Pattern, Peeps & Pedicures

Inspiration is everywhere and this week we found it in Essie's latest resort collection.  The line is filled with pretty pinks and purples (and with interiors always on our mind), we coupled these shades with fabrics that pair just perfectly!

PINSPIRATION - Pattern & Prints

After AM meetings and a bit of work on the new website, we shifted gears and began brainstorming a few new design ideas for our next piece of custom color block art (click here to peek at a sample of one of our pieces).  Thankfully, we have our "pattern & prints" Pinterest page to help keep us inspired!  See more...

Mixology - Pattern & Print

For those that know me best, they know I love color, texture, art, and all things design. I love mixing different patterns and prints, and one of my strengths has always been putting unexpected combinations together in both interiors and events. I go crazy for textiles too, and there isn't a fabric store I can walk by without peeking in.  I find myself pushing my clients to take risks with texture and pattern, and the end result is often such a thrill.  I also mix patterns in my daily wardrobe and in my home (you should see the collection of ikat pillows on my neutral sectional!).

This week, I have a rather large art project in the works.  Yes, one that requires a large, sharp pair of scissors, an intricate grid system, and a few yards of gorgeous fabric from our friends at Versace and Chanel (found here).  I am using this delicious color palette for our custom piece(s), and can't wait to share the finished product with you next week!

Charm City Style - Playful Pattern

I made a quick trip to pick up the mail today, received this, and couldn't be more delighted!  This playful printed dress (which I think would make fun wallpaper too) paired with patterned tights was just what I needed to be inspired all day long.  I love the fringe detail and my soft leather messenger bag 

is a recent gift from Santa.
