Despite the fact that it’s Monday, I’m super excited about today’s post. Lately, I can’t seem to get enough bold patterned tile.  It adds so much interest and personality to a space; it’s like an instant dose of sophisticated old-world charm.  Likely not the tile of choice for the minimalist… it takes some guts to take the plunge and embrace these powerful pops of pattern.

Do you have the guts to go bold with tile? What would be your room of choice?

Throwback Thursday to one of my very first posts from March 25, 2012… still one of my faves ♥

So, you want to add interest to a room, but you’re afraid of color… have no fear, here are some chic options that stick to a neutral black and white color palette.

 

Wallpaper is a bit of a commitment, but this one is just fabulous!20120325-225447.jpg

 

This bedding is crisp and clean, but still shows personality.

The oversized damask print on this chair is the right mix of fun and sophisticated.

This pillow is like adding abstract art to your couch.

Truly one of my favorite prints of the moment, this chevron rug is the definition of effortless chic!20120325-230314.jpg

Happy Friday, Everyone!

I’m kicking off the weekend with the eternally chic trend of black and white stripes. Okay… so maybe it’s not a trend since it’s one of the most classic color-patern combos around, but the duo is definitely having moment. Oh, and I’m definitely a little obsessed.

To inspire you give the “trend” a try, here are some ultra chic options to get you started.
