Gray + Orange

Happy Monday! I thought we'd start this new week with an unexpected color combo that I find delightfully easy on the eyes. While there are a few pieces in this room that would never find their way into my home (that chair on the right looks so uncomfortable), I adore the way the orange velvet throw pillows pop against the heather gray couch. I'd ditch the bell, antlers, branches, and white stool — but keep those fab faceted coffee tables! — for a look that's modern but not stark.

Au Revoir!

I'm off to Florida with my family through Wednesday and I can't wait to feel the sun on my face and the sand between my toes! I'll be spending lots of quality time with my grandmother, catching a few of my sister's softball games, and — eek! — catching a Red Sox vs. Yankees spring training game with my dad! (We might be Boston's biggest fans; we even have a pup named Fenway!) Thanks to the magic of scheduled posts, however, you'll find new posts here starting Monday. Ta ta for now!
