If you’re looking to add a little luxe to your space, look no further than tufted furniture. Tufting details lend a sense of sophistication to a space without going over the top. I prefer tufted furniture in a neutral or basic color like cream or gray. No need to over-do it, you often only need one piece and you’ve got instant glam.
Here are a few idea starters for adding tufted furniture to a room in your home.

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.

Did you know that today is officially Denim Day?!? No really, everyone has an excuse to wear jeans to work today.
Denim Day was started by the non-profit organization, Peace Over Violence, in protest of sexual violence against women. It’s such an important cause which is why today’s post is all about denim.
Here to prove that denim can be chic, here are some examples of denim done right.

One of my go-to websites when I’m creating a design board is olioboard.com. From time-to-time olioboard hosts design challenges where contestants submit virtual design concepts. Currently they’re running a poolhouse design challenge. It sounded like fun, so I decided to submit an entry.
Aesthetically, I wanted the room to be fun and whimsical with lots of vibrant colors. I chose blues and greens to bring the colors of nature and the pool inside. Functionally, there were a couple of things to consider. I wanted to ensure there was a sitting area meant for relaxing and getting a break from the sun; and I wanted to have an area where people could sit down and enjoy lunch or a snack.
So… here’s the final product…
What do you think? If you like it, I’d love for you visit the site and vote for my space.
Thanks for all of the support!
