  This modern tabletop vignette of pure white and metallic gold is set against bold swaths of color. Isn't orange and pick a great design choice for art in a contemporary or modern space?

  A white living room is amped up with a melon-toned pink and brilliant orange. A traditional light fixture is turned into a modern pendant light with color. Long fringed shawls add a splash of orange to white slip-covered chairs.

  Sometimes we long for just a pop or two of color in a white space. Here, in a tabletop vignette that's done with three books, one each in hot pink, warm sand and bright orange. It's a great look.

  This amazingly colorful eclectic bedroom goes orange and pink with toile wallpaper in a Chinoiserie pattern. It makes for a wonderful background for the lovely mix of styles, patterns and colors in the space.

  A lovely pink hue adorns the walls of this contemporary bath. Pops of orange and melon work beautifully, but it would be so easy to change out the towels for an entirely new color scheme.

  A comfy neutral sectional gets wonderful splashes of pink, orange and golden yellow with a lovely array of decorative pillows.

  A wonderful custom-built white daybed with floral upholstered back is at once chic and comfortable. I love the use of several stylish orange and pink combinationsófloral, stripes and zigzags.

  This girl's bedroom is so pretty in pink and orange. Kids lamps like the one seen here are available right now in lots of popular colors. I love the branches and birds design. It even has a bird finial on top. How cool is the ladybug table?

Home : Hand Painted Walls

Have a room that's lacking that extra "pop"?  Paint it!

Paint is such an inexpensive way to transform a space and add a touch of "wow".  While giving a space a face lift through a change of color is nice, don't be afraid to think outside the box - think geometric patterns, stencils, two toned walls, or even creatively free hand something.  

Accent walls are perfect for large shapes and busy patterns, while two toned walls or faux textures are perfect for entire rooms.

Below are a few fun and creative examples of hand painted masterpieces.  Enjoy!

Decorating With Wooden Pallets

I was out and about running errands yesterday afternoon and while crossing the bridge, I saw a large truck carrying a major load of wooden pallets.  For a solid minute, I debated flagging the man down and asking if he'd like to share his pallets - ha!  Don't worry, I didn't do it....but I was certainly tempted.  I've seen so many cool diy projects consisting of minimal hardware, paint and pallets - so simple!  From bed frames to headboards, coffee tables to book shelves, I'll share a few of my favorites.  Have you done anything with pallets?  If so, I'd love to see/hear about it.  Also, don't forget to enter our giveaway - contest ends Thursday at midnight.  Enjoy!

Wallpaper Love

I used to think of wallpaper as a thing of the past (my first thought was musty, old floral prints from my grandma's dining room), but I've recently fallen in love with these chic patterns.  Let's just say it's come a long way since I was a kid....
