New Year, New Goals...

Happy New Year, all!  2015 already feels like it's going to be a great year, doesn't it?  I feel refreshed and rejuvenated...  and I'm ready to cross off some major goals this year. :)  One of them being the renovation of the 2nd floor of our house, which has been sitting in a sad state for a few years.  We've got big plans for that project this year (including a new bathroom- yay!).  Also, now that the studio is open, I hope to host some design events to grow our business on more of a local level.  I'm very excited about that.  But, the MOST EXCITING news of 2015 is that we will be growing our family by one this year!  I am pregnant and we are expecting a little GIRL in May!!  Dave and I couldn't be happier.

One of my design goals this year is to use more unexpected shots of color.  If you follow this blog, you know that my style ranges from modern to ultra-traditional, while always feeling comfortable and (hopefully) unpretentious.  I use color in an edited manner (pillows, drapery, artwork, etc).  This year, I would like to be a bit bolder with some of my projects.  Here are some images that really suit my style, and I find them so inspiring...









 Each image above shows a very elegant interior, with classic elements throughout-- and, that's why the shots of saturated color are so refreshing and unexpected.  My personal favorite is the pink chair (I love it!), but the simple red bergere gets me every time.  :)
