Green has to be the most versatile of all colors. It goes traditional, modern, retro, rustic. It looks good with browns, oranges, neutrals, blues, reds, pinks, purples…….The combinations are endless!

Balancing Straight Lines and Curves
For me, too many horizontal and vertical lines within a space make me feel rigid and uncomfortable. Many of you have a similar reaction but perhaps haven’t been able to nail down the cause. While I love the very sleek contemporary furnishings, I can’t live with the hard-edged feel of the minimalist, straight-lined interior day in and day out. So if you want to enjoy some of those crisp mid-century or modern pieces, you need only introduce them to elements that exhibit curvilinear shapes. Whether you add a chair with a curved leg, a lamp with circular shapes or even a throw pillow with a soft design, you are able to break up the stiff formality and usher in a more inviting living experience.

Pendant Lighting: Stylized Illumination
A pendant light fixture or grouping of them is a great way to add a functional focal point over a bar, sink, kitchen table or even an intimate seating group. They’re a nice alternative to sconces flanking a bathroom mirror, task lighting over a desk, or simply centered in a window. Because they’re smaller than a chandelier, they’re perfect for small spaces that need a little oomph! The popularity of pendant fixtures is growing so much because of their versatility and as a result manufactures are putting energy into creating artistic forms that allow for innumerable options for personal expression.

Farmhouse Chic
Farmhouse chic is one of the most fun and engaging styles of interior decor. I like to start with a neutral base on upholstery and then add a mix of aged wood elements, metals and quirky accessories. Bursts of color can come from accessories, decorative pillows, blankets and artwork. This is a homeowner’s opportunity to hit antique markets and search for hidden treasure. Almost anything can serve as an accessory or artwork if you have the right spot for it.
