Cliffhanger…

…Friday afternoon is a good time for a cliffhanger.  A feel out of time and space, a dialogue between body and landscape.  Anything is possible, yes?

Simple is Beautiful and Less is More…

…Polish designer, Agata Bieleń, has created a tranquil beauty with her stunning Arch Line Collection for Spring Summer 2015.  The intentional gentleness, liquidity, and relief for the senses is both beautiful and bold with reassured confidence. Each form is handcrafted of stainless steel, silver or gold with the utmost attention towards detail; following the idea that simple is beautiful and less is more.  Photography by Marta Zgierska, Michał Matejko, and Mchy Porosty.

Warm, Rich, and Grounded…

…marsala…Pantone’s  Color of the Year 2015…has been in my home for…hmmmm…probably longer than you need know.  This rich and quiet red works well with neutrals.  If there is a nod to The East in your home, or an appreciation for nature, marsala will also be easily incorporated.

I believe trends begin with fashion…

metallics and animal prints are a good example of interiors following fashion…

and now marsala will work its way into our homes…
