You know what shape I’m loving right now? (I’ll give you one guess, and it may or may not be in the title of this post.)

The lovely scallop shape is derived from my favorite childhood shell with the same name. Its curved edges takes me back to when I was a 7-year-old seeing the ocean for the first time, and the hunt for the perfect one. The form is soothing and organic, but creates incredible interest when turned into a pattern. It can be retro. It can be modern. Originating from nature, the scallop shape is timeless.

Can I have these tables? Pretty PRETTY please??!

What says “helllooo summer” more than sunny tangerine and refreshing teal?? Tangerine was named Pantone’s 2012 Color of the year, and teal is one of the hottest colors right now. Pair them together and you get a match made in hue heaven. Orange and Blue are actually opposites on the color wheel – meaning they naturally compliment each other. (Whoever said opposites attract was dead on!) What do you think??
