I had such fun just going to see fellow interior design blogger Patricia Shackelford (aka the fabulous Mrs. Blandings) talk the other day at a luncheon in Kansas City.
She was as nice as could be and such a doll in her crisp white shirt and beautiful Spring floral skirt…inspiration for a lovely room! She has such a great design sense (obvious by her amazing selection of slides she shared) and truly appreciates fine design. If you have ever read her blog (for heaven’s sake if you haven’t, you should!) you can see she is a keen observer of the smallest of details to overall color, balance and proportion in a space. I look forward to more wonderful blogs from her!

Amazing PINK!
It is vibrant. It relaxes you when you first see it, then after a long time in it, it can rev you up! That is why sports teams paint it in their opponents locker rooms! It was once the color for baby boys before baby blue came along. It is flattering to all skin types and the child of red…another fabulous color!
Find out even more and read the article with our interview in The Kansas City Star.

The little girl in me (and the big girl too, for that matter) just loves sparkle and shine. Below are some fantastic lighting pieces, pendants and chandeliers that make my eyes get big and bring a smile to my face. I loved stuffed animals as a child too, of course, but nothing made me stare, gaze longer and jump up and down than glass and crystal that caught my eye. Santa, can you bring one to everyone please?

I have to say, after my visit to the High Point Furnishings and Accessory Market last week, my suspicions have been confirmed…imperfections are perfect.
Soft comfort on display
The draw of home fashion will continue to move toward reusing items in new ways. Natural fabrics (that are made using more sustainable methods) are dancing into the mix, manipulated into a tailored/organized look with a bold sense of nothingness in the color department. Rusty parts of exhausted items are next to newly spun silk. The once only traditional look of cut crystal is encompassed and surrounded by iron. The lines have been changed and redrawn.
Reuse....
It is exciting as always to see what product designers dream up. Out of necessity pops wonderfulness and I am loving it! Don’t get me wrong though, I could never move away from color and the richness of classic traditional design or the striking forms of contemporary design that leave me wanting more, but this is a fun and comfortable look. It brings peace to the mind and hope to the heart. Whether or not you like this new direction, the reason it is here though (reduce, reuse, recycle), is here to stay.

There is nothing like spectacular design…it make you feel good. For example, how do these designs make you feel? They are from the historic Greystone Estate in Beverly Hills and was Veranda’s third show house. Such gentle fall colors here. I thought the time seemed right to share these with you.

We have all been there…a special event to go to and nothing to wear. What’s a girl or guy to do? Get help!
I want to share these dynamic fabrics with you in a small series from that began last week and will wrap up this week.
If you have been dreaming of the right fabric for an accent pillow, bedspread or window treatment, one of these may spark your inner fashion diva. While they are not for everyone, nor every home, it is still fun to watch them walk down the runway with this quick fashion shoot…

Anyone who knows me, knows I love art. I don’t know what it is, but it stirs me all up. I have painted many pieces myself and loved it so. Because of that when I study a piece, I enjoy thinking about the artist and how they felt in the middle of creating their art. Joy, frustration, doubt, happiness, grief, enjoyment?
These are pieces from a recent trip I took to the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City. The info on the piece, follows the piece. Let your mind go, check out their other pieces on the links and happy, joyful Friday to you!
