Grey Rooms + Colorful Chairs: Would You Rather?

Broken down, these are two grey rooms with bright, colorful chairs. The first room is a darker shade of grey, with whites, blacks and more pops of color than just the bright coral chairs.

On the other hand, the second room is a lighter almost-white grey accessorized with various other shades of grey and then popped with the bright sea green chairs.

So, two grey rooms with colorful chairs – which would you rather?

The Nest

It’s supposed to be BEAUTIFUL in New Jersey today! How is the weather where you are?

I can’t think of a better way than to spend the day outdoors – of course – and this unique Nest from Kirv would make my outdoor experience all the more enjoyable. Made from electro-polished stainless steel, the Nest is like the outdoor version of the popular Ball Chair.

Plus, that pink weatherproof seat has my name written all over it with it’s vibrancy! What do you think of the Kirv Nest?

The Bourgie Lamp

At Eataly in NYC, all of their chairs are made by Kartell and they have a section in the front of one of the entrances with different lamps and accessories also made by Kartell. I can’t remember if they had the Bourgie Lamp and the Take Lamp there, or just the Take Lamp, but either way, I know that my encounter with this section led me to the Bourgie Lamp and a new obsession.

Just look at that lamp, it’s fun, modern and gorgeous! And I need one, in gold, ASAP! Better start saving my pennies, huh? That bad boy in gold runs for close to $1,000.

What are you feelings on the Kartell Bourgie Lamp? Do you love it as much as I do?

Recipe Radar: On the Grill

Happy Spring! I know we’re not even one full day into the season, but do you have Spring Fever?! I sure do, hence today’s recipe radar: all recipes on the grill. Because it’s getting nicer and the time to grill is finally here.

I know a lot of people grill throughout the Winter, and we actually did this year too, because it was such a mild season. But, with Spring comes the weather where you can grill outside and stay outside to eat, while enjoying the greens of the trees and the blooms of the flowers. So, here’s a few grilling recipes to keep on your radar:

1) Filipino BBQ Pork Skewers
2) Three-Cheese Potatoes
3) Grilled Chicken with Peach BBQ Sauce
4) Grilled Watermelon Salad

What are some of your favorite recipes for the grill?

Nucleo Presenze Console

I’m loving the modern igloo appeal of the Presenze Console by Nucleo. It is made of 5 x 5 cm cast resin cubes.

Wouldn’t this look amazing in a sleek modern restaurant or hotel? Where do you envision this piece?

Wallpaper Accent Wall: Love This Look?

Designing a room with an accent wall using two different colors of paint has a much different effect than when the accent wall is accented with wallpaper. It’s a little bit more punchy and poppy with the wallpaper, I’d say.

What are your thoughts on wallpaper accent walls?

Elle Decor April Issue

The April issue of Elle Decor arrived in my mailbox last night, but I didn’t even have a chance to look through it yet.

I did, however, have a five minute love session with that gorgeous blue velvet sofa on the cover. Even my living room noticed the cover and started begging me for a sofa that looks just like it! (Too corny?!)

Anyway, have you read the April issue yet? What page was your favorite?

Gorgeous Spaces: The Saguaro of Palm Springs

I don’t know about you, but Daylight Savings Time got me good this time. So, I’ve seen the new Saguaro hotel in Palm Springs around the blogosphere, but I hadn’t really checked it out for myself.

Isn’t it perfectly colorful for this tired Monday morning? I really need to be sitting at that pool right now under one of those giant happy yellow umbrellas. It seems like even the meeting room with its fun orange chairs could make the most boring of meetings turn into something fun.

Under service and amenities, not only is it pet friendly, but daily yoga is included in the daily resort fee. Oh yes, please!

And if you’re making the big bucks, you can arrange for a private consultation with the Saguaro’s designers Peter Stamberg & Paul Aferiat of Stamberg Aferiat Architecture and learn how to introduce color into your own home.

So, who wants to go to Palm Springs with me?

Weekly Six: 3.9.12
