color story: charcoal + gold

Charcoal & Gold.

Dramatic. Regal. Showstopping.

The colors matched together give this bedroom a look that is classic yet undeniably luxurious.

One day I pray I will have the patience to do something like this to my nails!!

These 2 high contrasting colors give this living space a powerful punch.

I’m crushing on these 3 wallcoverings.

Creating a palette of charcoal and gold doesn’t have to be over the top or crazy expensive:

happy trails

I love all kinds of restorations. The creativity that comes with taking something old and having it come alive again in a whole new way totally inspires me. It really gives perspective on how one man’s trash really is another’s treasure!

That being said, there’s a special place in my heart for vintage airstreams. I’m always amazed by how such a small space can be utilized so efficiently! What could possibly be more perfect then a cute little trailer you can travel, work, or play in??

When I lived in Florida, I worked in the best beach town ever, Seaside. We had the greatest little airstream food court right in the town center.

I used to walk over on my break to grab a sandwich, smoothie, or snowcone. I had no idea just how spoiled I was!!

This renovated beauty is from the girls over at Oh So Lovely blog. They have a mobile vintage clothing shop in this trailer – how freakin cool is that!?

Before and after shots! I’m obsessed with the coral color choice.

Featured in the June/July Issue of Rue Mag, designer Alicia Falango takes you inside her event planning office.

Seriously?! Can I please work here????

I may add acquiring an airstream to my ever growing Bucket List. If you had one, what would you use it for?

color story: peach + emerald

Bold emerald green matched with soft peach is both flirty and fierce! I’m loving these 2 colors together.

(It’s past my bedtime, and I’m sleepy. So instead of attempting to come up with witty captions, I’ll show you pretty pictures and your imagination can take it from there 🙂 )

Do you think these 2 colors work well together? Would you use them in an outfit or your home?

summer pops of color

I’m loving designer Thom Filicia‘s latest fabric collection from Kravet! So many fun and inspiring colors – like turquoise, lime, red-orange – that embrace the exciting yet carefree mood of summer.
