Farmer’s Market Basket {Friday’s Fab Find}

Apr

2013

I have the Katy Perry “T-G-I-F” chanting in my mind today. Anyone else glad it’s Friday? I definitely don’t have those kinds of plans for the weekend, but I am itching to get out of the house for a while. I’m also excited about getting to meet my baby niece on Sunday (I’m a great aunt now, but let’s just stick with aunt!).

I was flipping through May’s Style at Home mag earlier this week and came across a cute porcelain berry basket from Crate and Barrel that I definitely need to check out.

You may remember the brightly colored farmer’s market baskets I showed you from Antrhopologie a couple months ago. As fabulous as they are, they come with a price tag of around $20. This comparable one from Crate and Barrel for around the same size is about $8, which I think is a little more manageable. I also love the matching milk bottle, egg crate, storage containers, and colander.

If white is what you’re looking for, this is a great alternative. Plus, once you add your fruit or veges, you’ll get the pop of color you may be looking for.

Colorful and Fun Kitchen Decor

Feb

Happy February! I’ve been on a mission to get my kitchen organized and refreshed this week and thought it would be fun to add some color to help lift us out of this winter slump. Anyone else feeling blah? My friend Aimee posted this colorful kitchen photo from Target’s catalogue and I immediately knew it’s the vibe I’ve been craving. Perhaps a little daring for the neutral-lover in me, but accessories are always a safe bet because they’re relatively inexpensive and easy enough to change up.

If you’re daring and like to live with vibrant color year round then I won’t stop you from painting your kitchen a bright yellow. My client Fiona did and she loves the cheeriness it brings to her space even on the dreariest of days. If you’re like me and that kind of commitment scares you, then perhaps dots of color here are there are your best bet.

After searching for some colorful kitchen accessories earlier this week, I was excited to come across some fun storage canisters, ceramic baskets and tea towels I plan on purchasing. I also found a bunch of other ideas that may be a good way to liven up your kitchen.

Spring Trendspotting {Florals}

Mar

Although we had a very mild winter this year, spring is definitely taking its time to arrive where I live. Last week it snowed almost every night and today we’re supposed to get even more, combined with heavy winds- oh joy! I’m trying to stay optimistic, but it’s all becoming too much!

Over the weekend I was thinking about what I love about spring and why I want it hurry up and get here so much (besides the warm weather). My son and I went to the movie 21 Jump Street and, on the way home, we started talking about my high school days (if you haven’t seen the movie, basically it’s about 2 cops who go undercover as high school students). Our conversation somehow turned to fashion and I remembered how much I loved shopping for spring clothes. One particular outfit I wore to a school dance flashed in my mind. It was a pink, yellow and green floral oversized shirt paired with pink leggings and a large bauble necklace. Do you remember this style? Although I don’t have any photos (thank goodness), from what I recall it was very similar to the spring floral trend we’re seeing this year.

Although I still love fashion, my focus is taking what’s on trend and applying it to interiors. Floral isn’t for everyone, but it can be represented in a variety of doses to inject color and pattern to any space. Here are some ideas for incorporating the floral trend into your home:

Designer Challenge: Which Area Rug? {Part One}

It’s time once again for our Designer Challenge. This time I presented three gorgeous area rug options and asked each designer to select her favorite and tell us what she’d do with it. First up, I’m excited to introduce Amanda of Amanda Carol at Home. I stumbled upon Amanda’s blog last fall when I was asked to participate in Living Savvy’s Spray Painters Anonymous series and I immediately knew we would hit it off. She and I share a love of classic interiors with a bit of an edge and her home is stunning- be sure to check out her home tour.

I was so excited to be asked to participate in Shauna’s Designer Challenge. I have seen her other Designer Challenge posts and thought it would be so fun to do and here I am getting my chance! I was given 3 options for area rugs.

First up was the Dash & Albert Circle Fret Rug.
