Some time ago I helped a friend pull together some inspiration for his new studio apartment.  I love the color combo even though it is a bit of a departure from my own home — it is fun and eclectic with the blues and rusty tan hues in a mix of patterns.

 

For a cleaner, more streamlined vibe, just swap out the pillows and the rug.  There is still a lot of visual interest with the combination of textures and materials, but less pattern and a tighter color palette give it a quieter overall feel.

 

Which do you prefer?  Either way, that sofa and leather chair have my heart!

As if it wasn’t hard enough to get out of the store with out purchasing EXTRA STUFF, Target has been killing it with their home decor lately.  Between their Project 62 and new Opalhouse lines, I can’t get enough.  After mulling over wallpaper options here, I finally decided to go with the pretty floral with birds, above.  Paired with a new tasseled bathmat and some greenery, our bathroom is looking 100% better.  And candle snuffer, where have you been all my life?  We may or may not have a couple new pillows in the living room, too, because give me all the pillows.

As spring gets underway, I’m really feeling these lovely shades of goldenrod/mustard/yellow.  Something about these sunshine-y hues makes me smile every time.  Just the thing to brighten a Monday!
