I'm so blue!

This Dhurrie sofa from Wisteria makes me wanna jump up and down for joy! Do you see that adorable little ball fringe on the front?! So graphic and amazing. And after picking up one of these garden stools at TJ's the other day and planning to paint it high gloss gold...seeing this silver is making me rethink it! Silver or gold? Silver or gold? What do you think?

Horchow stud chairs...love. Love. Love. Love....

Dear Horchow,

 This pale blue leather tufted sofa would look amazing in my living room. Do you have lay-away? Oh, you're not that kind of store? Really? Ok, what about just that lamp. Or that rug. And those white ceramic tables. The pillows? Darn it all to hell!

Ok. So, I'm cheating. This daybed from Restoration Hardware isn't blue, but it's fab...and that background makes me want to move back to Phoenix. Ok. Not til winter, but I do miss the valley. But, I wouldn't miss it nearly so much if I had this in my back yard and time to catch up on my magazines with a big glass sangria...white sangria...no red wine on this baby!

I've had my eye on this chair for a year now and keep hoping I'll stumble across one that's similar at a second hand store that I can refinish. Has anyone seen anything similar on ebay or craigslist? I'd love to have one!

Color Splash!

It sure is dreary out today here in the good ol' QCA! So I went on the hunt for a few inspiration pics that are full of color and sure to brighten up any weather forecast.

Be brave and trust your instincts! That's what this sofa is shouting at me and I'm all ears! What's my deal lately with turquoise, by the way? I may need an intervention rather soon to help me with this obsession.

I wish I knew where I found this pic. I'm sure it's staged for a photo shoot or is in retail shop, so you have to look at it with different eyes as it's not meant for actual living. But the vibe is infectious and the color palette sublime. I can't believe how much I'm digging that canary yellow...the key is to keep the palette tight and wow...that silhouette is just spot on.

Pretty in pink! And pale yellow and creamy whites! That pink ribbon trim around the ottoman really pulls it all together. Really fun and fresh.

Though this space falls just a bit flat for some reason...I'm still really liking a few of the choices. As always, I'm a big fan of the conversation area done "in the round" and this ottoman is the perfect scale for just such a purpose. I also love the simple banded drapes and the bold orange.

My Red and Turquoise Obsession

This color combination is so rich and spicy I just want to bite it! I wish I knew who the designer on this was because I would love to give some props, but before I even thought of blogging, I fell in love with this pic and saved it to my inspiration file. Dear Lord! I love that velvet chair against the burnt red grass cloth wallpaper...and be still my heart...that trim on the drapes is enough to make me wanna do the cabbage patch! Simply Brilliant!!!

Vintage chair transformed with turquoise paint and Duralee fabric. My client loves them! Now, I just need to get pics of them in place rather than in our back storage room...pic bad, chair great!
