{idea notebook} whites with everything

I am absolutely loving white right now... in moldings and casings and trim on walls, in upholstery (always) and rugs and draperies. I am loving the brilliant white of the Greek isles... especially mixed with blues, pinks and vibrant orange and the softer white of sandy shores. White looks fantastic with texture and pattern and pitch perfect with crisp, green fauna and tons of organic pottery. In my mind, nothing compares to how pure white can invigorate a space with simplicity, relaxed elegance and freshness. It is always just right, and I am so loving it!

{inspiration+palettes} as Delectable as Summertime

I love summertime and I am so inspired by all of the wonderful flavors and scents that come alive during these months. Finding the perfect color is as simple as eating a cup of icy-cool, mint chip ice cream after a mid-day swim or feasting on the rich reds and supple oranges of fresh, tomato salsa... summer palettes are full, they are fresh and oh so terribly yummy. Love it! (and now I am officially hungry!) Welcome back to the week everyone!
