Color of the Year

January 6, 2016 By Merri Cvetan 1 Comment

Rose Quartz and Serenity! Pretty names, awful colors! Really? Baby blue and baby pink. Who is going to redecorate their home or even a room using one of these two old, dated colors?

Twice a year in Paris, the interior design community is treated to a spectacular show called Maison et Objets. Furniture designers and decorative artists introduce their newest lines. It's an introduction of wonderful things to come! I love the sexy curve of this Otley Sofa from Matthew Hilton from England. How about a few funky acrylic … [Read more...]

DIY Chevron Rug

Spring is here (sort of) and that means summer and warm weather is right around the corner. Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait! In the mean time, I can get my porch ready for entertaining and just sitting around relaxing. I turned a boring, plain old rug into a colorful, one-of-a-kind floor covering for the porch. I'll show you step-by-step … [Read more...]

30 Days of Tips to Re~Style, Redecorate & Refresh Your Home for under $25 ~ Tip 9

Throw pillows add instant color to your living or family room. You can purchase new ones every season or just buy (or make) new covers and reuse the inserts (less expensive). I like to update the ones I already own with accessories from my closet. A purchased orange velour pillow gets a whole new look when a blue scarf is tied around the … [Read more...]

30 Days of Tips to Re~Style, Redecorate & Refresh Your Home for under $25 ~ Day 3

It's almost fall, and who doesn't want to get cozy and snuggle in front of a fire when the temperature drops. A quick make-over from summer to fall is easy.

Move area rugs around for a totally new … [Read more...]
