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 …
Wedding color ideas
I have to be honest, guys, and admit that I’m really tired this week. Mentally, I’m all kinds of inspired and fired up following Alt Summit last week, but physically I am running pretty close to empty. Long days of work and excitement combined with too little sleep are definitely catching up with me. With …
Hi, friends, and happiest Monday morning to you! I hope you had a really lovely weekend. Mine was, as predicted, crazy boring by most people’s standards I’m sure, but we had the warmest weather the last few days and it has been so so nice. Which very likely explains why I was feeling particularly like …
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 …
Good morning and happy 2013, friends! I hope everyone had a beautiful holiday celebration. 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. I’m so excited to see what 2013 has in store …
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 …
Somehow it’s December and my iTunes is officially playing Christmas music in high rotation. I’m thinking about things like baking cookies, buying presents and planning holiday festivities with family and friends. Today’s color palette is taking a page from the book of classic Christmas. Bright holly red, rich evergreen and touches of soft and woodsy …
Good morning and a happy Monday to you! I have to admit to being totally obsessed with this morning’s color palette. Gray and peachy apricot is a pretty timeless combination, but I love how it takes on the loveliest fall vibe when combined with richer shades reminiscent of seasonal foliage. So beautiful, don’t you think? Dreaming up …
Hi, friends, and happy Halloween week! I hope everyone had a great weekend. Here in Syracuse we’re getting ready to bunker down for a few days in anticipation of the winds we’re expecting from Hurricane Sandy. So today we’ll be running out to stock up on a few essentials just in case we experience the …
Hi, everyone, and happy Monday to you! I hope you had a beautiful weekend. While working on this morning’s color palette it dawned on me how much I love the combination of blue and orange. And no, it’s not just because I love Syracuse basketball. (Really. I swear.) At a glance I admit that blue …
Good morning, friends! I hate to be that guy on a Monday morning, but seriously, does anyone know where the weekend went? Mine was quiet and laid back, and over with far too quickly. As promised, I made up a big pot of my mom’s corn chowder and baked my favorite cookies. (Stay tuned for …
