Yellow worked with gray is a very classic combination yet at the same instant modern. The fashion houses show it as a huge current trend although it has been used in conjunction forever. It is a scheme I never really think of initially but am always pleased when I end up there. The effect can be both subtle and dynamic. I may go buy a mustard sweater to wear with some gray trousers for the season?

Great weekend wishes to all!...

It is nice to throw in a piece or a few of blue and white porcelain for a traditional anchor. I will use it in projects as decorative objects on shelves and furniture or as a piece to store kitchen utensils or pencils depending on the sizes. There are so many reproduced pieces available now that it is fun and affordable to use as a small collection or just a piece. They make for great party centerpieces.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!...

In my book you can never go wrong with a little spot of leopard - no pun intended. The pattern is often mimicked from one of the most beautiful animals on the face of the earth. A fun, sexy pattern that is both classic and able to be reinvented time and again. I definitely believe that moderation should be practiced with the use of the accoutrement. Go for it - and be sure to use it wisely.

Happy week wishes to all!...

Pumpkins are a sure sign of Fall. Orange happens to top my list of favorite colors, too! I think just a touch of it can carry a room or add that necessary bit of surprise that is so fun! I say add a punch of pumpkin to your rooms or wardrobes in honor of this amazing Fall.



Happy week to all!...
