Happy Easter!

This is the time of year as a child, I would dream of being Judy Garland on 5th Avenue, pretending I have a beautiful Easter bonnet with all the frills upon it! Anyone else also enjoy watching Easter Parade? Like Judy Garland and Fred Astaire, Easter is quite charming when it comes to style and fashion. Here’s a sweet peek at Easter and spring inspirations making their way into home interiors!

Details : Inspired by Mad Men

Just over a week away, it’s time to go back a few decades with Mad Men. I love watching the show, but especially love looking at the sets of their offices and homes. It’s been a while since I’ve watched the past seasons, but a few things always stick out in my mind, like Don and Betty’s blue tufted headboard in their old bedroom! Enjoy!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day Weekend! This year, I am spending St. Patrick’s Day among the crowds at the Flower & Garden Show at Navy Pier in Chicago. Laura will be celebrating in downtown Indianapolis. What a busy weekend it’ll be…

So, we’re starting the celebration now with the Pantone 2013 Color of the Year : Emerald (Or similar shades!). With an appropriate splash of gold!

Trend : Coral

Coral is a charming color, inspired by tranquil seas. I think by now, we’re all looking forward to warmer weather. Seems like today is a good day to warm up and see how the coral trend crosses over from bedrooms to living rooms to patios! As you can see, it is versatile : pairing nicely with other warm neutrals, white, teal and navy. A simple foot stool, pillow or an entire chair in coral can warm things up!

Closets: Mess or Magnificence?

I trust you all had a great weekend!  I know I did.  But at the end of the day on Sunday it seems I am always cleaning up from fun times with family and friends.  Which got me thinking… can you use design principles in a storage space?  Sure!  Color, layout, and texture are just a few examples.  Let’s take a look at some closets ranging from everyone’s dream to the closets found in a typical home.

Favorites : Sputnik

With the snow covering the Midwest today, I’m inside dreaming away about one of my favorite pieces : the sputnik chandelier. It’s anything but boring. A burst of energy. I love adding interesting pieces like this. Especially when they’re functional, too!
