KID ZONE

Who doesn't love a beautiful children's room? I think diverting from the Potterybarn kids catalog is a great place to start (not that they don't have an adorable selection)! The below kids rooms have great color combos, design and are still kid friendly.

THE WHITE FACTOR

It is pouring down rain outside and I think thoughts of spring are helping me deal with the gloom. I write so much about the importance of color but this post is dedicated to the extreme opposite, white. I love all things white! One of the first design tips I ever got was from a great mentor of mine explaining to me the importance of white (or Ivory for warmer tones) and the impact it creates in a home. Colors need to contrast off each other to create balance and interest. If your home is feeling a little "blah" add a couple of white accent pillows, books, accessories...you will see how much it will come to life.

TILE MAKES ME SMILE

Last week I went to two different tile showrooms, Walker Zanger and Dal, looking for the perfect black tile to use on a clients Fireplace. It is always fun to see new tile patterns arrive on the showroom floor, they always get more and more amazing!

Tile design is one of my favorite aspects of interior design by far!
