See How Fashion Relates to Interiors

Hi Everyone,

Cynthia Rowley just recently advertised one of her beautiful new dress designs for Spring. In My opinion, Its feminine yet simple and elegant and really the subtle touches in the details makes the design. Ruffles around the neck and bodice, plus the interesting graphic design printed on the bottom portion of the dress. Now lets take a look at similar images as these dresses and translate them to the pretty rooms with interesting details.

Similar pastel colors in the painting and pillows. Nailhead details on the furniture and pinch pleat sewing technique on the pillows. The graphic design is mimicked on the rug.

Fashion design very much correlates to interiors. I wish I was a few years younger! I might just have to purchase that dress:)

Warmly,

Crushing Blue

Hi All,

This week I have spent many hours in my eldest daugther's room planning, prepping and decorating. Her wish was a more grownup space, a little more removed from usual color pink we have done in all her rooms. Somewhat reluctantly I obliged, I do love a pretty pink room, but I understanded her need for a color scheme change. So she chose blue and I couldn't be happier. It reminds her of the ocean and so many wonderful memories at the beach with her cousins.
I began with the paint, although I have read that painting should come last in the decorating process. She has a desk and bedding already and in the interest of staying within a budget we decided to keep these intact. Choosing a color paint for the walls would have to work with what she currently owns.
At the moment I am finishing up with the panels and plan to paint one accent wall a deep shade of blue, called Respite. Danielle is excited, she can't wait to see that bold shot of color in her room.
All this blue talk has me dreaming of beautiful shades of blue in all the rooms in our home. There is a plethora of blue decorated rooms on the web to take as inspiration. Take a look at the below images. My hope is that you are inspired and take some ideas into your spaces.

Pantones Color Choice

Readers,

Pantones color choice for this year happens to be one of my favorites. This versatile color can be paired with almost every color on the spectrum. It is the color of nature, it can be bold or subtle in the outdoors as well as in interiors. Take a look at some of these lovely pictures.
