Color Story: Fuchsia




A little goes a long way. It's predicted as a hot color for the upcoming (fingers crossed, not too soon) cool weather. Mix it with yellow, camel, charcoal, cream, coral, or navy..you get the picture. Fuchsia works with an array of shades!

Pretty Porches

Outdoor spaces that feel like an extension of the interior? Perfection! I love them and could spend the summer relaxing, eating, drinking and socializing in an environment like the one pictured here. Nancy Pearson designed this fresh and funky space! I think the mix of unexpected color and pattern works well.

Welcome Home - perfectly pastel

Fresh and summery, I'm drawn to architectural accents in sherbet hues right now. Light Pink, Aqua, Mint, Lemon...they're all beautiful. A quick way to add some color to your home is to paint your exterior door in a updated shade.  I also love the idea of painting the interior side to match the exterior! It adds an instant shot of color to your foyer or mudroom.

Watermelon

 What's better in the summertime? This cheery palette is refreshing all year long! I am having a few friends over later this afternoon! I think I need to make this watermelon limeade recipe from Martha Stewart!




Ingredients

  • 8 cups chopped seedless watermelon (about 6 pounds)
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 4 limes)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar, plus 2 tablespoons more, if needed
  • 1/2 cup vodka, (optional)
  • Mint leaves
** Note - I made the watermelon limeade on Friday afternoon. It was very refreshing. Be sure to serve it with lots of ice!! The ice thins it out a little! Enjoy.

Room of the week 6.28

It is absolutely gorgeous in Boston today. I love and enjoy every minute of this time of year. 
I'm especially inspired by the shades of summer right now! The image above reminded me of the colors and textures of drift wood and sand. This dining room pulls off a casually, sophisticated look. The chairs, pendants and table all work so well together. Love it.
