Color Crush: Blush

January 27, 2017

Blush is a color that is making a big statement in the design and fashion world and I am not complaining one bit. You may have seen this color around quite a bit lately and it's only becoming more popular - on furniture, decorative items, art, textiles, and the list goes on. Here is a grouping of items I have sourced for you and some inspiration found on Pinterest that incorporates this beautiful, soft, lush hue including a paint palette that I am obsessing over. Which blush inspiration is your favorite??

2017 Pantone Color of the Year: Greenery

January 26, 2017


This year the Pantone color, Greenery, is celebrated in designs and decor of various styles around the world. If you're not familiar with the color of the year here is a little info. Each year The Pantone Color Institute announces a symbolic color selection; a color snapshot of what is seen taking place in our global culture that serves as an expression of a mood and attitude (Pantone.com). 



The Pantone Color Institute has put together a collection of palettes that incorporates Greenery in a sophisticated way that relates to what all of us around the world see in nature (can see all palettes here). I have since seen Greenery in many different designs that range from modern to eclectic to  traditional. I usually gravitate towards more of an emerald green, but I put together a mood board using Greenery as an accent below that displays a more mid-century aesthetic using one of my favorite chosen palettes by Pantone; Deep Rooted. Are you a fan of this years Pantone Color of the Year??

Did You Know?: RH Teen and Baby & Child

January 21, 2017

Hello and welcome to my first Did You Know post! I want to dedicate one post each week to teaching - this could be anything from new furniture collections to interior design history to trending decor. For my first post, I want to share a handful of items from RH Teen and RH Baby & Child that could be used in adult spaces that you may not know about. When people hear teen or baby collections, they usually do not think to take a look for their own space. I am always intrigued on all the sophisticated pieces that these collections have that definitely are not just for teens or babies. I have used and recommended many items from these collections to clients, not only because of their different yet mature aesthetic but because of their appealing price points. Both lines have recently introduced new collections with a more modern feel that fits clients personal design taste but you will still see collections that are traditional, industrial, and rustic, too. I've put together 10 different pieces from each line that I am crushing on that could just be the piece you're looking for in your space! If not, then definitely check out the RH Teen and RH Baby & Child website and take a peek because I'm sure you will find something you love even if you don't need it ;)
