TRADITIONAL KITCHEN WITH MODERN TAKES

A start of fun, kitchen project. We'll be updating a small, dark, 1920's kitchen to what I'm hoping will look like this design board. Client review meeting is tomorrow. Fingers crossed they love it.

The before:

COLOR BALANCE

One likes whites and greys, the other likes brights and bold. Think this is a nice happy medium. Windows, shades and pillows. 

TODAY'S MOOD

Today is a chunky sweater, cozy blanket, squishy pillow, layered rugs and winter pastel kind of day. Bundle up. 

FALL MOODBOARD

Cool, crisp, rustic....FALL! Feeling the change of seasons today!

MELLOW YELLOW

I'm noticing that I like pop yellow in my projects. A touch of sunshine just makes everything happier. ;P  Don't be afraid to add a little color into your home, it can really change the mood of the room.

SUMMER BEACH DAYS AHEAD!

The school year is coming to an end, which means easy, breezy beach days ahead. Yay! One of these days, I will buy myself a Gray Malin piece that will transport me to the beach from my home all year long. In the meantime, I will go to the beach the old fashion way via Garden State Parkway and surround myself with coastal cool indigo accessories.

BLACK & WHITE MOROCCAN COOL

Who says black and white is boring and cold?! I say it's exciting and bold. :) It's probably my favorite color palette to work with - I love when a room has contrast and this is the epitome of contrast. I'm working on a master bedroom that a bit small, but mixing in patterns and textures along with accent pieces is going to this room awesome! The clients will love it so much that size of the room will be the last thing on their minds...I hope. Here's their mood board, we are going for cool, eclectic, modern moroccan. 

GO GREEN

I LOVE the color green! Emerald green, kelly green, jade green, olive green, lime green, you name it I love every green I've met. I don't think I realized how much I loved it till recently, but it makes sense. As much as I love color, I tend to go for neutral tones - whites, taupes, grays and wood accents. So, it's only natural that green fits in that mix. Green is not only the color of Spring and growth, but also balance and harmony...and I know I definitely use some more balance in my home. 

FEELING PINKISH

I usually don't go for pink, but the color has me smiling lately. It just has a sweet, playful, warm and fuzzy feeling about it. I could use a little extra pink in my life....this kitten bubblegum print is pretty darn cute and these anthro glasses would be perfect addition to our everyday juice glasses.
