Don't want to commit to the color? How about introducing it in art? I love the muted color palette in the above room that is offset by a large bold painting!

Just a punch of color, that's all you need!

Want to make a statement? Why not paint your front door! A bold color makes a big impact with minimal investment, and is very inviting. Wouldn't you like to visit this house?


Tango Tangerine: It's the "it" color for 2012. It's bold, cheerful, and reminds me of sunset. I must admit, I've been a fan for years. You can find the color accented through my home on a chair, in artwork, or even the inside of my flip-front desk. Pantone describes the color as, "a spirited reddish-orange that continues to provide the energy boost we need to recharge and move forward." I couldn't agree more. Are you a fan of the color of the year?

{I apologize for the funky alignment, blogger is giving me fits!}

Do you Pinterest?

I'll admit it, it's addicting. A place full of ideas of every way, shape, & form, I've enjoyed curating a collection of boards. If you haven't followed me yet, be sure you do by clicking the link above!

Here are a few things on my radar this First Friday of 2012!

Color: It's back and bolder than ever. I am THRILLED to be onto brighter and cheerier times, I think everyone is. A palate of color inspiration can come from many places. I love this simple yet elegant tablescape with a crisp, clean linen backdrop and bold pops of color.

Check Mate: I'm starting to see lots of gingham, buffalo, & campy checks everywhere from laundry sacks to luxurious Belgian linen. As a recent iPhone convert, I've been on the hunt for the perfect case. The husband says the case I picked up from Target looks like a tween girls. But that is neither here nor there...

The perfect one might just be this big buffalo check. Now the question is .... what color?

I haven't shared too much recently but if you know me IRL, you know I love to be in the kitchen. Trying new recipes is my jam. For NYE we fixed this potato "slinky" and it was fabulous. I highly recommend it!

Organization. My inner OCD loves this photo. Everything in it's place, out of sight. 

Was your resolution to become more organized?

Hey there chevron! I am all about loving the little things & small spaces. Wouldn't this be a great way to create a bold focal wall in your entryway? Better yet, this would be a great weekend warrior DIY project!
