children rooms

Is this room not entirely darling?! Interior designer Tawna Allred of Rêve Décor out of Star Valley, Wyoming created the cheery space, photographed beautifully here by Rebecca White. The room actually belongs to Tawna's two lucky little girls, ages 9 and 4, so she wanted it to be a little more grown up and fun...but also flexible! My favorite thing here is the adorable artwork. Her oldest daughter actually drew the pictures years ago and Tawna turned them into oil paintings! (A fab service she provides for everyone!) I just love the wainscoting, super-cute pendant lights and cozy bedding too! Check out more photos–including before's, and read all about the space right here!

It's always an exciting day when Pantone announces their pick for Color of the Year! Emerald is their choice for 2013 and I'm very pleased...it looks fantastic with turquoise! According to Leatrice Eiseman, the executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, green is the most abundant hue in nature. The human eye actually sees more of it than any other color in the spectrum. I'm thinking green and blue has to be Mother Nature's favorite color combo! You can read all about Emerald and why they chose it over at Pantone!

Michel Van Devender

How often do we get to see a turquoise Christmas tree?! So fun! This festive Charlotte, North Carolina home belongs to Michel Van Devender, a designer at Lisa Sherry Interieurs and was featured in the recent Holiday issue of Lonny. I loved Michel's bit of of advice: "Let your home tell the story of who your family is and how you live. People are interesting and have personalities, and so should their homes." Yes! And from I'm seeing above, this is one fun family! You can read all about the home and see lots more photos by Patrick Cline right here!

Studio Ten 25

Immersing myself in a house full of pretty color (Wythe Blue!), fun pattern and fabulous furniture is what I call the perfect end to the week! This fabulous home was designed by Abbe Fenimore of Studio Ten 25 out of Dallas, Texas (and photographed beautifully by Melanie Johnson) for a newlywed couple that wanted a chic modern look for their first home together. The builder’s standard and more traditional finishes weren't working for them so Abbe had dark espresso hardwoods installed, dated lighting changed out and unveiled a black and white color palette with pops of turquoise and yellow! She also incorporated the wife's love for mirrored pieces while bringing in the bold graphics and masculine touches the husband was after. All in such perfect balance! Isn't the bedroom amazing?! (The couple–and Abbe's favorite room!) The curtains and bedding are so luxurious, not to mention that incredible headboard!

If you love Abbe's style as much as I do (EVERY room she's designed I love, how often can you say that??), definitely visit her online store Shop Ten 25! Also check out her website and blog too....so much inspiration, so little time!! Happy weekend! :)
