Pattern makes a compelling argument for the beauty that lies within in the it’s all in the detail details.

Invariably there comes a point in the color selection process when the space and the style is better suited for color to make its statement through decor accents, texture, and pattern.

Sitting at my keyboard going over the final parts to this post I am lulled by the hum of a lone lawn mower off in the distance keeping time with the wind chime choir on the patio.  Quiet moments when God slows the busy offer an opportunity to still, reflect, and mediate.

I hope the noise that gets in your way at times is softened by spring’s beauty and gentle sounds, a sunshine for the soul moment.

Contemporary and modern design styles seem to influence the decision to incorporate accents in one or a blended mix of what I call the metal golds (brass, bronze, copper) into the space, however, the argument can be made  that going for the golds in spaces primarily designed in traditional and new traditional design styles with metal neutral walls connects the dots to contrast as well as complement.

Winter Blues

Winter blues is prime for reinterpretation when warming up your home decor for winter.

winter-blues-sky-snow-covered-trees

Tomas Tuma

If winter was a dance imagine it a December to March waltz keeping 3/4 time in a slow and graceful step.

Wintertime weather coupled with shorter days often leads to extended periods of time spent indoors hibernating, if you will.

This exact time of the year and season naturally slows the pace of our day to day presenting an opportune time to recharge and refresh self and home.

Home-in-blue

Time spent in the company, cozy comfort, and beauty of our home is time well spent.

Feathering one’s nest in this time between the end of the holiday hustle and bustle and spring’s arrival in winter blues offsets the harshness of the actual winter blues.
