Anthropologie

I wanted to share these beautiful kitchen items I found at Anthropologie. The vintage look is very appealing. I think the sets of bowls are my favorite...each one a little different and unique!

Love this decorative bottle opener!

Hello Yellow

I typically gravitate towards neutrals, a calm palate...but how can you not love these images of bright, happy yellow!?! I love the combination of a bright color with crisp white and even black/grey. The contrast in colors makes for a surprising room, which gives great energy. I think I might bring some bright yellow into my patio decor. What bright colors do you love?

I love this wallpaper. I think it might find a home in my powder room.

What a striking use of color. The black and white scheme gives the artwork a strong background to stand out from.

I love to find great vintage furniture pieces at markets or estate sales. Many times a quick coat of paint can update its look. Love how this cabinet was transformed into a vanity. It's actually quite easy to do. Designer tip: check your local granite & marble store for scraps. Sometimes they might have a small piece that's perfect for your powder room sink surround you can purchase at a discount...and we all love to save a penny!

If you're not ready to "go bold", use accents to play with color. I love this throw pillow with it's almost native pattern. Wouldn't that look great on my new patio?

Intaglios

These little white discs are causing quite a stir in the design world. It seems that everyone wants them, and why wouldn't you? They look amazing in any space, especially when grouped together to create a large impact.

But what are they exactly? Well, I'll tell you!

The word "intaglio" (in-tagl-io) refers to a seal, gem, or ornament with a sunken or incised design, as opposed to a design in relief. These are often compared to cameos, however cameos are different in that their design is often painted.

Jan Michelle Interiors uses plaster cameos imported from the UK, made from original moulds. Below are images from JMI!

Before & After

To follow up on my previous "Under Construction" post, last week I was again in Florida finishing this project. The before and after results are astonishing. Here's a sneak peak. For images of the full project, please visit my website.
