classic color combination: blue and white

Blue and white is such a classic color combination. It's completely timeless. Personally, I love when things we consider very classic get jazzed up with bold patterns. Here are a few shots of blue and white textiles - images that I think are beautiful and are great examples of "more is more". No minimalism here. :-)

color therapy: all things bright and beautiful

I love all things bright and beautiful, and today I'm particularly in the mood for bright, bold colors and patterns. I've put together a few images that I found on Pinterest, and I think these are gorgeous in their own ways -- from floral to contemporary to textiles.

How can these not wake you up?!

things i love: patterns & prints

Though I do appreciate the clean lines and simplicity of minimalism, my aesthetic towards the eclectic, incorporating traditional lines, cheerful colors, and many "ethnic" patterns. Here are a few patterns and designs that have recently captured my eye.

patterns perfected, part 3

Continuing with the theme of how the Ottomans and the Turks seem to have perfected the use of patterns, I've put together a handful of photos from my recent trip to Turkey.
