FEELS LIKE FALL IS HERE!


Today REALLY feels like the first day of Fall in Los Angeles. I woke up bright and early to a perfectly crisp sky with a HUGE chill in the air! Something about this picture makes me long for a cold day out on the water in a modern cement-y house to curl up in and watch the cold go by.

ANTLER LOVE

There are MANY things in life that creep me out: bugs, snakes, earthquakes, fires, horror movies, cotton balls - don't ask - but dead animal skulls? Totally not creepy at all. Especially when they are mounted in the most beautiful way, preferably in a group, and outside of the Elk Lodge!

I've been obsessing over that dining room I posted about with the antlers for a while now... even investigating where on earth the dear pinner on pinterest pinned it from (even she didn't know) trying to track down the designer/homeowner so I could give him/her/them major props for creating such a space.

So while the obsession continues, I thought I would share some OTHER antler yummyness to inspire you.

So what do you think? Creepy? Beautiful? A little bit of both???

GREY + YELLOW

I know I'm a little late to be posting about a trend that is most likely out of style by now, but I have been OBSESSSSSSING over grey + yellow interiors right now! I think its such a classic yet updated color combination to use in any and EVERY space in your home. What do you think? Is this already on its way out, or will grey + yellow be here to stay?

PINKING AROUND

The blogs were abuzz the other day when design*sponge posted this image of a room with a shocking pink coffee table. Some have had serious objections to its bright pop to the room, but I have to say, I fell in love immediately!



I think the neon pink livens up what could have been a dark and stormy room! So it got me thinking, in what other ways can we incorporate unexpected brightness?



The pink on the chairs here really makes that boring table fun.



I would adore a huge pink desk for my office! I don't think Andrew would like it very much, but its just so glam!



The shocking pink interior of these heavy carved bookcases are JUST sublime! The Gothic feel of the room is much softer by bringing in the unexpected.

SO what do you think of these uses of the color pink? Not exactly something I would have thought of doing, but I really love the element of surprise each one of these rooms evokes.

MASTER BEDROOM IDEAS














I have been searching for some ideas for our master bedroom for quite some time, and it seems the one theme I keep coming back to is clear: upholstered headboards, symmetry and dramatic lighting. When talking to Andrew I had suggested a neutral almost all white palette with pops of turquoise, navy and gold as accents... but looking at all of these images, I don't see any of that here. I guess its a lot harder than I thought to imagine since I can't seem to find exactly what style we are as a couple yet.

Well, dream on these images for a bit and hold tight to see what we come up with!

PIN:TEREST

Happy 2011 EVERYONE!

There is something special to be said about waking up to a new year full of possibilities and new insights. The date of 1.1.11 is ultimately a new beginning in itself. This is the beginning to my year of OPTIMISM.

Anyone who knows me can tell you that 2010 was my year for CHANGE. I changed everything in my personal life. I moved back home with my parents. I graduated college. I changed my eating habits. I went back to my natural hair color. I changed my waistline. I motivated myself to become a happier more fulfilled person. I finally fell in love with someone who was just like me. I learned to pay attention to the small details in conversation. I traveled and changed my language barriers. I allowed myself to have fun. I walked 60 miles in 3 days for Susan G. Komen even though I despise exercise. I got on the treadmill and verified that I still hate exercise even after the fact. I changed my overall outlook on life. Hell, I even changed my style of under garments.

The point I am trying to make is that I DECIDED with every ounce of my being that I wanted a better life. I was too serious, too stuck on negativity with daily life. Nothing was good enough for what I wanted - and I didn't even know what I wanted really anyways. It took 365 days of changing to get to where I am today: an optimist in training.

Realize when I write 'in training' that I am allowing myself to work on what I want to become. My attitude is positive at best but its not always optimistic. I live a 'strategic' life where I like to weigh all possible outcomes. I love that and hate that about myself most of the time because I ask EVERYONES advice about everything before I make a decision... even though my gut instinct is always the same as their recommendations. Even so, its a challenge for me to be optimistic and jump heart first without weighing my options. So this is my newest endeavor as of today - to be the best possible ME I can be.

My girlfriend Lindsay turned me on to a new website: Pinterest (sounds like pin-terest). Pinterest is an online place to catalog the things you love. Its a social avenue full of things that others - tastemakers and friends alike - follow to collect and share the things they love and share within a community of other like-minded people. I figured since my resolution is to be an OPTIMIST why not join something where others are posting things they LOVE too? As of now they are only allowing members who have received invitations to join their site, so I went ahead and invited myself. I encourage all of you creative design oriented peeps to do the same so we can create an image library based on what inspires us to be the best possible ME's.
