silver + mandarin

Sexy is not a word I use often, at least in terms of a color combination but I can't help but use it when describing the look of silver and mandarin together.

color pops {rust}

I think using complementary colors in a home is great way to make a statement and rust orange and blue has long been my favorite. I also happen to love the statement that rusts makes on its own as well which is why I was draw to the sparing use of it in this home.
Any how fun is that leaning door?

It is back {brilliant orange}

When I first started blogging two and a half years ago orange was one of the "it" color and I love it. Such a happy hue and one that I have scattered through my one home. From the looks of the Spring 2011 runway shoes orange is still as hot as ever, a few pieces for the home that definitely back that up...

spring brunch [with a twist]

I love brunch no matter what the season-it is always my favorite means of entertaining! Better yet, the casual nature of brunch makes them a more budget friendly alternative than the traditional dinner party. I think for this spring that citrus is the perfect hue and flavor to add to this midday affair.

What is your entertaining style? Are you a brunch girl too?

Oh, and if you like me still need some entertaining ware for the summer then I highly recommend that you take advantage of the current free shipping offer from the lovely delight by design sponsor, farmhouse wares. I think that I will be buying these beautiful ruffle candlesticks...

[more] pops of orange!

I started the week with the orange I thought it would be fitting to end it with orange as well! Instead of posting more ways to inject it into your home I thought I would post some lovely ways to add it to your wardrobe. The dvf wrap bag is definitely going on my wish list!
