Another Surprising 2013 Decor Trend

Brass. I don’t really understand this one, maybe it works more-so for the upscale/elegant non-traditional type homes. But it reminds me of the 70′s or 80′s? And not in a fun way, just seems to be just that… a trend that will come and go? I like contrast and eclectic looks but just personally not a Brass fan as it comes off as tacky to me? Thoughts?

Pantone’s 2013 Color of the Year is…

Emerald!

I’m surprised?! Not sure exactly how to feel about this shade just yet, especially since it’s polar opposite of last year’s color: Tangerine Tango! I have yet to see this hue decked out in a home so far this year, come to think of it… at all really. It kind of reminds me of a funky portion of the 90′s?(dark green carpets come to mind… was that in the ’90′s?)

I do, however, think that different shades of emerald, and of course used in fashion or as accent pieces or decor accent walls- I’m sure can be pulled off no problem. For the full press release- Click Here.

I wasn’t feelin’ Pantone’s press photos on the color, so instead opted for the can’t-go-wrong Elle Decor’s take on the new trend;

Design Inspire! Martyn Lawrence Bullard in Elle Decor

I’m a big fan of Martyn Lawrence Bullard- he’s a famous worldly award winning interior designer. His resume includes celebrities such as Cher, Sir Elton John, Christina Aguilera, Eva Mendes, Kid Rock, Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne, etc. His impressive resume also includes commercial projects such as the Colony Palms Hotel Group, which is where I first saw his work after watching and learning about him on Bravo TV- I enjoyed an awesome weekend stay at their Palm Springs Colony Palms Hotel last year, soaked up the atmosphere and savored the experience… it was like I was in a land far far away! His own home was just featured in Elle Decor and I can’t wait to pick up a copy!

He implicates a culturally rich eclectic design, which exudes an warm exotic flare and I think every cozy stylish home can benefit from his staple concepts; Read more

Fall in San Diego!

Warm weather steady in the high 70′s & low 80′s, crisp air, and some  leaves changing colors… it’s Fall in San Diego! The housing inventory remains low throughout the county and the market ‘slowing’ down as it usually does during the Holidays may not be the case this year.  Here are a few of my favorite decor picks for the upcoming season:
