Months ago, while trolling my favorite antique mall here in Seattle, I stumbled upon the most gorgeous bust. She was a lovely lady topped in a crown surrounded by seashells that cascaded down like hair, and I fell for her bigtime. I’ve been dreaming of finding a bust of my own to do this to, [...]
Good Monday Morning, friends!! I love when I get to kick the week off with a colorful, inspiring posts, and today is a serious dose of both. I mentioned last week that I had been working on a painting project with Sherwin-Williams as a part of National Painting Week, and today I get to finally share my [...]

Dani Well, this post makes it look so easy…
I have always wanted to re-do a piece of furniture with an update to color but have yet to be brave enough. Perhaps it is time to jump in and try.

rachel what an amazing idea?! this looks FABULOUS!
Miss Margarita love it!!!
Rebecca Beaumont I love your new little bar!
I’m so into green at the moment! By you painting it has turned a plain, simple, run-of-the-mill, brown piece of furniture into something that looks unique, fun and very much a designer statement piece of furniture!
Love it!
Kayleigh I just love this shade of green and how the finished product turned out! I will be keeping this color in mind for upcoming ideas. It looks wonderful.
Kayla Love how it turned out. It’s actually a perfect piece to paint and make over. Wish I could find one for myself – I need a piece like that to hold my record player!
Colleen I just love that color! Gorgeous job! So cute as a bar too. I love when you can reuse old things and make them look brand new.
Jaime Lopez Love the pop of color. Your bar looks so great with the update!

michelle What a pretty color to add to that room. I love the gold handles. Well done!
I mentioned yesterday in the post about my painting project that I had wanted to give my kitchen a little facelift. And, since I won’t be doing it with paint, I thought it high time for some inspiration that might offer a different kind of transformation… time to get some kitchen shopping on!! Inspired by [...]
Meg Since you are channeling yellow and black, check out my easy artwork that you could incorporate into your kitchen update.
Cassandra LaValle Post author ohh – the colored fabric one is great! love it.
Morgan {Style Oyster} I have added a bunch of yellow to my house lately – and lovin’ it! I just posted about my living room update today! Love your moodboard. http://www.styleoyster.blogspot.com
Mary Beth I love that pendant! I actually love everything on your mood board. The blue silverware is amazing, but it doesn’t seem to tie in anywhere else.
My current kitchen is popped with yellow, love it, makes it feel bright, highly recommend it!
Cassandra LaValle Post author that’s why i like it – to add a little something unexpected! i like coordinated pieces for the most part, but it’s fun to have a little random whimsy here and there, and i think the blue does that nicely!
Annie markantonatou Love your choices!
Jeanne/Cozy•Stylish•Chic Totally loving the bright yellow Saarinen table – yumm!!!! I just did a post on pops of yellow on black and white, too – I am seeing a lot of it everywhere. And “they” said that emerald was the hot color of the season… I’m kinda thinking it may really be this bright and sunny yellow!
Kelly | Fabulous K Those coffee mugs and that platter. Love love love.
Franki That window…heaven. franki
While last Friday had me in a bit of a mood, I realized that while I certainly can’t control the sunshine (which happens to finally be shining right now!), at the very least, I can control some happy spring thoughts. So, I’ve surrounded myself with flowers, banned Bon Iver from my playlists, and started a little wishlist [...]
zuzanna I have no connection to this store, I just follow them on Instagram, but this pillow would totally complete this mood board! Stunning! http://www.etsy.com/listing/123721876/hand-printed-stalactite-pillow-in-black?
Emily Those stools are amazing!
Miranda {onestylishdayatatime} I’ll agree, the sunny weather we had the last two days definitely helped pull me out of my funk! WIth Summer not really showing up until July 5th in Seattle, it’s so easy to get impatient with the weather!
Emily Those stools are amazing!!!
erika ~TiptoeButterfly~ THOSE stools!!!!!
Rose Not to repeat everyone else who’s already commented, but those stools? They’re so pretty I don’t think I’d want to sit on one, it’s like a work of art!

Stand Out Love the bag <3<3<3
Drew @ Catfish & Caviar Need some of those pendants to hang over my dining table!
YOLONDA I’ll take 1, 2 and 4. I’m digging the color of the bag, the shape of the mirror and the color on the shades!
Lisa Lynn Those stools are incredible. Definitely on my wish list now.
Great post! I know what you mean about being in a ‘mood.’ I want it to be spring so badly right now, but we just got 7 inches of snow..
Always,

Ira's eye I love the list you chose, nude color and minty is a perfect combination!!
I think my mind is ready for a vacation south of the border… or at least south of this rain. I’ve been obsessing over natural linens and layered textiles in soft palettes that recall warmer weather and seaside vacations. Still cozy enough for winter, but inviting the spring, the only colors here are shades of [...]
Emily | Sparkle Meets Pop Great finds! I go back and forth between loving bright colors and being drawn to more muted ones. So many great patterns in this style, too, that I think would be very easily layered.
Julie-White Tapestry We just returned from Colorado so this post is so fitting for me right now…love this look!
adrianairis Loving this color combination.
Lejla LOVE IT!
Anna Love that palette and your selection of pillows and rugs is perfect. J’adore le Ikat Square Pillow !
Krista I mean!!… how gorgeous is that?
Emily Rolfing This is so great. I love how all the color mix. They are really subtle and muted. They would be so relaxing in a living environment. Those stripe pillows are divine!
crystal ooooo i love this!!! beautiful!
Diana I love this look! The prints and colors work so well together!
Lexi @ Glitter, Inc. Not only do I love the patterns but I love the gorgeous warm colors! Great finds.
Given my love for the word ‘holla’ in my home… I just couldn’t resist sharing these welcome mats. If those both don’t belong at my front door, I don’t know what does. Available here.
Chelsea This. Is. Fantastic.
My roommate would kill me, but I love it!
Andi of My Beautiful Adventures Hahahaha I LOVE this!
Becca I love these doormats! Reed and I went to college together, and I love seeing him get some press!
Cassandra LaValle Post author small world!!
wmbg HOLLA!!!!!!
A couple of months ago the editors at Mountain Living asked if I was had time for a little project, and (shockingly) I did – and I’m so glad because I had fun with this one! The assignment was to choose a home accessory that reflected a trend to watch in 2013. After much pondering, [...]
Tiffany What a gorgeous lamp! I can see why you chose it, although picking something must have been a challenge! Your styling options are spot on as usual! Merry Christmas!
Cara love it!
Chelsea SO beyond gorgeous! Although, the poor post-grad in me automatically thinks “how can I DIY that?” sigh…
xoxo

Bekah I adore Option #2! I love how the glamour is grounded with the texture and colors. Plus, it’s playful and fun! Great choices!
Rachel Lovely! Option 1 is my fav!
mikky Yup, you knocked it out of the park with option #3. That lamp is a stunner. Really original. I’m loving all the use of stones in decor.
Now you’ve got to make 3 more options with the rose gold version
