Miss Antoinette Inspired

Marie Antoinette – not only a fashion icon but a lavish hostess who spared no expense when it came to her guest and their fun. Sometimes don’t you want to fill your house with a multitude of candles, sparkling crystal and dance till dawn? Who wouldn’t? The Ladies in Waiting plates are such a fun reminder of the experimental period in costume and hair and the “eat cake” print is just so fun. There are so many styles of the ‘ keep calm’ now!

Ombre all the way

Either dip dye or ombre the effect is the same = foxy.

With fall quickly approaching (say it isn’t so) these finds remind me of the changing color of trees. There are TONS of online tutorials so go get your dye on. I’m thinking napkins, towels, pillows – anything that is standing still basically. This means that my fam might be getting some handmade gifts this year.

Pool House Winners

Winner: Crysdawn “Our New Jacuzzi for the Pool House”

The neural colors of this room really let the blue ocean shine through. The different hues and textures of the wood really give it depth. And of course you need a pile of fresh fruit to keep your energy up. Great job.

Lu-Anne “Pool House Fun”

What a cool, fun room. Lots of bright colors to keep the energy going. The flooring is one of my favorite touches. Of course you need a supply of surf boards if you are living on the beach.

mountainalive “Blue Pool House”

Blue like the ocean, white like the clouds. This room is so chic.  I love the addition on the different throw pillows and the dark brown of the chairs really gives it elegance.

DDH Community winner: photo513 “Patriotic Pool House”

Simple, fresh and clean. Great use of the different hues of blue with pops of ruby-red pillows.  I love that there are a lot of different sitting areas. Great for entertaining.

Congrats to all the winners and thank you all for participating.

Mint of my eye

I’m kind of really digging this kitchen at the moment. The cool color palate of mint and white has a great balance with the harsh chrome fixtures and rustic brick. To add a little more whimsy to the space here are some of my favorite little items found around web. Click to view 1, 2, 3
