Trend Watch :: Modern Nautical

By admin | Published: May 20, 2013

Anne-Hepfer-Simplified-Bee-2You don’t have to live by the water to enjoy this look. Crisp and refreshing, a modern take on nautical rolled in on the waves.

This boys room is a favorite of mine. Designed by Anne Hepher, this room featured in House & Home 2009 is a prime example of the look everyone loves.  Clean lines, bold colors, and lots of natural light and white surfaces.

What is your take on this look? Are you ready to throw down your anchor or say bon voyage?

Sail over to the NEW blog to see more of my take on this trend.

Party to Pine for :: Yellow!

By admin | Published: April 16, 2013

As if the yellow wasn’t enough to catch my eye…this party is incredible! I love the simplicity and ease but the coordination and cohesion of all of the elements. If you haven’t heard me say that a theme color is the simplest way to plan and execute a beautiful party, hear me now. And this is evidence!

Jordan at Oh Happy Day is pretty amazing all around. But I think she may have outdone even herself on this one. She was able to pull this fantastical, bright party together in just a matter of hours!

If you want to see how she created the #4 pinata and the scalloped table cloth – get the complete DIY here. 

Amazing!
