0 georgia gray paintings

Clearly this week I'm into bright color! I'm such a fan of bold saturated colors in abstract paintings. The rhythmic repetition in these pieces from Georgia Gray really drew me in!


This one reminds me a little bit of Mondrian...


....and Josef Albers here!

I hate the shoes though... Ha!

1 loving green & gold

No. 1// No. 2// No. 3// No. 4
Anytime someone asks me what my favorite color is, I always say that I love them all! It's too hard to pick a favorite. Every once and a while though, I'll become obsessed with a certain color pallette. Right now, that's green & gold! I love a deep emerald green paired with a bright (not yellowish) gold. There's something so regal about it!

0 delicious rooms

The current issue of House Beautiful magazine is packed full of delicious rooms! The "Color" issue features spaces that overflow with color and pattern. Just how I like it!!


An all white kitchen, sputnik-inspired chandelier and those tufted blue chairs... Perfection!


I LOVE this heaboard shape and the chair is to die for...


That chartreuse leather wing back chair jumped off the page at me in this photo...


This room is the ideal example of how to layer pattern and shape without feeling busy!


I love the choice of a "disco ball" chandelier in this otherwise traditional dining room.


And lastly, Tricea loved these greek key patterned shades in a dark bedroom. So beautiful!

1 flavor paper

Check out these AMAZING wallpaper designs from Brooklyn based company Flavor Paper. I dream about installing wallpaper like this for a client! They even have 'scratch & sniff' prints... Pretty cool.



Lenny Kravitz is a fan; he used one of their prints in his home music lounge as seen here. Look at that lucite baby grand!!



And here is the owner giving a tour of the studio in Brooklyn:

0 elle varner

Confession: I've been dancing around my studio by myself to this song for a couple of weeks now. I'm in love with Elle's voice and the song is too cute! The video is a perfect visual for the song; bright colors & fun prints fill the shots from start to finish.




Love the painted bricks on the wall & that IKEA rug!




J.Cole's solo scene starts off with him in front of this great 70's inspired Graham & Brown wallpaper. I recognized it immediately! If you love it, you can purchase it here.


I think we're going to see a lot more of Elle next year!

0 guest post! peaceful bedrooms

Happy Wednesday! Today Susi fromDesign Shuffle is going to give us some tips on how to create a relaxing space to lay your head each night. Enjoy!



Hi, I'm Susi, a writer for Design Shuffle, a wonderful social media site that brings together designers and design lovers from around the world. One of the best parts of being a writer for Design Shuffle is getting to guest blog at design blogs that inspire me, like SingleBubblePop (cute name!).

My guest post today is all about decorating ideas for peaceful bedrooms. We all need a place in our homes where we can shut the door and shut out the world. Our bedrooms can be an oasis from the chaos of everyday life. Is yours? Here are some of my favorite ideas for peaceful bedrooms. Enjoy!



Dark walls in a bedroom will recede at night letting the creams stand out. Deep hues on bedroom walls invite rest and sleepóso peaceful.



A lack of busy patterns and clutter make this minimalist bedroom feel peaceful. Simple design elements stand out for their singular beauty.



Soft colors in a monochromatic palette make for a peaceful room. A beautifully made bed with gorgeous linens and stacks of pillows invites you to relax.



Dreamy gray makes for a cozy bedroom design that is peaceful and stylish. Close the drapes on the canopy bed and close out the rest of the world.



Another beautiful and peaceful monochromatic bedroom. This bedroom shows the importance of layering textures. Love the thick throw for cuddling.



Simple shapes, clean lines and beautiful light make this bedroom feel peaceful. At night the mirror will create lovely reflections of light around the room. So beautiful!



One of the best bedroom design ideas is to use a modern interior design. It can feel peaceful with its clean lines and simple forms. Soft colors mix with grays for a soothing and calm palette in this stylish bedroom.



For a peaceful bedroom, select colors that soothe like pale blues, soft purples and light greens. You can add a few pops of a pattern you'd love to see every morning. Make sure to surround yourself with things of beauty that inspire you. [ Images 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 ]

6 rue issue 4

Whoa! This issue of Rue Magazine is all over the place, and I love it! They have features from Manhattan to the desert. The design styles range from tradionial with a twist and eco-friendly DIY projects. There's something for everybody.

Here are some of my favorite pages:


I love this color pallete - and I'm dying for one of those mint green Eames chairs!


I loved this page for obvious reasons, and the interviews were cute too! ;)


The simply styling here paired with that DIY wallpaper is really beautiful. Graham & Brown has a similar style for less that $50 a roll!


This huge photo collage frame jumped out at me! I love the idea of taking something common and making it special by increasing it's size.


Closet heaven!!


And lastly, I loved this primarily traditional dining room with a little bang! in the background.


If I copied all of the pages I loved, I'd be stealing the entire magazine. Go check out the rest! www.ruemag.com
