Sunday Inspiration

Last night I watched a Design Star episode on Hulu and they were designing apartments based on current fashion.  Oddly enough, this morning after putting my outfit together, I knew what I needed to do in my front room and dinning room to spice things up.

I loved the stripes under the cardigan and then I added the 2nd print and was in heaven. ;)

 I owe it all to these shoes.

So the translation into interior decorating:

Bright color + 1-color print + multi-color print = MAGIC

Currently I have green Venetian plaster and green faux finish in the two rooms.  The dinning room is basically all black/brown and green.  Do you understand the need for more color and pattern?  We eventually will get new chairs (we've been saying that for 2 years now), but for now I want to upholster them with a bright pattern and give the chairs a new coat of high-gloss paint.  Then using the same pattern I want to add pillows to the couch and chairs in the front room.  It does have an orange chair and gray/blue curtains and I love the yellow striped pillow - so I'll add one more multi color print  to spice things up a bit.

This is what I'm working with:

I'm thinking Kate Spade meets Pottery Barn:



I love big bold stripes and bright colors!







Lady like - but still fun floral??

So I obviously don't know what kind of multi print I'm going to put with my yellow stripes, but maybe you get the gist of what I'm saying.  I think it time to add some party to these rooms. :)



So if you see any fun patterned fabric send me a link or name.
