More Blue, This Time With Orange
My beloved orange Pop chair has been making its way around the new house. I can’t decide where it should go but what I am sure of is that I want to pair with some blue.
Lately, it seems like I want to pair everything with blue. Maybe blue is my new black . . .

It’s Black & White
I have been playing around with so many color palettes lately that I’ve think I’ve hit a saturation point. (Ha ha ha. No pun intended.) When I get like that, I like to take a break with a good dose of black and white.
And a little hit of gray is always okay, of course.

Another Moodboard + Wishlist + Your Help Needed
I have a lot to talk about today! First, in addition to the “moodboard-on-the-floor” for my office that I posted a few weeks ago, here’s another one I’m working with right now. This one is for the main level of the house. It’s not as fleshed out as the one for the office [...]
Orange Crush: Hermès
Welcome to this month’s installment of Orange Crush, a collaboration between Down and Out Chic and FTRB where we celebrate our favorite color, orange!
I honestly don’t know how I’ve done all these Orange Crush posts without doing one on Hermès! I think just the sight of those orange boxes makes most of us happy.
But [...]
Blue & Yellow
My love affair with blue and yellow continues from yesterday.
I’ve posted about blue and yellow before here and here and here are some more rooms that get this combination right.
I like the super saturated colors in all these rooms . . .
but also the more toned down version like here:
I love everything about this entry [...]
Orange Crush: Orange & Turquoise
Welcome to another installment of Orange Crush, a collaboration with Down and Out Chic that celebrates our favorite color. As I’m sure most of you know, this is the year of turquoise and when it’s paired with orange, I think it’s a great summer color combination.
Isn’t it just so fresh and fun? Thanks for joining [...]
The Blues
I mentioned yesterday how crazy I am for blue right now. For some reason, I’ve never used it in any of my homes.
I’m not sure why because it’s a color I’ve always liked. I mean, who doesn’t like blue?
I guess there were just other colors I liked more.
But lately, blue is at the top of [...]
Red and White Stripes
I’m mad for stripes (like these textiles from the lovely Red Ticking) and would probably have no problem if my entire house were striped. When it comes to red and white stripes, I think a little restraint is in order so it doesn’t get too candy striper-ish. And when done right, it can totally make [...]
Pink & Blue
My current favorite color combination comes as a huge surprise to me: pink & blue. I can’t get enough of it!
And I’m liking almost any variation of pink or blue.
But hot fuscha and a deep inky blue is probably the one I love most. I nearly died when I saw this room from the latest [...]
Orange Crush: Orange Jieldé Lamps
Welcome to this month’s edition of Orange Crush brought to you by From the Right Bank and Down and Out Chic. Today, I thought I’d combine my love of orange with my love of Jieldé Lamps. I love these classic lights for their amazing quality and industrial good looks.
They come in an array of great [...]
Solid Gold + Thank You
I’ve been a silver and chrome kinda gal for years now but lately I’m really feeling gold and I don’t know why. Maybe it’s lovely images like these?
I can’t believe today is March already. (I thought I had a few more days!) I’d like to thank the lovely Pam from Red Ticking and Persis from [...]
Black And White Bedrooms
I know I’m starting to sound like a broken record with all the black and white but I just have to show you some of the bedrooms I’ve been collecting for a while:
I hope you have some fun planned for your weekend. Hubs and I are hitting the hardware store (again), moving some furniture around, [...]
Back to Black and White
Thank you all so much for the sweet comments on Friday. It was a tough weekend and your thoughts and comments really meant a lot to me so thank you. Everything is going to be okay so let’s get back to decorating!
As soon as we bought our new house, I made up my mind that [...]
Orange Crush: Orange and Gray
Orange Crush is back! If you’re new to my blog, Orange Crush is a monthly collaboration with my pal Christina at Down and Out Chic where we share with you our love of the color orange. We took a little break while I was busy with my move (thanks for your patience, Christina!) but we’re [...]
Every Room Needs a Touch of Red
Who was it that said every room needs a touch of red?
I’ve always liked red and have lots of red pieces but I can never seem to incorporate it into rooms in a way that I like.
Looking at these photos, I’m starting to think the key is gray walls. That seems to be my answer for [...]
Black, Yellow and a Wallpaper Update
It’s been a while since I’ve done a yellow and black post.
For me it’s a combination that just doesn’t get old.
I’m liking the wallpaper here quite a bit:
Speaking of wallpaper, for those of you following my quest for wallpaper for the powder room, I got a sample of the Thatch pattern from Cavern and unfortunately [...]
Just When You Thought I Couldn’t Have Any More To Say About Gray Paint
While I’ve been going on and on about the Benjamin Moore “Trout Gray” I chose for the kitchen cabinets, I forgot to mention the lighter gray I chose for the dining room and the master bedroom. It’s called “Bunny Gray” (also Benjamin Moore) which made me hesitate at first because I thought it was a [...]
More Gray Paint and a House Update
I’m going to meet with my painter tomorrow to talk about paint colors. I’m going to do it – I’m going to paint the kitchen cabinets gray! I’ve been staring at paint swatches all weekend and still haven’t come to a decision. If anyone has a gray paint they like, please share.
One of my readers [...]
Gray Kitchens
Until we actually close on our house, I’m trying to walk a fine line between planning our move and not getting too carried away in case it falls through. And that, my dear readers, is no easy task! It’s even harder not to talk about the house because that’s all I want to do! [...]
Orange Crush: Orange & Purple
Welcome to Orange Crush, a monthly collaborative series presented by Down and Out Chic and From the Right Bank to the Left Coast. With this installment, I’d like to begin exploring color combinations with orange, starting with one of my favorites, orange and purple.
This room is the perfect example of how rich and luxurious this [...]
Orange Crush: Beds
Welcome to the third installment of Orange Crush, a monthly collaboration between Down and Out Chic and From the Right Bank to the Left Coast.
Today for your viewing pleasure, I have orange beds. Orange is not what I’d call a go-to color for a bed but here are some good examples of why it certainly [...]
It’s Black And White
It seems like I fall in love with a new favorite color combination every week and having no loyalty whatsoever, I’ll quickly abandon it when a new and prettier one catches my eye. But the one I will always stay true to is black and white.
Black and white have always been my favorite colors to [...]
A Yellow And Gray Post Inspired By Rachel Zoe
So most of you know that I’ve been completely enamored with yellow all year. And one of my favorite pairings with yellow is gray.
Isn’t this a lovely room? Well, what does this have to do with Rachel Zoe, you ask?
I’ll tell you. I was watching her show yesterday (recorded from Monday) and she went to [...]
Orange Crush: Walls
Welcome to the second installment of Orange Crush, a collaboration between From the Right Bank to the Left Coast and Down and Out Chic where we show you the fabulousness that is orange. (If you missed the first installment, you can find it here.)
This week, I’d like to show you some orange walls. Now, as [...]
Feeling A Little Blue
Not to worry, I mean I’m feeling blue, literally. In addition to the blue and white stripes that I mentioned earlier in the week, I find myself liking just a splash of blue here and there.
Especially when it’s paired with yellow or red. It’s a primary thing, I guess.
Do have a favorite shade of blue?
I [...]
Black And Yellow Loveliness
I thought I had gotten black and yellow out of my system but apparently not.
How do you feel about this combination?
Sorry I didn’t get a chance to take photos of the bedroom art wall for today as I had hoped. I swear I’m working on it though(!)

What Do Your Color Choices Say About You?
Thanks to Danika, I found this color test and thought the results were uncannily accurate. It said:
“Craves change and new things, always looking for new adventures and activities. Becomes restless and frustrated when she has to wait to long for things to develop. Her impatience leads to irritability and a desire to move on to [...]
Introducing Orange Crush!
One of the first bloggers I “met” when I began blogging was Christina, whom I’m sure you all know from her fabulous blog Down and Out Chic. We started blogging around the same time and it was clear from the start that we had a lot of things in common.
One thing we share is a [...]
Gray And White Rooms
On the heels of Friday’s post, I’m really loving gray with white right now.
It seems to work well in any setting.
I used to associate gray with fall and winter as in gray flannel and wool.
But I’m realizing that it doesn’t have to be heavy.
And when it’s paired with white, the effect is actually quite light.
I [...]
Gray May Be My New White
I’m a white wall devotee but I can’t get all the gray walls I’m seeing lately out of my mind.
Is it just me or is everyone really into gray right now? See what everyone else is into today at Julia’s weekly blog party.
Today’s also the end of my week as a visiting blogger week ofifteen. Head over today [...]
