Why

Check out that pattern mixing!  Divine!

Let’s start with the sofa.  Classic lines, seemingly neutral fabric, then BAM you get hit with fantastic pattern and color in an unexpected place.

The very traditional patterns in all the living room textiles are contrasted by the sleek elements in the kitchen beyond.  I’ll take one of those light fixtures for my kitchen please!

First Ever “Pin and Tell”

I spend so much time over at Pinterest, I figure, why not share with you my awesome finds on a regular basis?  Let me elaborate.  I’ll take an image that I Pinned on Pinterest, and I’ll Tell you why it’s awesome.  Thus the birth of my new series: Pin and Tell.  I know, tough concept to wrap your noggin around.

Without further adieu, this weeks image is:

Why?

I’m not usually a pink girl.  In fact I’ve always been a purple girl, and really, you can’t be both, can you?

Anyway, despite the bubblegum walls, this room is bee-you-ti-ful.  The key to this room is scale.  If you look at each individual piece, they all have their own distinct style- some very traditional, others more contemporary, but what really pulls them together is the scale.  No one piece is the star.

This room must really speak to me, because I accidentally pinned it twice.  I can totally picture a layout like this for my own living room and I can only dream to find amazing pieces like these.  Craigslist here I come!
