Interiors: Just a touch of blush

I just love pink in small, muted doses. Don't get me wrong, I like a bold pink wall every now and again, but blush is definitely my preference. So soft and approachable, no? Now if only I could talk B into thinking so. After five years, he is no less averse to pink than he used to be. Obviously, I'm doing something wrong.

If you love interiors, check out my tumblr page because there's a lot more from where this came from over there.

Interiors: One Green Chair

I was hoping to find more examples of this dining set up - black chairs with a single green attention seeker at the end. It's a pretty unique set up though and I consider myself lucky for finding two that share so many similarities. Those green chairs pack quite the punch, wouldn't you say?

Interiors: Earth tones

I find myself being drawn to earth tone everything lately: mossy greens, ochre, cream, warm buttery browns. Especially in the chaos that is the holiday season, I want to be surrounded by soothing tones (no electrifying neon, please) and rich texture. Have you been drawn to any particular color palette lately?

Interiors: Collected Casual

My favorite types of spaces are those that feel collected. I know I have a problem with editing down and I suppose I should be grateful that we live in a space that occupies around 800 sq feet so that I'm not tempted to buy every flea market treasure I come across. Until I have my own larger space and the money to fill it with treasure, I'll admire these charming interiors for all their collected, eclectic, lived in loveliness.

Interiors: Red, White and Blue

Happy 4th of July! If you're not celebrating the holiday, perhaps you'll enjoy these (mostly) red, white and blue interiors regardless? And if you are celebrating today, I hope you're enjoying the day off and are taking some time to relax and celebrate. As for me, this is a great excuse to be as lazy as possible and since this post is the first productive thing I've done all day, I'd say I'm doing a pretty good job of it.

Interiors: Soft Blush

Happy Monday! I'm currently traveling from Dallas to Raleigh and had a great weekend with my siblings. A few observations from my latest trip to Texas: I still think North Carolina BBQ is the best BBQ around (I realize these are fighting words for some of you, but I stand firm on this one); I love, love, love horseback riding but man am I sore, and cowboys are still my favorite. 

So how about the different use of soft pink in these interiors? I really like how the pink in the fourth image acts like a neutral while the pink in the second image helps soften a modern couch. It's a versatile color, no doubt. Which space is your favorite?

Interiors: Rustic Grey

I found these charming, (mostly) monochromatic, rustic spaces on Nü Home's inspiration page. I think the words, "refined bohemian" describe the style here, but perhaps you have a better description? Either way, I'd love to have a country home away from home with a bathroom just like that one.

Decor: Vintage Art + Simple Arrangements

From a collection to a single piece, I love the look of a simple vintage art piece hung just right. If you like this look, you might also like this round up of classic portraits used in decor. Hope you're having a good week friends!

Interiors: Dark and Lovely

It has been dreary, cold and wet in Raleigh for the past few days. Weather like this puts me in the mood for dark, warm, comforting interiors. The two bedrooms are my favorite. Very romantic, no?

Interiors: Soft Citrus

Happy New Year! Did you have a good holiday season? Ours was busy with plenty of celebration. It was also restful and I think I'm ready to face the new and get back to work. How about you?

Today I'm drawn to interiors with whisper soft tones of lime, orange, and yellow. The combination of orange and lime has been a long time favorite of mine (thanks to one of my favorite movies of all time), and I'm especially drawn to this palette when it's muted to its lightest tones. Soft warmth. Mmmmm.
