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!! :)

Mirador Builders








Happy Friday!! I don't often have the opportunity to share homes like this authentic Spanish Colonial Revival designed and built by Jennifer Hamelet of Mirador Builders out of Houston. She has been designing, building and marketing for over 20 years, and her home is something dreams are made of. Of course I was immediately drawn to the kitchen with its painted cabinets (Green Granite by Pittsburgh Paint) and pops of red. But I know you're going to want to scroll back up and take another look at the concrete tile rug in the office. Jennifer sat down with a box of 20 colors and pulled five that most closely resembled her 115 year old Heriz and Oushak rugs then designed the tiles from templates and had them made in Nicaragua. So cool! SO many other neat details in the home...custom tile everywhere, antique chandeliers and sconces, 300 year-old antique colonial doors, turquoise windows frames...I could go on and on but you can see more for yourself over at Mirador Builders! Oh if you happen to be looking for a home in Houston, this one just happens to be for sale! Go here for more info!

Remodelaholic & DIY Showoff






A little bit country and a little bit beach beach, with some red and turquoise thrown in for good measure. That's the fabulous room designed by the two talented bloggers Cassity of Remodelaholic and Roeshel of DIY Showoff. They recently worked as a team to design this entire room around the flooring (both wood and rug) for an HGTV HOME Flooring by Shaw event. And what a fun event it must have been! Their vision began with the beautiful Ikat Panel rug by Shaw. They pulled out pops of blue and red from the rug and kept everything else as neutral as they could. They added texture through the furnishings, incorporated typography in several places and finally found objects like the rusted wrought iron fence and carved wooden horse to round out the space and make it feel like it grew over time. It really looks that way too...you'd never know it was all put together in just 8 hours! I adore the beautiful wall color they chose (Copen Blue by Sherwin Williams) and the red painted chandelier (Antique Red by Sherwin Williams). Both Cassity and Roeshel had great write-ups about their experience, with loads of photos and fun stories, so check out their blogs for lots more!

Cassie of Hi Sugarplum!










Youthful and Sophisticated...talk about a combo that is tough to pull off! Not if you're the DIY genius Cassie of Hi Sugarplum, who recently revealed one heck of a makeover on her blog. I absolutely adore this room, everything about it, and I'm sure her young daughter is overjoyed with her new "big girl" space. She has her own art center and little hidden nook in the closet. What child wouldn't love that?! The wall color (Waterscape by Sherwin Williams) is the perfect background for all the fun color and prints going on. The Parisian themed bedding (Nicole Miller's Fifi Collection) is pretty much the cutest thing ever! What I love most about this room though is that Cassie did a fantastic job chronicling all the DIY projects the room entailed. The fabulous drapes and monogrammed pelmet, the painted bed and highboy, the no-sew pillows, even faux crown molding, and lots of the accessories are all results of Cassie's hard work. You can see tons of photos and read all about each project on Hi Sugarplum!....so much inspiration I could burst!!

I really want to thank you guys sooooo much for the super-sweet comments you left about our wedding photos...it almost felt like our wedding day all over again!! All weekend long they kept rolling in and each one made me so happy!! You guys are the best! :)
