sweater and necklace - jcrew

Fresh Pond Home in Sag Harbor, Moises Esquenazi Associates

Wore this punchy sweater/necklace combo this weekend... (forgive the awful iPhone photo.)  It's a little brighter than my usual outfit choices, but the gorgeous weather has me adoring color... It feels a tad bit daring and just enough out of the ordinary.  For similar reasons, I am loving this kitchen- with its uniquely colored cabinets, and that rug... a completely unexpected combo that is kitchen perfection in my book.  

Happy Monday everyone.

this week - on instagram

I realize I'm a little late to the party, but I am currently loving/obsessed with Instagram...

Hope you had a fabulous weekend!  I'm very much enjoying the gorgeous weather... lots of strolling about while plotting projects and future movement.

Just needed some bright pink today... happy Friday all, hope you have some wonderfully delightful weekend plans to look forward to!

color crush : tangerine

This week I am totally crushing on tangerine, in all shades/tints/hues... bright and saturated or pale and soft, I want it integrated into every part of my day!

Happy weekend everyone...  hope you have lots of bright things planned... enjoy!

color reform

Ever since reading this post, I haven't stopped thinking about these rugs!

How gorgeous are they?  I adore the combination of something so traditional with colors so bright and unexpected... so unique!  Turns out, they sell similar rugs at one of my all time favorite stores, ABC Carpet & Home.  (It's like a wonderland in there... I can't afford anything, but I can't get enough of wandering around!!)

The line of rugs is called Color Reform...they take vintage carpets, remove the color, and then over-dye them in these gorgeous colors.  Each piece is one of a kind... I love them!! I think my favorite is the last image... still an interesting color, but at the same time sort of safe / neutral.

What do you think?

All this rain / slush / snow has me longing for Springtime - flowers, ocean breeze-bike rides, bright yellow sunshine, stripes / white jeans / vacation adventures... for now I am pinning as many spring-inspired images as I can find.  It's a crazy week at work but I'm going to try to not be absent here!  Hope you all had lovely beginnings to your week (is it really only Tuesday now?)

exciting things

Perfect end to a Thursday:  my washi tape arrived!

so pretty!!

And for your Friday viewing pleasure:  a Pinterest round-up... it was a stripey/bold-colored sort of week.

under the weather

OY.  Can't believe it's already basically Wednesday, and the last time I posted was Thursday.  Not so good.  I have been feeling a bit under the weather but I promise more content is coming soon!  Here are a few images I can't get out of my head to tide you over in the meantime:

and a couple blog posts I keep going back to this week:

Jamie Meares' office... love her couch, and her daring taste!  (Also- she is awesome and responds to tweets from lowly non-professionals like myself.)

Erika of Urban Grace Interiors - on Pinterest.... this has added to my addiction significantly

and

Coco & Kelley ... because I'm always excited about the prospect of pops of neon plus neutrals... but also plus pastels?  Doesn't get any better.

Hope you are all having fabulous weeks.

Happy Tuesday all... This week is insanely busy:  catching up from the holiday weekend and getting lots accomplished.

Currently inspired by brights ...going to attempt to incorporate some color into my week, in an effort to make my everyday tasks a little more fun.

Hope you are having a wonderful week thus far...  wishing you brightness and just a little bit of fabulous impracticality.
