Quote of the Week

"So many people shy away from using color in their homes for fear of getting it wrong...but ignorance and fear are no reason to live in a bland box. Beige is a bummer! Colorless is characterless! So vanquish the vanilla: Bold colors will make you happy!"

- Jonathan Adler, Happy Chic: Colors

Have a nice weekend? My mom hosted a fabulous brunch on Saturday to celebrate my 30th with my family and in-laws. She reads my blog everyday so I wanted to quickly say, Thank you mom (and dad, of course!) for everything! xoxo :)  And later today I'll be announcing the 2 lucky winners of Jonathan Adler's new Happy Chic books. It's not too late to enter...click here for details!

  1. Happy 30th! I love the rug company color palettes, they have such an intuitive sense for color and design...Sorry about the long ranting on "what i want my house to say about me"...I guess I had a lot to say at 4:30 in the morning. My clock is still in a time difference of 12 hours ahead.....
