Happy New Year! With a new year comes a new Pantone color and for 2014 it’s Radiant Orchid. This rich hue is full of fuchsias, purples, and pinks undertones. Radiant Orchid sparks imagination and creativity. Since fashion is normally around one year ahead of interiors when it comes to trends, we can expect to see elegance come back in to popularity. I look forward to using this color in design projects for 2014! Enjoy!

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.
Happy Thursday! I hope you all had a lovely week thus far. While reflecting back on my week I got to thinking about mirrors. How great they can look in a space, the light they can add to a room, and that special finishing touch a mirror can add! So let’s take a look at a few!
I almost feel silly talking about poufs, simply because it sounds ridiculous. Poufs. But anyway, these round bundles of joy are a useful, affordable trend. You really can’t place it in the wrong spot; it can go in nearly any room. So hop on board this easy trend!

Sit down and take a seat. Once you’re in the womb chair, you could easily stay for a while. Eero Saarinen debuted this gem in 1946 and thankfully it isn’t going away anytime soon.
