Lately I can't get enough of this chic color combination. The furniture in our more formal living room is black and gold and I'm itching for some blue and white accents to finish the look.

In decorating our new house, I've noticed that I'm using a lot of red. Our bedroom, the living room the kitchen -- they all have notes of red throughout. I never thought of myself as a very redcentric person (I usually veer towards greens and blues) but I am starting to really love this potent shade. The rooms pictured above offer quite a bit of inspiration too!

The Cabinet Bar

We are relocating to a little house in a few weeks (so long, apartment life!) and are taking an armoire with us. I was flipping through old issues of House Beautiful and spotted this shot of Mary McDonald's cabinet bar. I love the idea of mimicking this with our armoire, with other pretty glasses and maybe my stash of candlesticks. Perfect for entertaining, right?? 

Mix Masters

ELLE Decor

The art of mixing prints and patterns is not to be taken lightly. I love colorful prints and love to see designers incorporating many of them at once, but it is not easily done! Before I try it myself I'm drawing inspiration from the masters.

Some people say to stay within the same color scheme, while others follow their own rules. I'm thinking I'll try a combination of both!

Fancy Friday

I thought I'd leave you party people with some shots of Miles Redd's fabulous New York apartment, as seen in House Beautiful. Perfect for my bold decor resolution for 2012 methinks. I hope everyone has a fantastic Friday and wonderful weekend!
