It's A Pantone Universe

Having been a graphic designer and using Pantone for the past 10 years or so now (Note: I was a hipster before it was cool to be a hipster, haha!), I love this:

Check out Pantone Universe, a design-led collection for the home, the workplace and the road… Accessories and apparel you need in designs you want – and in colors you love, by Pantone, the author of the universal color language.

Fashion Designer's Homes

I love how fashion and interior design directly correlate with each other. When people are creative, it tends to show through their fashion and their home interiors. Both fashion and home is an expression of our individuality.

Here is a slideshow from Elle Decor of fashion designers homes we hope inspire you like the inspire us.

Enjoy your weekend!

Friday Finds ~ HGTV Dream Home 2011

HGTV announced their brand New Dream Home 2011 contest. Enter here to win their latest dream home in Stowe, Vermont (shown above via HGTV).

I love everything that goes into the building of these homes. From selecting the property site, to the construction, then my fav the interior design ~ I've kept my eye on this Dream Home giveaway for years now and it's always fun checking them out.

Here are the HGTV Dream Homes from the last 15 years! Which one is your favorite?

My 2 personal favorites are the HGTV Dream Home 2010 (Sandia Park, NM) and the HGTV Dream Home 2008 (Islamorada, FL). I just love the design of the house on the exterior and the interior of those 2 in particular, but they did a beautiful job on all of them!

Friday Finds ~ Gretel Home

Good morning everyone! I had the pleasure of working with Abby Kellett, an amazing British interior stylist here in Miami for a photoshoot on Wednesday.

She studied interior design and interior styling in London and has worked for Elle Decor. She is absolutely amazing at her job and I had so much fun working with her! Let me tell you she had some beautiful props to use for the photoshoot ~ everything from vases to fresh flowers, art books to artichokes! :)

Abby is also the owner of Gretel, my new favorite online store! Check it out here at gretelhome.com. She really has an eye for modern taste and style. Gretel is in her own words, "carefully curated and uncluttered, so that your home can be too."

We love meeting and working with other design professionals ~ it's really inspiring.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Friday Finds (10.29.10): Keep Your Furniture Cozy...

{via moggit girls}

The ladies over at moggit absolutely crack me up. They find ridiculious design/decor and make fun of it in a snarky way. They really are "the guilty pleasure of the decorating world."

Have a Happy Halloween Weekend everyone!!!

Ohhh, ladies and gentleman, this Fruit Infusion Pitcher from the Kitchen Outlet would be so refreshing on a hot summer day ~ it looks like you can stick just about anything (except onions, I would not recommend onion water ~ haha!) in the middle for a refreshing outdoor drink!

Don't forget to enter our giveaway here of the perfect summertime accessory ~ a gorgeous ice bucket/wine cooler!

I have officially fallen in love...with this teacup planter from Garden Artisans. It would be perfect for the center of your outdoor table, or in the center of your dining table. It's great because it's a pretty centerpiece that people will love to ask about.

Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Friday Finds (5.14.10): Anchors Away

Love this circular nautical rug! In a study with rich chestnut wood furniture or in a bedroom with white furniture...this rug would just look fab-U-lous. From Rosenberry Rooms, the Classic Compass Rug comes in square, rectangle and circle cuts. Love IT, want it, and it may even help me know what direction I'm facing. So multi-functional.
