This is a lot of color enveloping the rooms…..
The furniture isn’t my style but the bones of the room is. I love black windowsills, gallery walls & reflection on the marble flooring. Usually I like area rugs to anchor spaces but this works…

So yesterday was quite dreary and the other night we had thunderstorms (which I live for). But while commuting to work I noticed how lovely the tops of trees look against the gray sky. Made me think how many colors gray can be paired with. As much as black is my fav color, I feel gray is neutral enough but dark enough to make saturated hues pop. Just look…the above design I love. The black and white is ever so classic, but the pop of georgia peach is even better. The gray looks good with both tones…

I’ll take this chandelier for $200 Alex….

Love burnt orange for fall and this modern decor is it. Velvety sofa? Perfect for autumn. By no means am I suggesting to switch your main pieces of furniture with the seasons because that’s expensive & just ridiculous. This image just screams fall to me….
Cranberry & gray is a much better pairing than black and reds because gray is less jarring…
Beautiful contrast between the gray & turquoise. You know me, I love my TURQ hues…
A nice little tufted gray and camel KITCHEN NOOK….
This dandelion chandelier & the BLUSH hued pinks that we seen in Jennifer Lopez’s home is so girlie. But I still love THIS vintage gray & pink room the best…

I love this look. It’s a little unexpected for me. When I think of grays I usually pair it with silvers and gun-metal. At least in wardrobe so to see it with gold and bronze accents is a nice surprise. I love BAR CARTS. Even if you don’t entertain, it looks so stylish to have your “spirits” on deck in such a fancy way.
A bright taxi cab yellow & gray color scheme…reminds me of THIS inspiration from nature. That backsplash is very bold. I wouldn’t suggest that if you’re planning on selling your home soon (unless you don’t mind changing it) as you will certainly limit the buyer pool. You want to stay as neutral as possible. (For more designing for resale tips, see THIS). However if you plan to stay awhile, I would completely personalize the space too…
A while back I came across this retro themed carnival party for a child’s birthday and thought the details were incredibly cool. I’m all for thinking outside of the box and not buying entire themes of decor from party supply stores. Carnival parties can go in many directions. One being geared around circus animals with a petting zoo and clowns. This coney island vintage themed one is so cute to me. I especially like that the scheme isn’t strictly primary colors. A POPCORN BUFFET is perfect for kids and will surely be a hit. Continue reading for details…
Retro coke bottles for a ring toss game? Clever. Tickets in the shape of a cake? Super cool and very cheap. Those can be purchased from party supply stores…

Nothing like some pretty doors…
love the contrast between the dark doors & the light dining room they open to…

These double doors are so industrial, you would think they would be in a downtown converted loft with exposed beams….

Graphic painted or patterned tile floors like these HERRINGBONE ones are great alternatives to rugs. I like the way this glamorous bathroom’s neutral palette is brought out through the floor’s design. The killer are the beige NAILHEAD trimmed doors…

I’ve come across this pic many times & I try to stay away from photos that have circulated on a lot of blogs but it’s fitting. To open the doors to a custom closet with painted shelving…..a dream. I love how the boxes stand out against the charcoal walls. See more looks like this HERE…
If you had double doors, where would they lead? A master closet? Ginormous bathroom? Outdoor terrace from a bedroom suite?

This is the time of year where dandelions are popping up all over the place on people’s yards. Though yellow isn’t my favorite color, you can’t help but feel cheery when wearing the color of having the space decorated with it…

Love the open shelving in this kitchen. With so much brightness, it’s always better to pair the saturated color with something more neutral and muted like beiges and grays…

There’s a direct correlation between the hues of TROPICAL OCEANS and warmth. Whenever I see those deep teals and turquoise I immediately think of spring and summer. Not to mention its been my fav summer color for eons now. The outdoor living space above is beautiful. The wooden beams help to give some sort of shade but still allow for an abundance of sunlight…

A lot of design pics I come across has an absense of greenery. It’s always nice to see a big leafy potted plant in a space every now and then…

Love the HERRINGBONE fireplace….

Yes I know it’s not really a saturated turquoise but I wanted an excuse to use the pic. Isn’t it tranquil? The glass tile backsplash is the same as what I installed in the kitchen reno I’m doing (just different colors)…

The nerve of mother nature giving us some snow after we had 85 degree weather a week ago. Well, it hasn’t fallen yet but up to 3″ is in the forecast. If you could see my face right now. So I figured I’ll post some summery white hues….not winter white….summer white. Maybe if I speak Spring & Summer into existence our weather will change for the better…

I like unexpected accent colors when designing black and white spaces and this icy blue hue is a pretty compliment. Ever since I did the post on BAMBOO FURNITURE, I always see them in other interiors. Kind of like when you buy a new car and you don’t really see much of it until after you’ve bought it. Then all of a sudden everybody has the same car!! SideNote: You can click on links to anything in this post or others that’s in all caps & underlined. It’s basically other posts I’ve done about said underlined topic…

Black & White bathrooms can be kind of cold and although I would not want this for myself personally, I can appreciate the classic approach with the floor & SUBWAY TILE…

I love this little seating area. The CHEVRON print rug on top of BLACK FLOORS, black lamp shaded chandelier, the white piping on the sofa, massive window & the Ikat & MOORISH patterned pillows is giving me everything. You know already how I feel about TRAYS and this snake skin one is a very stylish one…
