A view from my window - Yellow and Gray

Inspiration can come from just about anywhere, even a yellow warbler! This picture was taken by my dad on a recent trip to the Galapagos Islands!
The yellow and gray color scheme seems to be everywhere these days, perhaps because it is such a nice mix of an interesting neutral (gray) with a bright pop of color (yellow) and can work in just about any design style. 

Here are a few yellow and gray rooms inspired by this amazing picture of the yellow warbler.










Have a great weekend!

A client's guest room

A client asked me to spruce up her guest room. In her words, her room is a hodge-podge of things, and wants it to look fresh and put together.

Here is an idea "mood" board I put together for her:























My starting off point was using the color navy blue, which was inspired by the deep blue color of the ocean that can been seen looking out the windows of this room and then I added a little citrine and turquoise to provide that fresh feel my client wants. I also wanted to have contrast in the room, white with navy blue, and natural with shiny gold/brass items, both of which give a nod to the ocean/beachy theme without being too literal. In addition, I wanted the main elements of the room, like wall color, bed, and night stands, to be neutral, so that if she ever wants a different look, she could change the accent items, like the decorative pillows and blanket, for a quick, relatively inexpensive fix.
