'm crazy with Christmas but I didn't want to leave the blog totally neglected. Here is a random sampling from my interiors file (of over 3,000 images, yikes!) of red and green rooms. I'm terrible about sourcing images so if you know who some of these belong to, let me know.

A little Ruthie

Everyone is buzzing about the launch of Ruthie Sommer's new website. 

I've been through it about 7 times already. I love it all but 

my favorite is the image pictured above.

A few months back I cam across this post from Apartment Therapy 

featuring before and after upholstery projects courtesy of Ruthie Sommer's. 

They were all vintage pieces to begin with and she totally gave them new life. 

I am so in love with the sofa below.

Today I found the twin to the strange but interesting kitty seen in Ruthie Sommer's nursery for her daughter Eloise. I'm thinking maybe I should buy it and send it to her. I'm sure their little kitty would love some company.
