Chic Chartreuse

combo DR/ Library  love the Chippendale chairs in chartreuse

I got the memo that marsala is the new Pantone color of the year but I was really hoping for a color like chartreuse.  While I don't tend to like walls painted in dominating hues like this, I do love it as an accent.  Nothing could be happier or chicer as we head into spring and summer no matter what your design style may be. 
Bronze-lacquered walls set off chartreuse taffeta curtains in the dining room.
the HUNTED INTERIOR what seem's to be the random chartreuse door, it totally makes this area pop!
beautiful color, but I would NEVER be able to deal with teal walls gotta have beautiful white walls...color of whipped cream with all the color as accents in the room.
black white + chartreuse
Chartreuse, off white, antique brown for basement bathroom
Baby-blue Chesterfield sofa? Sign us up.
Love the chairs, chandelier, painted inside of shelving, and pops of color with pillows and artwork.  Fixture similar to Robert Abbey Rico chandelier or Ralph Lauren Roark chandelier.
Gray wall color, chartreuse drapes and hot pink chairs...my 3 favorite colors!
As you can see, you don't need to overdose on a color as strong as this one to get major impact.  I want to add a few shots of chartreuse to my bedroom to freshen it up and I'm loving the bath towels as well.  
It's Thursday and I am in my first week back in my teaching credential program and my kids have both started basketball practice.  It seems we don't have a minute to call our own for the moment but who has?  A pretty home is always welcoming when life is hectic, so keep it pretty everyone!

Let's Start the New Year Right

It's here again...another new year.  whether you celebrate with a big bash or a quiet gathering there is just something so special and nostalgic about a fresh start that comes with the ushering in of the New Year.
Can't wait for bonfire night, sparklers, bonfires and fireworks. Such a magical night :)

In the words of Irving Berlin, "let the old year die with a fond goodbye and our hopes as high as a kite how can our love go wrong if we start the new year right."
Happy 2015!

Inspiration: Fall Flowers

I always think fresh flowers are a good investment in one's well being and happiness.  This time of year I glory in the dusky, subdued shades of fall.  Flowers make a home feel loved.  These gorgeous fall flowers would create an atmosphere of romance and luxury even in the simplest of spaces.

Gorgeous Grey

Kitchen Villa Kalos Ithica Greece | © Robbert Koene | Est Magazine

Like the rest of the world, I've been in love with deep charcoal grey tones.  For that matter I love any shade of grey.  I am all about contrast, though.  I think it takes an unimportant space and makes it look far more special and dramatic.

Chic living - back to black



master bedroom

I could move right into any of these rooms or outdoor spaces!  I love how intensely modern and cozy they all feel. 
The wedding I was preparing for has come and gone and it was a success!  Like all events there were things that didn't get accomplished and things that didn't happen just like I might have hoped, but...it turned out gorgeous and when the bride cried when she saw her bouquet I was making her, well, let's just say that's all the reward I needed.

Desert Summer

SABON
When Lori and I started this blog more than 3 years ago we decided to embrace the fact that we live in the desert.  Back then it wasn't trendy or chic.  Where we live we are close to areas that are very dry desert spots (like the Mojave desert) as well as more tropical resort locations like Palm Springs.  There is something very beautiful about where we live and it's nice to see it more appreciated in current styles.

The above image is of Lori and I when we started our blog. We had to check for snakes before we set up and it was very windy that day, but what a sunset!  
Today it is hot hot hot!  As in 104 degrees, hot.
Stay cool out there!

Birthday Girl and Blush Pink

Today my baby girl is 6!  I can't believe it.  I am super busy today getting ready for her party on Saturday.  I am enjoying having a little girl.  She isn't really the girly girl type, but she also isn't opposed to pretty.  
I am really inspired by soft blush shades right now.  I think it is the perfect spring into summer color and it makes me happy to be a girl.

While my little girl rarely wears pink, I think I will incorporate more of it into my wardrobe.

Here is the birthday girl who spied a Ralph Lauren lady bag just her size!  She is one extraordinary little person who loves wolves and science right now.  I'm so proud of her.
