I've never been into the whole "matchy-matchy" thing when it comes to interior design. And I've always loved these two colors combined... gray and gold (or grey and gold, depending on where you live). I love the warmth the golds bring into a space to offset the coolness of the grey tones. There are sprinkles of this all throughout my house, but I wanted to show you some other fancies around... Some in bigger ways, other in the littlest … [Read more...]
Coveting Coral
Coral is something I've always loved having a touch of here and there in my house. Something about it feels fresh… Donno if it's that nautical oceanic thing (I'm an ocean girl!) or what (I'm not a huge fan of nautical things, but this I love), but I've loved coral for several years now. It also adds that element of nature without adding greenery into the space. And the curves and branchiness I think balance the either curves or straight lines … [Read more...]

White Linens
I've often said it's the little things that can make a difference in a space. Or even just one element can make or change the feel of things. I have always been a lover of white linens. When I got married, I registered white towels and bed sheets. That was a LONG time ago, and I still feel the same now as I did then. It is that single simple element of the color of your linens that can totally transform the feel of your bathroom. Think … [Read more...]

Table Scape: How to style a coffee table

Does anyone know what I'm talkin about? Today I'm thinking of a different table scape. I'm thinking coffee tables and how to "dress … [Read more...]
Introducing Stardust Chairs
I had been on a hunt for a long time to find chairs for my new kitchen dining table. My previous table was a Bernhardt set I got when I got married 16 years ago. And yes, it cost us a small fortune back then, but it was time for them to GO. I found my new table solo, so I held out on the chairs till I found just the right thing. I knew exactly what I wanted and waited till I found just that. I'm SO glad I did because I found it when I least … [Read more...]
