Saturday in the kitchen...

What do you love about this kitchen? What don't you love? The sun is finally shining here in Maine so I will be out and about today. After all the snow, its going to be refreshing to feel warmer air and sunshine, I am so ready to kick old man winter to the curb!  I want to know what you might do differently in this kitchen or if you would leave it as is.

What do I love? The blue color is fabulous and I love it mixed with the black

and white. The yellow is also a punchy addition as is the tile backsplash in 

the same blue, black and white. I also like the darker cabinets and the mix of

textures in the room. Anything you would change or keep? Do tell! 

Have a great day!

Regina, the Evil Queen's home...imagined...

Its Sunday night again and time for "Once Upon a Time," so I thought I would bring you my interpretation of the Evil Queen's (Regina) imagined Storybooke home.  Since she dresses primarily in monochromatics with mostly black and grey, I imagine her home to be void of any bright colors.  See what you think and let me know your thoughts, if you are a fan of the show too.

Fashion runway to home...

Fashion trends this season according to In Style magazine, include florals and black + gold. I wanted to show you how you can easily translate this from the runway right to your home.  First up is the floral frenzy - everything floral with bright colors on dresses, handbags and shoes. This can easily move to the home by adding wallpaper with bold and colorful flowers or fabrics that scream 'look at me' on a chair. Would you add this floral decor in your home? It is kind of like a 'shabby chic' on caffeine!

The second trend as seen in 'In Style' mag is black and gold.  Now I love black + white, but, this color combo definitely offers a little more glam and a little more chic to the usual combo.  I found some decorating inspiration for both your wardrobe and your home:

I love the black and gold and have seen a lot of it in Jen's apartment over at Made by Girl - I love her style.  I wear a lot of black and white and to refresh my look, I can always add gold jewelry to perk up the outfit and as a great accent.  

Will you be updating your wardrobe to include either of these trends?  I would probably add a colorful scarf to an outfit instead of floral head to toe - I am petite and I'm afraid it would overwhelm my small frame!

Have a great week!
