Trending Thursday ...

This year returns back to stripes, angles and geometry ... I like the dramatic combination of a classic black and white look.

 

Adding accessories and finishes like these to a space gives a very fun, casual, elegant and timeless look.

Dreaming of Seafoam ...

This winter has been really trying and I cannot wait to be on the beach and watch the waves break at my feet ... until then I am going to find things that remind me of it.

Emerald Season ...

 

The color of the year is Emerald Green, this jewel color which is typical of Fall/Winter will carry into Spring/Summer, we will see a lot of this color on walls, accent pillows, floors and draperies.

Here are a few ideas of how you can bring this trend into your home without darkening the space. I personally feel this green works best with neutral colors or white.
