Salmon + Brussel Sprouts: A New Adventure
Alright, I have a confession to make…I’ve never had a brussel sprout! I know, it’s odd. But my mom doesn’t like them, and never made them for us growing up (and I’m sure as I child I probably wouldn’t have enjoyed them anyway.) However, as an adult I have no excuse for not at least... (read more)
Wedding Color Palette / Pink + Yellow
Kicking off the week with something bright and energizing! Such a bold move, putting a yellow couch in a room that pink. Yet, it totally works.

Tuesday’s Top…Wallpaper Patterns
I love wallpaper! It’s been making a resurgence the past few years with modern patterns, brighter colors, and easier methods for putting it on and taking it off. Some people think it looks old fashioned, but if you use wallpaper sparingly and paired with more modern furnishings, it will look very current and beautiful, without... (read more)
Wedding Color Palette / Rust + Green
While I’m still off soaking up the awesomeness of Key West (or more likely soaking up the non-awesomeness of the airport today) here’s a great color palette that I put together which would be sweet and lovely for a fall wedding. I’m thinking: autumn flowers, bales of hay, and the changing leaves. (With a couple... (read more)
