Interior Designer Kathleen DiPaolo

While playing on Pinterest, I started noticing a name that kept popping up.  It seemed that a user named Kathleen DiPaolo and I had remarkably similar taste.  We were pinning lots of the same images.  I knew I recognized her name, so I went through my list of customers on Etsy and found her.  I looked more closely at her boards and realized that she's an interior designer in California.  I was excited to have these lovely images to share with you and know about a new (to me) and talented designer.  

All of the above images are from her website.

Be sure to check out her gorgeous boards on Pinterest.  I'm showcasing two of them below.  The first is a photo from her board "Girls Rooms" and was pinned via VT Interiors.

The second is from "Dining" and was pinned via House Of Fifty.

Blue and White Monday High or Low Contrast?

D Home

Happy Monday!  I've noticed as I put my blue and white posts together that I consistently choose images that have high contrast.  I love a crisp look.  With the prints that I create, that shouldn't come as a surprise.  Looking around, I know that lots of people enjoy the lower contrast rooms like the one in the photo below.  The photos I'm featuring today, with the exception of the one below, show the bolder, crisp look I love.  Obviously, neither look is better; it's just a matter of person taste.  Do you like both, or prefer one to the other?

Pink and Pretty from Carolyne Roehm

I hope you're having a lovely Sunday.  I was enjoying coffee and Pinterest this morning and came across such beautiful pink florals.  I thought they'd be perfect Sunday inspiration.  These are all from Carolyne Roehm.  Enjoy!
