global design inspiration: using nature in Prague
You probably know by now that I love bringing things inside from the great outdoors to design and decorate with. So this design from A1 Architects in Prague made me swoon. Like their website says, "the secret of architecture lies in naturalness."

add natural elements to warm up your home
Some of us are just beginning our long stint of cold winter weather and spending more time indoors. Bringing natural elements inside will add a fresh feeling that will help you make it to Spring. Well, that and chocolate. And that Hawaii 5-0 guy.

There are so many great pendant lighting choices today for hanging over an island, table or sink. Look through vintage shops and online sources to find interesting and inexpensive lighting that will make you feel like you've remodelled, without the mess. Here are some great examples.

refreshed holiday colour palette
I love blues and grays, and much of my home reflects that. But I still love the traditional greens and reds of Christmas, so I decided to create a refreshing colour palette for the holidays this year that incorporated all of these hues.
Starting with a colour palette really helps you to focus on sticking with those colours and not getting too many others into the design, which can make a room seem busy.

room of the week
OK, this is two rooms, but I couldn't choose one since they are both amazing! These are from French interior designer Isabelle Heureux, who believes in mixing materials and in designing according to Feng Shui principles. Look at the reuse of materials in the kitchen cabinets and island. The raw floors, walls and ceilings are amazing (not to mention cost-efficient) and lighting and furniture is kept simple. And I love the way the sofas are placed for great conversation.
