We're Headed Here...

To Nevis in the French West Indies that is! It looks rough, I know!
 
 
 

First though, we're off to Nashville for my cousin's wedding! 3 days in the cold, historic, country music capital, then off to sunnyville! Both legs of our trip will be a blast and I'm so excited! I've actually never been to either place and am looking forward to new adventures!
Come Sunday it's time to relax on the beach, kick up my feet, and enjoy lots of cold fruity drinks for 7 days with friends!

2 New Faves

This black beauty...
and this teal beauty....

Via and Via

Love both of these rugs and not sure how I've missed them before on Rugs USA! Of course they were running a fabulous sale last week and both were out of stock! Guess that meant I didn't need them!

Pantone


 
Pantones spring colors are stunning and give me hope that the winter blues will soon be gone! I always look forward to the transition from neutrals and darks to fresh, bright tones. All of these colors remind me of being in a vibrant garden or a tropical oasis and who wouldn't want that?!
 
Emerald Green is the color of the year, and I can't wait to incorporate it somewhere in my home. It is very romantic paired with gold pieces and even a more muted shade such as jade or linen.  Here are some spaces that used it perfectly!
 
 
 
 
 
 
How beautiful and dramatic with emerald green paint on the walls and ceiling?!
 
How would you like to throw a dinner party in this dining room by Nate Berkus Interiors?
 
What spring Pantone color strikes you the most? Do you lust after Emerald like I do?

Leopard Love


Anyone feeling frisky this Friday and anticipating the weekend like myself?  Today, I'm leaving you with a little leopard and emerald love. Emerald is the color of the year you know?! How gorgeous is this cover from Ladies Home Journal circa December 1962!

Gray or Nay?

I'm pretty much obsessed with gray. Or is it grey? This is new shocking news to you I'm sure! My kitchen finally got painted gray after I started the project, stopped, took a 3 month break from painting, and then hired my fabulous and efficient painter to finish the job! Alas, it's done and fabulous with it's new paint color!
While we're on the topic of gray, how about we discuss cabinets. I'm a total white cabinet kind of girl, but I've really taken to gray cabinetry lately. I'm thinking my dream home would have white uppers and gray lower cabinets as well as a gray island. Look how lovely this trend is!
 

The white subway tile also makes me drool along with the brass cabinet pulls!
 
 
 
This kitchen is so fresh with the Fieldstone Gray cabinets and tons of natural light.

The pops of magenta against the marble backsplash makes my heart melt!
 
 
Would you go for this look when designing a kitchen? I think it's fresh and timeless!

Target Does It Again


 
 
 
 
How could anyone not love almost every piece of the Spring Cottage Collection at Target?! I mean, for realz! This store is becoming so in line with designer trends that they are going to break me! I'm probably going to need a bigger house for all the new items I keep purchasing or either therapy!
