brightly twisted scarves

Here is my new favorite accessory that seems to go with everything I own.  

Most of my wardrobe can be pulled together with this scarf.  

Super soft, drapes beautifully, hand dyed...you've got to see these scarves in person.  

See a great selection of 'Brightly Twisted' at Knuth.

artful arrangement

What makes this a great space?

A simple neutral sofa with the contrast of modern classic Barcelona chairs.

Shades of blue used throughout creating rhythm and balance.

These design elements against a simple white and wood backdrop 

keeps it from looking cluttered.

But the wall of art and photographs is the focal point of this room.

Although it may appear as if it were casually put together, 

surely a lot of thought went into the framing and placement.

The question is

silver

branch out with color

A sign that spring is here...forsythia in full bloom!

Such a burst of color...especially in contrast to the winter trees.

It's amazing what a punch of yellow can do to a room.

 Keeping the rest simple, one bright object can give a room the wow it needs.

A wall of shells in the typical bright colors of Lilly Pullitzer 

adorns a dressing room in their Sarasota, Florida store.
So very eye-catching and cool.

The opposite wall is detailed in shells with names.

inspired by the hunger games fire dress

I recently read the first of the Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins.

The story of a bunch of adolescents fighting to the death in a futuristic state-sponsored gladiatorial contest has adolescents and adults reading the series and 

running out to the see the movie.

I have not seen the movie (yet!) but am half way through the book series.

'The Girl on Fire Dress' worn by the main character Katniss 

inspired my fire and flame theme.
