Good morning and happy Monday, friends! Did everyone have a great weekend? Ours was pretty awesome, honestly. The best in a long while. Following the tournament on Friday, Saturday was a busy day of errands, housework and family time. And Father’s Day was pretty fantastic around these parts! I made B’s favorite breakfast and then …
Color palettes
A modern color palette of chartreuse and sapphire, perfect for summer!
Something about starting off every Monday morning with a fresh dose of pretty color just makes me happy. But this color palette? This one in particular makes me really happy. Like big-ol-grin-on-the-face happy. Inspired by the color of Rainier cherries, basil, kumquats and sunflowers, it’s seriously kind of dreamy. Especially now that the weather is finally …
Good Monday morning, friends! I hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine was a total, awesome whirlwind. And now it’s Monday and I’m honestly feeling kind of groggy following a few days in a row of being surrounded by all my favorite people. So, as I always think fitting, I’m all about starting the week …
Happy Monday, friends! I hope you all had a great weekend and a beautiful Easter if you celebrate. I’m easing into the week myself this morning. See, today is my 30th birthday! So I am celebrating with cake and lavender lemonade. Or, at least I am in the form of this pretty mint and lavender …
Hi, friends. Top of the morning to ya! I’m getting a late start to the week over here, but I’m happy to report that the move is officially in full swing and I am so excited to get it all wrapped up. In the meantime, I think we should have a conversation about yellow. It dawned on …
There’s a good chance that you’ve noticed it, but shades of teal, turquoise and aquamarine are absolutely my favorite colors in the world. Sometimes I feel like every week I could bring you some new version of blue-green paired with green-blue and to me that would be completely fun. (Although perhaps a touch boring for …
I love starting every week with a pretty color palette to kick things off. Because sometimes Monday mornings just call for a little extra cream in an especially tall cup of coffee and a fresh dose of something pretty. I’ve found myself really loving neutrals lately. Winter whites and shades of vanilla in particular. So …

I’m still working on getting back in the swing of things and have been enjoying a little extra down time this week, sipping on coffee and tackling a few organization projects.

A very berry Christmas. Get it? Sometimes I like to throw out a pun or two, you’ll have to bear with me here. At any rate, I’m clearly all about the berry tones lately, but I’m not hating it one bit. There is something so festive and, well, merry about this color palette. It reminds …
So here’s the thing. Working on color palette posts is one of my favorite things. Truly. It’s just plain old fun for me. But every once in a while, I just fall head over heels in love for a color palette and this is one of those. The bold pairing of rich sparkling cranberry and …
Hello and happy Monday, friends! I hope everyone had a nice and relaxing weekend. This morning it’s super crisp and chilly here in Syracuse so I am finding myself drinking even more coffee than usual to try and warm up. Maybe that’s why today’s color palette is almost starting to feel like the holidays. But …
