Red, WHITE, and BLUE...

"I love my freedom.  I love my America."

  + Jessi Lane Adams

 +++

With July 4th creeping our way, nothing screams 

PATRIOTISM like the color scheme RED, WHITE, and blue. 

This BOLD and Bright combo brings a 
CLASSIC AMERICAN feel to any 
INTERIOR!

Personally, it makes me want HOT DOGS 
and SLIP n SLIDES!

+++

 

This CHILD'S room designed by 

ASHLEY Whittaker is a POSH 
take on PATRIOTISM!

EVERY detail from the star print CARPET 

to the AMERICAN flag 
WALLPAPER gets me in the SPIRIT for the fourth!

+++

A great mix of PATTERNS make 

this a more subtle approach to the COLOR palette!

+++

This teen's room has an UPSCALE feel with the Crystal

CHANDELIER

and the non-traditional  
TURQUOISE substituted for BLUE.  

I HEART the BOHO feel!

+++





MIXING different colors 
makes this a  BEACHY and FUN porch!




+++





RED, WHITE, and blue even works in a KITCHEN!




+++

I might be a TINY bit OBSESSED with this PORCH!

+++

 

HUM...OH the IDEAS from this 

FOURTH of JULY inspired tablescape!

+++

Need a July 4th RECIPE....

 

My WAIST line wants me to eat this...

grilled CHICKEN and BERRY Salad!

+++

But my "I don't care if I end up a MILLION pounds, 

this LOOKS Amazing" side...

SAYS DO IT! 

Forth of JULY candy APPLES!

+++

 Happy FOURTH of JULY!

+++

Bye YA'LL!

Color me Happy: Turquoise

"The tones of gray, pale
turquoise and pink will prevail."

+ Christian Dior

+++

This SEASON, I keep seeing TURQUOISE everywhere!

From clothes to INTERIORS.

TURQUOISE is a great way to add a
POP of color to ANY room!

ACCESSORIES, paint, or FURNITURE!

+++

Need I COMMENT?
FLOOR to ceiling AMAZING!

 

+++

The DESK and CHAIR LEGS
are unexpected TURQUOISE!

 

+++

Pink + Turquoise = BEAUTIFUL color combo!

+++

Chartreuse + Turquoise = TO die for STYLE!

 

+++

A little BIT can really SPICE up a KITCHEN!

+++

TURQUOISE ACCESSORIES!

THROW pillows and VASES
can be inexpensive ADDITIONS, so go CRAZY!

YOU can always change them later!

P.S. For you METRO jackson
FOLKS....KALALOU has this same VASE!

+++

This CHAINDELIER makes me HAPPY! :)

 

+++

MAYBE overdone, MAYBE not? 

What do you THINK?

+++

REGARDLESS,
turquoise is my COLOR LOVE for now!

+++

Bye YA'LL!

"Fatherhood is pretending the present
you love most is soap-on-a-rope."  

+ Bill Cosby

 +++

What to get DAD?  

Always the question for FATHER'S DAY.

Party TIME...Outdoor DINNER Party!

+++

"I love entertaining 

and doing Martha Stewart stuff. "

+ Laura Prepon

+++

While it might be a little HOT here in the South, 
nothing screams SOUTHERN 
 more than an outdoor DINNER party for friends and family! 

I'm in the process of planning an EXTRAVAGANT outdoor dinner party 
in my head and 
wanted to SHARE these LOVELY and ELEGANT settings 
with you for you next 
Outdoor FIESTA!  

MY THOUGHT:  
Outdoor Dinner Party's = PICNIC but BETTER!

+++

 

This tablescape is from a 

NEIGHBORHOOD get together 

to CELEBRATE the completion 

of their NEW COMMUNITY GARDEN!

GREAT idea to meet the NEIGHBORS!

+++

 +++

 

  

FAVORITE pass time as a CHILD = sitting on the ground!  

How CLASSY and effortless is this set up?

+++

 

 

+++

 

 Bohemian OUTDOOR Dinner anyone?

+++

  

 END the dinner with a MOVIE night outside?  

TOTALLY RAD!  

I WILL be working out the LOGISTICS 

of this for my backyard!

MIGHT skip dinner and just POP POPCORN! 

+++

HAPPY entertaining!

+++

Bye YA'LL!
