Hey, everyone, and happy Monday! Following yet another whirlwind of a weekend, all I want to do today is snuggle up and watch movies. Doesn’t that sound kind of amazing? My best friend got married on Saturday and getting to see all of my college friends together in one place at one time was so …
Color Palettes
When playing around with today’s color palette, I was first and foremost inspired by this gorgeous shade of topaz. It feels like the ultimate fall color in my book. Paired with shades of khaki and amber with a touch of stripes or zebra print and you’ve got a look that I’m kind of wild about …
Well, guys. It’s official! It’s fall. And boy did it ever feel like it here this weekend. It was rainy and chilly, the kind of early fall chill that kind of takes you by surprise. We took a drive up into the foothills of the Adirondacks yesterday and we were blown away by how swiftly …
Today is one of those Monday mornings where I could have slept away half the morning. I think because it’s cool and dark today and definitely feeling more like fall by the hour it seems. Today’s color palette? It’s directly inspired by the colors I’m seeing outside and all around right now. Overcast skies and …
Good morning, friends! I know it’s been a couple of weeks since our last color palette, which is definitely not the usual around here. I’m blaming two back-to-back jam-packed long weekends for that one. But no worries, we’re back on the color palette wagon and today I’m drawing inspiration from the perfect shade of classic …
Happy Monday, friends! How was everyone’s weekend? Mine was pretty quiet. B was out of town working so on Friday night I spent the evening fireside with friends and then generally spent the rest of the weekend working. I can’t complain! Every once in a while a low key working weekend is just what I …
Happy Monday, gang! How was your weekend? Ours was pretty amazing (more on that later today with this week’s edition of The Weekly Dozen), a really fabulous summer weekend. We spent it in the Adirondacks and now all I want to do is plot a more extended getaway into the woods. No internet, lots of …
Good morning and happy Monday, friends! I hope everyone had a great weekend. Ours was fabulous and blew by in an instant, as seems to be the usual anymore these days. Not that I’m complaining! I love summer and working on soaking up every little bit. In fact, this morning’s color palette was entirely inspired …
‘Tis the season for carnivals and county fairs, which is entirely the inspiration for this week’s color palette. Bright, saturated carnival red is seriously the color of the season! It makes me think of wandering the fair, ice cream cone in hand, in hunt of a bag of fried dough. Yup. That’s ice cream and …
I definitely think watermelon is one of my favorite colors going. Something about it is just so fresh and happy! Not to mention, completely and hopelessly summery in the best possible way. Paired with neutrals like parchment and a bit of metallic copper, it can also be really darn festive. I particularly love this color …
Well, friends, I did it! Over the holiday weekend I took four entire days away from the computer, unplugged from the internet and loved every little bit. We spent time with friends, took the boys to the beach where they wore themselves completely ragged playing with friends, sat around more than a few campfires, traveled …
Good morning and happy July, friends! It’s probably not going to surprise you a bit, but I kind of couldn’t refuse going patriotic with this week’s color palette. Inspired by the color of faded denim and cherry red, I love how the richer shades of cobalt and dusk blue make the whole thing pop. It’s …
