Patterned Pastels

I'm not usually one for soft or dull hues, but these perfectly patterned pastel moments have me changing my tune. With such bold and repetitive designs, the warm cream gives your eyes a lovely little break....


I'm currently writing from Denver, Colorado and I have to tell you, I kind of love it here. The mountains are even closer and more exquisite than in Seattle and there is a wonderful outdoorsy vibe that makes me feel at home. We've hit Boulder and Cherry Creek and later this afternoon we'll be hopping on a flight to Aspen to see Free People's new store there too! Did I mention that I am still pinching myself at this amazing job?! Enjoy!

Art + Interiors: The emergence of beauty...

"Old as I am I continue to be amazed at the sudden emergence of daffodils and stories."
- Ernest Hemmingway
I stumbled upon this gorgeous photography by artist Maleah Matthews and I just had to do a post on it. I love the slightly blurred images drenched in sunshine and stillness. They remind me to take a moment to just breath and notice the world around me. As much tragedy and heartbreak there is in the world things continue to bloom, dreams continue to come true, and people continue to love. Check out Maleah's website for more gorgeous works of art. http://www.maleahmatthews.com/

I love the subtle, delicate hues from Maleah's work, these pieces prove there is a way to bring pastels to a space without referencing the baby's room. This well-traveled look with a floral touch is sure to make you feel light and airy the moment you step into the room, enjoy!
