Lavender home office
Isn't this office serene? I love the desk on wheels combined with the wood stools, lavender walls and white trim. Feels very Zen to me. What do you think? Would you like working here?
Modern Metal
Reminiscent of the workshop lamp (you know the one, the light your father had in his garage, it had a metal base housing a light bulb and was covered in a metal cage just like this one) the TULL brings industrial into the home in a big way. Designed by Tommaso Caldera for Incipit, this light means business. No more being segregated to the garage or workshop, this light is right at home IN the home.

La casa de coto
One of my favorite shops on Etsy is La casa de coto. They make beautiful crochet cushions which I've posted about here. They are also part of the "Popular Posts" category on the right side of the blog so as you can see, I'm not the only one bowled over by their wares. Today I noticed that they have added some new items to their inventory which I thought you should see. Aren't these natural raffia pendant lights in fluorescent colors divine! And how about those Moroccan Kilim Pouf covers. They would go so well with a white couch! Have I mentioned how badly I want a white couch......hmmmm....time to plot, I mean plan...:)

Color Blocking
Color blocking is a fun way to integrate color into your home without going crazy. As you can see by these photos a little pop here and there goes a long way . Of course you don't have to limit yourself to the walls, you can use colorful furniture instead. Isn't that pink table with the red chairs awesome!
French Floral Artist Claire Basler
My friend Lesley Charters Cotton sent me this profile on Floral Artist Claire Basler and boy am I happy that she did. I have never seen floral art this glorious in my life. Claire Basler's murals are just breathtaking. Claire fills the former schoolhouse, now her home and studio, with flowers on a daily basis to provide her with inspiration for her paintings. Check out the pictures below to see what Claire has painted in her own home and then go to Claire Basler to see her full portfolio. You won't be disappointed.
Turquoise + Coral
It's so cold and white/gray here now that I am starting to crave a little color as well as a little warmth. Turquoise + coral has always been one of my favorite color combos so this photo was perfect to uplift my frozen spirit.

Great Display
I love the way color plays such an important role in the decor of The Stables of Como café. The pops of green and orange/red really make the café come alive. Not to mention the amazing display of colorful bottles along the back wall. I love using multiples of one thing as a decor element especially when it's done right and I think it's pretty safe to say that this wall is a winner.

"La Primavera" |
I fell in love with Melissa Pop's paintings the minute I saw them on Pinterest. One look and I was sold. Beautiful, cheerful, reflective and soulful are some of the words I'd use to describe Melissa's paintings and one of my favorite paintings is "La Primavera" which is shown above. The way Melissa has depicted the many colors of the wave as the sun shines through it is just remarkable. There is a luminescence about this painting that draws the viewer in, to the point where you feel like you are part of the wave and part of something bigger than yourself. I love the feelings of warmth and security that I get from this painting and although I know I can't, I feel like I could crawl inside that wave and spend all eternity there.
"Freedom" is a little more soulful and at first glance, a little colder, but do not be fooled, this painting offers up a flight of imagination as vivid as the birds it portrays.
"Until the Lights Come On", "Underwater Melody" and "Tropical Delight" all depict the vibrant colors of tropical life and offer you the opportunity to experience the natural beauty both above and below the water.

Curb appeal using color
There is one sure way to make your house stand out and that is with a bold statement of color! Notice how these two houses really catch your eye by using color in a strategic way. The first house with it's green door and red chair and the second with a simple red bench.

Colorful Living
So much snow has fallen in Montreal over the last few days - 50 cm and counting (yes you read right that is 20 inches of snow-ugh!) - that everywhere you look you see white. Kind of pretty at first but incredibly boring and cold long term so I'm warming myself up by posting some color. I hope that you find the pinks and purples as cheerful as I do! xxx Tracey

All that Glitters is Gold
I'm in the mood for something sparkly and this giant sequin wall certainly fits the bill. What a great way of attracting attention and customers. I also love the soft pink walls and accessories paired with the gold. Absolutely beautiful!
