Interior Inspiration: Shades of Blue + Green

bluesandgreens

Bedroom. I adore this bedroom’s bold mix of pattern and colored accents. The rustic modern floor and nightstands balance the playfulness of the bedding, headboard and lights.

Living Room.  This sophisticated living room by Frank Roop is delightful!

Bath.  Like having your own spa experience daily, I love the tile and the teak accessories.

Wallpaper Living Room.  I love the geometric pattern repeated in the wallpaper and the trim work below.  Such a beautiful focal point for this sitting area.

A Perfect Sunday

I’m looking forward to the weekend a little too much this week. My recipe for the perfect Sunday:

1 comfy and cute pattern bathrobe + Endless cups of green tea + yoga + yummy smelling long bath + shoe shopping (with endless budget) + watching my husband grill + wine.

Ahhh. Pure bliss.

Grey and yellow is one of my all-time-fave color combos! I can’t think of 2 colors that bring out the best in each other more than these do…I love them in rooms and as accents. A few I’m loving now…

Over the Moon for Paul Rand

paulrand1

I’ve got a graphic design crush on the work of the great Paul Rand. Rand was an American graphic design icon. He is best known in the design world for his corporate logos that he created throughout the 50s and 60s.

But, what I love best about Rand’s work are the simple graphic images he used to convey so much. Through his use of color, typeface and shapes provide such eye candy! I’d love to own any of his posters, or even book covers to display as inspirational art throughout the house. I also love his unabashed use of pink…

Found Friday: Milk Glass

milkglass

Today’s find is dedicated to this classic white collectible. This opaque glass was created in the 16th century and can be found in many styles from detailed antique, to more clean and modern. I love it as a stand-alone piece, or clustered as a statement. Start your collection today, local antique shops as well as ebay and Etsy are great resources.

Pair of Vases. $14 from Etsy seller Vintage Interiors. A beautiful set of vases for simple arrangements.

Vase Trio. $12 from Etsy seller Retro Sugar. This trio would be the perfect centerpiece clustered with a single bloom each.

6 Antique Knobs. $16.90 on ebay. These would be fantastic clustered on a wall to display necklaces on!

4 Desert Dishes. $32.50 from Etsy seller Milk Glass Vintage. Imagine enjoying fresh made strawberry sorbet (from my favorite food blogger!) in these lovelies. Yum!

Interior Inspiration: Living Rooms

InteriorInspirationLR

Living rooms. The focal point of any house, it sets the mood and tells your guests so much about you in just a quick glimpse. I love these 4 and the story they tell you…

Moody Living Room. The dark and polished walls and floors provide a dramatic backdrop for the blue and green bursts of color. I imagine many after theatre drinks being shared in this setting…

Khaki Sofa. This room uses the perfect finishing accents – the ikat pillows, printed chair and striped curtains, to give this otherwise serene room a happy vibe. Can’t you just picture yourself curled up on the couch with a travel book?

Outside in Living Room. I love the blurred lines between inside and out in this modern living space. The soft leather chairs and ottoman provide the perfect perch to admire that view.

Striped Floor. This striped floor is the focal point of the room and all other pieces are subdued to really let the floor stand out. Hello lazy Sunday! A cup of tea and the New York Times would be the way I’d spend my time in this room.
