blue wood floors? yes please!

in my last update on my yosi samra project i mentioned there is a lot of black and white going into the design. well the CFO really wanted color in his office (you know i loved hearing that!) and he wanted it to be the color blue! so i had some fun creating some blue design details!

check out some of the iphone pics i snapped.

brave clients are the best!

can't wait to see this room finished! those blue floors make me giddy.

adore color: a blue moment

happy huesday color lovers!
yesterday i was feeling a tad bit blue and i know it's because i cooped myself up in my apartment all day resting in bed! i've been traveling a lot lately and getting little sleep which is why i think i am getting sick.
so i think blue is appropriate for today's color post.

color in the kitchen: 9 colorful kitchen cabinets

happy huesday color lovers!

colorful kitchen cabinets are bold and daring...

(i myself would need a push adding color into my kitchen through my cabinets)

but after looking at these 9 colorful kitchens i'm thinking i'd love to have have one of my own some day...the big question would be which color?

these powder blue kitchen cabinets are great for those who want color

but are terrified of it being over whelming...this color combo seems

very soft. image via

if you want something bold and bright these lime green kitchen cabinets
are the way to go! how beautiful does this kitchen look with that green lush view outside?
image via

another green kitchen- this shade of green isn't as bold but it does
have a fabulous retro vibe going on. image via

maybe you don't want all your kitchen cabinets a color...
so spice up your island (if you have one, if you do lucky you!)
like this orange one here mixed with grey cabinets. image via

a traditional kitchen mixed with gorgeous turquoise!
do you dare? image via

another mild over wild mint cabinets are the way to go! they look great
next to red brick and really spice up the cottage style kitchen. image via

i like the idea of just adding color to the base cabinets like these
yellow ones above! image via

another kitchen with yellow base cabinets- i like it mixed
with the white upper cabinets- this i could try! image via

if you can't make up your mind on a color go wild and try a
rainbow kitchen cabinets like the one above! image via




i love some color in the kitchen!!
happy tuesday!

two rooms that pop with electric blue

sometimes all it takes to make a room go from blah to bravo is

a pop of color.

 this parisian apartment gets how to use a pop of color!

without this paint detail inside the white walls it would 

for sure be on the blah side. image via

i wish i could run away with that blue velvet sofa!
this dark and moody space needed a pop of color and this
blue wall cabinet and sofa do the trick! image via

adore color: lime

happy huesday color lovers!

excited to share with you a color that i adore...

L  I  M  E

urban life living in nyc means riding buses, i wish our buses looked more like this pink double decker!

when giving directions wouldn't it be so much easier if you could say " i'm the pink house on the left, you can't miss it" i could never have a bubble gum pink house but it is fun to look at! via
