Happy Monday

In my stacks & stacks of inspiration images I came across these images in a the 2007 April/May issue of New England Home. Designer Susan Sargent transforms a typical Beacon Hill Condo into an amazing palette of bright & bold colors! Enjoy!

Afternoon Inspiration

Splash of Color pick me up!


Perfect piece of art to add some POP - featured in the April 2009 Issue on Metropolitan Home

Friday's Fab Finds...

My FAB FIND for this week actually came from the May issue of House Beautiful and the work of interior designer Jonathan Adler. Titled "Every House Needs Pizazz" Adler uses layers of pattern and color to make a splash in fashion design Liz Lange's home in New York

This shot of the dining room is my absolute FAVORITE. The black and white graphic on the area rug sets the stage for the pop of color above. The turquoise on the drapes is carried throughout the house but Adler introduces a splash of yellow lacquered on his own Chippendale Chairs.

The turquoise, black and white palette are carried into the living room layering in additional color texture (notice the nail heads on Regent armchair) I'm not sure if you can see it but Adler painted the hardwood floors white - a daring move but am AMAZING result - the white floor and walls create a backdrop for the rest of the items to pop off of.

The white crisp kitchen (from ikea) is offset with a great green and white pattern on the Cherner Bar stools. Open shelving creates the opportunity to neatly display the colored dishware - form and function!

Splash of Color

So - I have had the latest issue of Design New England sitting on desk for weeks now and in need of some inspiration on this dreary Monday I finally opened it up....and inspiration I found! What could be better on a rainy Monday than a splash of color!

This space sure makes Beacon Hill pop with color! The living room is like Mondrian's dream come true!The bright bold colors are balanced by timeless pieces such as the parson's table and Marcel Breuer arm chairs. The space is layered in color and texture making the simple furniture blend with its surroundings.



















In Boston's Back Bay another condo is washed with vibrant color! I love simplicity of the architecture combined with the electric layers of color!

Organization Station

My husband hates when I say that....but being Obsessive Compulsive isn't easy! Everything needs to have its place and I can think of a more fun way to organize then with COLOR!


Keep toys looking organized by grouping them by color!



















Have open cabinets or shelving? Neatly stack coordinating dishes & glasses together for a clean look



















Have a collection of old perfume bottles, vases or anything else that builds a home stuck in closet somewhere? Group them together for a great display of texture and color!

If only my closet looked like this! Grouping clothes by color helps make your closet feel organized!






















Got a book collection the size of a small library? Display them together by color to create a great piece of art!
