Tobi Fairley Giveaway!!


I'm back from our mini-vacation from NYC! What a crazy time, there were sooo many people out there this weekend. But the holiday spirit was in high gear and I loved every minute! We're now back in the swing of things here though. (Trying our best anyway, it's always hard this close to Christmas, isn't it?)

I'm super excited to be starting off the week with a giveaway courtesy of one of my favorite designers: Tobi Fairley! Tobi recently launched her own collection featuring fabulous, colorful throw pillows, really great fabric, and even her own lighting! I'm thrilled that Tobi is generously giving one lucky reader a fabulous set of 2 - 24" pillows featuring her vivid Marrakech fabric in Rumba Pool. Don't you love the yummy turquoise and orange combo and the bold geometric print?? The pair would add the perfect amount of spice to any room!

2012 Pantone Color of the Year: Tangerine Tango

Ashlee Raubach

Is it orange? Is it red? I don't know, but I LOVE it! Yesterday it was announced that Pantone's 2012 Color of the Year would be Tangerine Tango. This is actually one of my favorite colors (aside from turquoise, the 2010 Color of the Year, we all know that's number one!) I normally don't use it in my home, but a lot of my favorite clothes, accessories, and often times my nails feature this punchy shade. And how can you not love it paired with turquoise?? It gives off such great energy! That's actually why Pantone chose it...they said it provides the energy boost we need to recharge and move forward. Sounds about right to me! What do you guys think? Do you approve?

Have a happy weekend everyone!! :)

Melanie Elston






"No beige allowed!" declared the owners of this Chicago apartment to interior designer Melanie Elston. More specifically, they wanted their home to be vibrant, cheerful and full of color. (My kind of people!) Despite the different colors and patterns used throughout, the home really flows from room to room. I seriously cannot tell you how much I love the chairs upholstered in the always-fab "New Wave" in Capri from Old World Weavers layered with the Kelly Wearstler rug. Read all about the dramatic space and finish the tour with lots more photographs by Werner Straube over at Traditional Home!

EJ Interiors







I immediately fell madly in love with this space when I saw it on Material Girls! Emily Johnston of EJ Interiors designed this fabulous vignette for Dwell with Dignity’s new Thrift Studio store that recently opened in Dallas. I cannot get over the color scheme here...the bold orange and turquoise color scheme is so fun, but the space feels totally chic. Love the striped fabric on the chairs! And of course the perfect wall color: Benjamin Moore 710 Kensington Green. Love! To see lots more photos taken by Fort Worth Real Estate Photography, just head on over here!

Tuckered Out



So of course the one weekend we had sooo much to do, I get sick and end up having to be in bed the whole time. You should see all the projects Chris completed though...he really made a dent in the ol' list! Major thanks to my BFF Claire (she sure can rock a paintbrush) and my dad who was over a bunch last week helping us out (he has the right tool for everything)!

Seriously though, you guys know the children's book If You Give a Mouse a Cookie?? That's all I can think of as we complete each project, getting our house ready to sell. You make one improvement, then you see another you should do, which makes something else look glaringly outdated...it never ends! I'm just exhausted thinking about it! So, I think I'll just go back to bed. (Ours not nearly glamorous as this one designed by Betsy Burnham and featured in Lonny.)

Colorful Bedroom Makeover








SO much fun color!! It would be hard not to wake up happy in this bedroom featured in BHG. I love that they brought in that storage chest to use as a cozy window bench...you can never have too many cute, colorful pillows! The window coverings here are great too. I love how they layered the bamboo blinds with the orange panels. Head over to BHG for more photos, including before shots too!

We have a lot on our plate this weekend. We are getting ready to put our house on the market (eek!) so there's lots of projects and major de-cluttering going down around our house! Once things are looking good around here, I'll share some photos with you guys! Have a fantastic weekend! :)

Chris Barrett Design












It's Mad Men...with a twist! I love how designer Chris Barrett used the same vibrant complementary colors throughout this entire Manhattan Beach home for a cohesive look that's fun and inviting. So much great retro furniture here...those turquoise lounge chairs are so cool! I'm really loving the artwork, especially the poolside photograph by Slim Aarons in the dining room. Oh, the dining room. That's my favorite...the juicy colors, awesome chairs, fab chandelier! See more of this home photographed by Karyn Millet right over here!
