{A Neon Sign – Literally}

Seems like the neon train has arrived! Everywhere you look, there is a touch of neon to get your hands on – be it a sassy pair of brightly colored pants, or an eye-catching accent piece for the home, neon is in full swing.

Chances are, you are probably more comfortable splurging on a hot colored fashion statement than you are buying a super bright sofa. Shouldn’t stop you from ogling, though! Enjoy the brightness:

Gaga for Eclectic Finds

Flipping through the premier issue of Modern Luxury, an interiors magazine for good ol’ Texas, I came across the super chic and lively home of interior designer Sally Wheat.

What I love about Wheat’s home is that every space has a touch of some amazing eclectic find – from the pair of vintage chairs clothed in David Hicks’ hot pink geometric linen {above}, to a gold pig accessory sitting on a very serious English chest {below}. These finds say something about the people living there – and to me, they say: fun, fresh and fabulous!

How do you feel about living with eclectic finds in your spaces?

Happy First Day of Spring! Green seems to be the most appropriate color to ring in the new season, right?

This color has such an energy about it because of the associations we have with all things green – especially since green signals that something is full of life and health. Perhaps incorporating this wonderful color in your space will give you more of a sense of vitality and good vibes {who can’t use more of both?}. The greenery awaits:

{Happy Valentine's Day, World!}

I like to think of Valentine’s Day as an occasion to be grateful and show appreciation for all the love and beauty that surrounds us everyday: from the beautiful home you’ve made for yourself, to the caring and wonderful people in your life {not just significant others, but each person who brightens your days}.

To spread the V-Day joy, here are different sights both pretty + pink {one of the colors synonymous with V-Day} for you to enjoy. Wishing you a LOVELY day!

Sharing a bit of the elegant and beautiful world of rich blue interiors. A deep blue color palette can mean casual + cool at a beachside home, or sophisticated + luxurious in a swanky living room. Whatever your preference, you surely can’t go wrong!

Have a festive + bonanza filled weekend!
