Get Your Black Tie On

Pinterest has made a lot of people obsessed, myself included.  It's like reading a favorite magazine.  Pretty much anything you want or need to know can be found on this amazing website. If you can't understand the allure instantly, give it at least half an hour.  Once you play around and figure it out, you'll most likely love it, too.  

My obsession is pinning color combinations.  While not technically colors, my black and white board is one of my favorites.  It can be black-tie formal or casual and comfortable.  Whatever the application, black and white sets off color like nothing else.  Please check it out HERE.  In the meantime, here's a sneak peek of what I've collected...

Everyone Sings the Blues

This is my second post in 3 months on the color blue.  Can't help it.  The color is a classic.  And it's Hanukkah time right now and that means blue and white.  But I found lots of blue and white that is appropriate all year long.  Check out our Birth of the Blues board on Pinterest.  Here's just a taste.

Red & Green. Not just for Christmas.

When I look at how cheerful and bright the combination of red and green is in these non-Christmas environments, I always wonder why this combination is so taboo for interior decor.  I've designed children's rooms with this color combination and they're always sweet.  Just like the farmhouse pictured here.  It couldn't be more Americana.  Whether it's the mid-century modern pillows, the labybug or apple-themed rooms or the sophisticated Ikat fabric, the colors are happy.  After all, who doesn't like a happy room?
