Color crush: indigo and bold blues

So, I don't usually jump on trends, but I have been seeing a lot of indigo and deep blues donning the walls of a lot of mags these days. I have to admit, I'm smitten!

I'm seriously considering painting our bedroom a color like this.  It is large with a high ceiling, and we have a very similar bed.  I think the contrast is really nice.

What do you guys think?  Do you like rooms painted in bold blues?

Glamorous, gorgeous, and unexpected spaces

Those blues and that pink?  Genius

I would never pick that wallpaper, and I do not like zebra rugs, but all of these elements together are so pretty.

Brick wall and an unashamedly girly bed? Love it.

Celebrating the 4th in style!

This is a guest post I did for my good friends over at Bae - a fab home decor boutique in SF. Visit their blog at Bae Home & Design


You don’t need to clear out your local Hobby Lobby of everything with a star or a stripe this month to give your home or 4th of July celebration a patriotic sparkle, you can show your pride this Independence Day in a less is more approach with style, sophistication, and a little bit of fun.

The opening of The Pledge of Allegiance in a bold modern graphic print is a great way to show some spirit.

You can also decorate with your own accessories. Group together any red, white, and blue items you already have around your home to get that patriotic feel.
