Multiple Patterns



I have always been drawn to a mixture of different patterns, textures and styles. Don't be scared to mix floral, stripes, polka dots, toile's etc. It adds interest to your room and brings excitement. If multiple patterns in one room over helms you, try to go with different patterns and textures in the same shade. Let us know your favorite mixtures!!!

Some pictures for inspiration!
























Here are a few pictures that inspire me. I love the details, I think that is what makes a room! I love a grouping plates, art or photographs. A chandelier in a bedroom is one of my favorites, actually a chandelier anywhere is a favorite. I also like mirrors, they give the illusion of a larger space, but what a great picture through the mirror. Let me know and or see your favorite designs.

NYC inspiration!





































I was lucky enough to get away for a quick girls weekend with my Granddaughters to New York City. I always find New York to inspiring and energizing! I love walking the streets looking at architecture, museums and shopping. However, with a six and eleven year old museum time was minimal at best. I have included some pictures that I took while shopping. I enjoy all the grouping of art, plates and photographs. Of course we ended up at Dylan's Candy Shop, what trip ( with kids ) to NYC would be complete without Dylan's?

A true Dinning Room transformation













I love, love, love this room! Can you even tell it is the same space? The window treatments add height and interest to the small dinning room. The mirror opens the space up and reflects the lovely living area. If you ever thought color could change the feel of a room, here is a great example. The blue ceiling is always a creative option. I am looking for a dinner invitation in my future.
