In the past few months, I've been inspired by bursts of color in the pages of my favorite shelter and fashion magazines. As a Florida native, bright colors have always made me happy, and I'm thrilled to see them embraced with such wild abandon!
Take a look at some of my favorite shots below:
This is one of the most relaxing breakfast rooms I could possibly imagine (from Martha Stewart Living, April 2011). Those Ikea Solvar chairs are gorgeous, but unfortunately it seems like they've been discontinued - I can't find them anywhere on the website. I also loved the natural version of these.
That Miles Redd - he does it every time! I appreciate his daring sensibilities and willingness to combine tons of color with bold pattern. This exuberantly decorated Manhattan home appeared in the April 2011 House Beautiful.
I love the creative treatment of this collection of celadon vases.
There's not a dull surface in the entire place!
Primary colors and hot air balloon wallpaper combined with sophisticated lamps and furnishings make for a playful child's bedroom that adults can appreciate too.
Canada's House & Home April issue shows the same room styled with two different color palettes.
Both are pretty and distinctly different!
I think my absolute favorites from this series are the breakfast area and the Miles Redd sitting room. And you?
I love the breakfast area, too. I like the sitting room, but would cut down the number of vases. The color is quite inviting!

Hi Cathy,
Love this post, but really wanted to stop and say that I think you're doing an AWESOME job with your blog! I just discovered it about 2 hours ago, and completely fell in love. I noticed that your blog is fairly new and that you don't post every.single.day, and that really made me feel better about myself and my little blog. It's good to see someone that posts out of sheer "want-to", instead of trying to keep up with the masses. Keep up the great work and I'll definitely be checking in on a regular basis! Take Care!
