I feel I need to make this PSA. I don’t want readers to feel I’m heartless because I never address what’s going on in the news whether it’s mother nature or tragedies. I find myself obsessed with the news or reading it during those times that I feel…heavy. my heart my attitude…it’s depressing. So when I want to escape those images and do something happier, the last thing I want to be is reminded. I want my blog to be happy place and not focus on negative things. So with that said…I am diggin the whole mixed metals look. I made a few collages from places like Z Gallerie, Pier 1 etc where you can create the look affordably. But I also came across this interior below.

Rustic Woodsy Christmas Decor…

Bringing the outdoors in doesn’t have to be all natural. You can add a little glitz to it. Cork, twigs, branches, woodchips, acorns and bark all play up wood themes. Glittery accents and candlelit tablescapes creates an intimate cozy space. And you can go to neighborhood stores to get the look.

Grays is a neutral hue that looks fabulous when paired w/any color…

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…

I admit, I’m more of a gunmetal kinda girl but I do love the look of bronze and golds especially paired with black & charcoal hues. It’s so much about the above and below spaces that I adore. Primarily the my love of black being utilized in such a glam way. By painting the tre ceiling gold, it doesn’t weigh the room down. I also have a thing for argyle shaped wall patterns and you know my love of tufted & faux fur anything…

More New Years Decor Ideas…

The brilliance that is Colin Cowie has gave me all sort of visualgams with this. From the plexiglass chairs, to the reflective table and this elegant centerpiece…everything about it has that WOW factor. The killing part of it all is, it was designed for his STAFF. Yes, Colin throws his workers a fabulous end of year party for them to show his appreciation. Sounds like my kinda company. :-) See below for more images created by him. Indulge…

The lit table…….love it.

The sharp centerpieces remind me of icicles & glaciers, perfect for a winterwonderland tablescape.

Bold metallics consisting of bronze, gold & copper…

Pier 1 will get you a replica of this look…

Floating candles to set the mood…

Can’t have a New Years celebration without bubbly!!

Restaurant Indulgences: Park Ave NYC…

Ever see a restaurant that changes it’s interior based on the season? Well, welcome to Park Avenue NY. Captain James Cook’s travels are used as a loose design reference. They looked at the regions he had visited as a way of framing each season. For example, winter as seen above, pays homage to Cook’s adventures in the Antartic Circle. I remember as a kid I used to want to go to Antartica just to say I went. But living in Milwaukee where our winters are artic enough, I decided I’m good. LOL.

The floral blooms and grass in the plants screams SPRING which happens to be my favorite season.

Warm yellow hues brighten up the space like the sunny days of summer…

The bronze hue is picking up on the rustic woods of autumn with fallen dead leaves and bare branches…This is my favorite of the looks.
