BOLD + BLUE

On the heels of this morning's color palette post, I found these stunning blue built-ins that resonated with me for similar reasons...


Sharp, saturated, bold color coming right at you! Could you live with this? I think it works in a large, dramatic space, and I like the way they've incorporated the blue in the floors and upholstery, but I don't know if I could handle it myself. Still... it makes a stunning impact. If you had built ins (or maybe you do!) what color would you paint them? I'm thinking I'd keep them white on the inside, but outline them in a deep kelly green...

POP OF COLOR (YEAH, I SAID IT)

Before I even launch into this post, can we all promise to not roll our eyes at the term 'pop of color' anymore? I don't understand why people seem to be so sick of this little phrase. As overused as it may be, it happens to perfectly describe the situation: a sea of neutrals or safer tones punctuated by hit of something bold. Which happens to be just what I'm hunting for for my apartment right now...

I've noticed that throughout my inspiration files there is rarely a use of all-over color, but rather, this pop. A little accent. A little unexpected. A little dose of something fun and fresh. So, I'm on the hunt for some pieces to fit the bill, and thankfully I've found a few options that are fairly affordable!

Loving the Parsons Bookcase in this aqua, just like in the inspiration pic (it also comes in a few other fabulous shades), and the endless variety of color options for the slim table selections at Room & Board (i'm thinking pink or green for the entry). But, my favorite might be the blue in this Crate & Barrel coffee table. You have to see it in person as it's absolute perfection! Holding my breath and crossing my fingers that this puppy might be coming home with me!

RASPBERRY DREAMS

Could we all just pause for a moment in this hectic day to worship at this altar of raspberry trimmed with gold?

When I was in Las Vegas for market, I attended a panel that Tobi Fairely was speaking on. She mentioned that the best way to infuse color into a home is to do a monochromatic palette because it reads more as a neutral when you layer the same color (maybe different hues) on top of each other. I think this rule applies to this Miles Redd interior perfectly. Is it completely over the top? Sure. But the fact that it's all one shade makes it a little easier to digest.

But, let's be honest. All I really want are those walls.

HAPPY ENDINGS

I've been hunting for some chic office accessories to jazz up my work space, and have totally fallen for these stylish and cheerful little bookends from Spinsani at Barney's right now...

If I had a little extra play money at all they would so be mine! Which pair would you pick? I'm actually partial to the poodles... but the horse heads are so classic, too...

MONKEY'N AROUND

Have I ever mentioned I have a serious love for monkeys? Well, I do. Especially Prada monkeys. And this little wooden guy. They help me take life a little less seriously!
