The Powerhouse Combo ( Black and White ) Part 2

So as promised, a spin off from the Power house Black and white post, http://pushinteriors.blogspot.ca/2012/08/the-powerhouse-combo-black-and-white.html  A look at some of the small ways of bringing in this classic combo to your home.

For any style you may just want to try,  a little decor fun without the commitment, accessories are a great way to go. They are often small and light weight, this of course a good thing, they are super easy for replacement or relocation.

Been on the West Elm http://www.westelm.com/ site lately? The Black and white combo certainly did not miss their accessories collection, and I must say a it has been done so well. Fresh and bold in overall feel these accessories make  great additions to any space in need of a little design lift.

 Zigzag Zoning






Not only do these looks provide a vibe of vibrancy, they also allow your eyes to dance the right beat.

Waves of Zebra
 



What I think is most wonderful about the zebra pattern is just how calming the look can be,  yet can be one of the most playful design features to use in a room.

Small Wonders of beauty



A little touch of nature is reflected through African wire art. These birds done black and white beads are not only pretty to look at, they are the end results of handmade. http://www.westelm.com/products/beaded-birds-d055/?pkey=cdecorative-objects

 

Sometimes all we need is a little bit of something good to keep our interest!

Thanks again for stopping by!

Sunday Best to you!

The Powerhouse Combo ( Black and White )

When I look at where my evolving style has taken me, I begin to see all the things that remain and those that have found new appeal. For me one of the things that has not changed and one I just can't see ever doing so, is my love of the combo, Black and White. I have, and will again share with you just how very impactful the pairr really are,  in both fashion and in interior spaces. The beauty behind black and white is, it can be kept classic, or ultra contemporary. Add a splash of colour and create eye popping design desires.

The classics with a twist

Creative Soul Fridays ( Branching Out )

Sometimes the best things in life truly are free. Tree branches can be found just about anywhere, yet have the power to create some of the most unique looks within a space. Whether they are displayed in their most natural state or decorated to create a desired look, the feel is always so organic. I have seen branches used in some really fun ways and I could not help but to add these looks to the list of creative soul accomplishments by designers seeing beyond the natural.



Branches of Drama- I mean really, how great is this look! Thick white branches against this bright red and the fun rug below, just incredible!



Commanding Presence- These perfectly positioned branches take center stage, giving the room even more height and an airy feel. Absolute visual delight!





Branch Hangings- Little cards filled with words held by clothes pins or strings, give this display of branch use endless creative purpose. The look could easily be pulled off with small photos or whatever else comes to mind.



Branching Side Table- So I just love this! This states an all new meaning to the words "bringing the outdoors in". These tall beauties of nature are the perfect match to the rug and head board.



Twigs of Light- Taking center stage above this table these twigs have been used to create a chandelier of natural beauty.

Falling for Dior

What can I say, Dior does it to me every time. Once again bringing elegance that  meets the fashion lovers heart with the gentle of touch. It is the combination of soft paired with structured cuts I find so design perfect.











With a season of so many design takes, I am all over the these looks from Dior. I could see any these styles being re-worked,  and added to a few more fall seasons aheads. In other words, major keepers.

Keep is styled all day and have a wonderful Thursday!

Thanks for stopping by!

YES- Your Embraced Self

Isn't it time you say Yes, Isn't it time you give yourself the right to embrace the individual that truly lives within.  The fearless yes is not always easy to own. However,  is paramount in creating true grounds for a life lived authentically.

Yes to where you are now

Say yes to where you are in life, knowing it is the place refelective of where you are coming from and the stepping stone to where you are going. I like to think of this as being in the waiting room of your dreams.



Yes to Change

Change is sometimes one of the hardest things to do, but sometimes the best thing you could have ever done. Let positive change happen for you by opening yourself up to it. Let Change is representation of a new direction away from paths going nowhere.



Yes to your Gifts and Talents

Say yes to your creative call and give to it all the attention needed to grow. See your your talents and gifts from pure eyes, see them for all  theyoffer. It is not to be a focus of comparison, rather the owning of your uniqueness.

Your Embraced Self- comes from, embracing where you are now, your change ahead, and owning your gifts and talents.

Let the best part of you, comes from a place of YES and brgin to feel Your Embraced Success.

Sunshine and Rain

Ever been out in the rain and able to catch the view of the sun trying to makes it way through all the dark clouds and rain? Well lucky for me, yesterday I able to capture such a vision. It is truly a beautiful thing to see. I was quickly reminded of the ups and downs in life. One minute it seems like we can't see our way around in the world,  then suddenly a ray of hope finds in way into your life and changes everything.




Sunshine and Rain, is what I like to call the colour combo of Yellowand Grey. With the brights of the yellow against the muted tones of grey this combo is is full of design impact.

Putting Design into Neutral

Again I can`t say it enough, some things will always be lovely. They may change slightly over time in celebration of evolving styles.With all of its warm charm neutrals begin to do just that. Holding its place among the vibrant reds, cobalt, and deepest of purple, neutrals- with beige as its lead , takes on a fresh new look. Now paired with clean lines, rich finishes and tons of texture, interiors get a look of pure style and grace.

Be inspired by its calming effects

 

Textured Touches
 
Rich Finishes


Clean Lines

This time around  things are looking bright for the neutral comeback. The best thing about design style revivals is looking forward to seeing just what new features will be added to give them their new look.
