seeing red.

new-red

via reflect / refract & kitschcafe.

there’s nothing quite like a splash of juicy red. alarming, charming and alluring, they all fit as ample descriptions of red. whether it’s pretty painted toenails, and a swish of lipstick, or a pretty party dress, red just stands out in a crowd. i love a room boldly decorated  in splashes of red, or just a subtle hint of it dropped into decor of tailored gray, black & white. there’s just something about red.

flickr favorites.

flickr-faveswell, spring tried very much to ’sprung’ this saturday, but then the rain came in and washed it all away again. oh, wait — that was a spider, right? oh well, nonetheless, spring has not sprung, so i went in search of my very own, via good old flickr favorites. never fails to cheer me up! i love all the bright bits of yellow and turquoise, and happy, vibrant patterns i discovered. i hope you like ‘em too. spring? are you listening?

*to see these images large click here, and then on the individual links.

oh, such antics!

i love the bright and colorful interior and editorial design work of stockholm-based stylist sasa antic. it’s quite gray here in san francisco today, and these images of sasa’s editorial set design and interior styling just cheered me right up. you know me, i’m not too sure i could actually live with all this color, but i could certainly start with those crisp white floors, and try it on for size! take a happy trip with me through some of sasa’s casually chic and stylish interiors.
