The 5th Wall- 2018 Trend Alert

We'll be looking up a lot this year courtesy of statement ceilings aka the 5th wall. No longer ostracized, you will be seeing ceilings covered in bold wallpaper or painted. Looking around my own home, I am yet to go bold on the ceiling, but maybe this will be the year I stop ignoring my 5th wall...

What's your take on this trend? Love it or not? xx

Books on The Edge

I never thought I would be writing a post about books on the edge but here I am. You see, I recently noticed something very important about bookshelves that are dramatic and impactful. The books are all styled toward the edge and not recessed. Have you ever noticed that? Here are some lovely examples and now I am going to push al my books toward the front of my bookshelf...

It's All in The Details: Shop the Look

This bedroom oozes romance and you can get the same look with the right details. A dark wall color sets the tone and plush bedding beckons. The sophisticated light choices add an air of glam and i love all the velvet touches.

Green Is The New Black: A Paint Update in My Master Bedroom

I know, I know, I really have this addicting relationship with green. During my nesting phase, I removed this famous wallpaper and painted the wall behind the bed a deep green(Benjamin Moore Ming Jade). It provides a subtle contrast against the adjacent walls which sport Benjamin Moore Egyptian Green.

I love how it turned out and I might place a lovely piece of art there. What do you think?

one of my favorite places to sit in the bedroom

Are you tackling any painting projects for the New Year? xx

This is My Color of the Year 2018: Mellow Yellow

Welcome to 2018 my friends. I meant to write this post last year, but didn't get a chance. It seems even more apt now since we're enveloped in this cold vortex that has descended on the land. That Anthropologie sofa pictured above is delicious, isn't it?

Pantone Color of the year-ultraviolet-designaddictmom

design by Matthew Williamson interiors

Whilst I am not opposed to Pantone's saturated choice of ultraviolet for color of the year, I am leaning toward the sunnier side of the color wheel, hence mellow yellow or some might call it mustard yellow. You can see a bit of its use in Cheyenne's nursery and I love the vibrance it adds to a space. Whether used on walls or in accent pieces, mellow yellow is sure to put a smile on your face and enliven your mood especially in these dreary and sometimes depressing Winter months.
