Chic Chartreuse

combo DR/ Library  love the Chippendale chairs in chartreuse
/whitehaveninteriors.blogspot.com
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!

Pastel Christmas

This year I've been seeing a lot of lovely Christmas decor staring soft, shiny pastels.  They have a girly, retro vibe that I just love.  I don't think the boys in my house would go for it but I can admire it anyway and perhaps talk someone else into giving this beautiful look a try.

Today, I'm off to help set up for a birthday party for an adorable three year old girl.  This weekend we are taking the kids to see A Christmas Carol play at the local theatre company.  It should be a wonderful weekend.

Pink Peonies: Living Room Reveal

On this beautiful Monday I want to share a gorgeous home tour with you.  Blogger Rach Parcell of Pink Peonies just revealed her newly designed living room.  Gate House no. 1 designed this beautiful room and I just don't know if I can pick a favorite element except that I am coveting the rug but I also love the club chairs and coffee table.

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.

I don't know about you but I think I need a bouquet of dusky blooms right now.

Get your bloom on too!  Happy Thursday!

Summer and Sunflower Season

Sunflowers are the quintessential end-of-summer accent.  The warmth and casual elegance of these blooms bring to mind Vincent Van Gogh and the hot, carefree days of childhood.  They grow wild along the roadside here in the desert but they are inexpensive, so I buy in bulk at the local farmer's market or grocery store.  I promise they will bring a smile to your face.

I love the color palette of a sunflower. gorgeous picture.

Today my kids start back to school!  They are in the 4th and 1st grades.  I think I will buy more sunflowers to console myself ...and celebrate.

Designer Nam Dang-Michell House Tour

Today I thought we could visit Calgary based designer Nam Dang-Michell's house.  I first came upon her work after I found the above image of her kitchen on Pinterest.  I felt that it had that perfect contemporary and traditional balance.  I found that the rest of her gorgeous home has the same mix and it is obvious that every design choice was very deliberate.













You can visit houseandhome.com to see more of this lovely home and to view other rooms designed by Dang-Michell.  
We are spending the day at the lake today.  It will be lots of fun except that my husband will be with his mother as she undergoes a biopsy of a suspicious spot on her lung.  We are very sad about this because she has been cancer free for a few years now.  Here's hoping that it is not cancer again.
Have a beautiful day friends!
