A Touch of Pink

When I was at the design center last week I picked up a fabric sample that has quickly become my favorite pick for Spring.

The pattern is "Kudzu" from Kravet and the colors are a little more saturated in person than in the image.

I love how bright and fresh this feels.  A few pillows made up in this linen would definitely bring a shot of happy into any space. I'd really love to see some drapery panels in Kudzu. Gorgeous!

If you're looking for a way to shake up the look of a room for Spring, adding a little pink is a quick way to do that. 

Whether that dose of pink comes in the form of a new Madeline Weinrib rug, Jonathan Adler decorative tray or by simply recovering some of your existing books in pink paper, here are some quick ideas I pulled together for ways to easily incorporate this bold color into your home.

Books, Stool, Rug, Lamp, Juju, Tray, Pillow, Print, Pouf

Nailhead Love

I recently began purging another closet in our house and came across a giant box of about 1000 nickel nailhead I forgot I had stashed away.  I'm feeling the need to put them to good use. They were originally purchased with the intent of making one of these:

Bryn made it look so easy and it probably is if you use the proper material (ahem!), corkboard NOT pegboard which is insanely dense and virtually impenetrable. Tried as I might I just couldn't get those little buggers to go in and stay in. To make any progress at all, I had to hammer so hard that previously hammered nailheads would pop right out of place.

Needless to say, I didn't finish this project. I don't remember exactly what happened to mine either.  There are flashes of things being thrown, tears being shed, multiple glasses of wine being consumed.

Anyway.

Despite my epic fail at trimming out an inspiration board, I'm still in love with the look of nailhead trim.  I especially love it when used in interesting patterns and in unexpected places.

Maybe I'll have to give nailhead another try.
