My House Beautiful May Favorites

I just thought I'd share a few yummy morsels from House Beautiful's May issue - there were a handful of bright, happy, spring-time feeling goodies.

click on the image above for a larger view - the fireplace is amazing. I also love the painting above it.

I really wish I was disciplined enough to keep flowers in my apartment all the time. I love fresh flowers.



Jonathon Adler of course! - All those bright colors are so cheerful!


It's a more modern take for kitchen wallpaper - for us who like our veggies but don't want grandma's wallpaper

My dream bathroom

I love the eggplant and aqua swatches - with a tan that would be a favorite trio of mine.

Wallpaper divinity! Which is your fav?

I was so excited when I got a little surprise "e-troduction" in my inbox last week from Elli Popp. Their wallpaper is so luscious. I think my favorite design is Esmeralda's Reverie...but it's so tough to choose!

Oh yes, all orders place before the end of April get 20% off!


Foxy flowers?

Esmeralda's Reverie?

Crazy Ostrich?

Just Around Midnight?

Haiku?

Dede?

Butterfly Valley?

Marlene?

Bebe Palm?

Bebe?

Baroquette?

Most of these patterns come in 3 color options, and you can see those and more patterns at the Elli Popp site.

I'm liking wallpaper more and more these days...

Gorgeous colors I wish I was brave enough to use!

Sorry this is just getting to you! My computer wasn't feeling too well, and had a little accident...*blush* But we're feeling better now. So, some of you know I'm a big fan of the all white interiors. These rooms drive a hard bargain though! They definitely add energy and freshness to the space. Have any of you been braver than me and gone with a bold or bright color in a room?

*gulp* Love this wallpaper with the gold in the next room!

I think gray with yellow or light green is really classy

I should just go for it and use pink already since there's no man inhabiting with me to protest ... ;)

Fear not bold and beautiful color...

The inspiration -- this vivid blue velvet jewelry from Lush Bella
