As winter comes to a close, we huddle in our bedrooms, outwitting the cold weather and dreaming of spring. A haven of a bedroom is all you really need to survive 12 degree temps and below. Here are a few inspirational pieces to create the modern respite of your dreams….
2014 has found me a bit obsessed with black & white, stripes mainly, but all spaces with the classic hues in dual contrast have enamored me of late…it seems I see it everywhere I look! Black & white will never go out of style and the ways in which it can be utilized in design and life are endless.
The stripes, especially, speak to the duality of human nature and are a metaphor of the inner conflict we face. But heck, they just look fantastic!! So, here are several images to inspire you as well as a few new products on the market offering the classic juxtaposition of black & white. Happy Designing!

Some of you may know how much I adore pink…I can’t even count the amount of pink things that I surround myself with from clothes to ipods to perfume (Victoria’s Secret Pink) to sharpie pens to my newly adored Kate Spade bag. Why do I love pink so much? Am I the only one?
So, on this V-day, I thought I would explore the power of pink.
In my life, this color has always spurred me to action, allowed me to face challenges with optimism. Purchasing my first Kate Spade bag in my favorite shade was a symbol of good things to come in 2011. I already feel it’s effects as I juggle new clients and new love.
