Happy Holidays & a Wonderful New Year!

I am leaving for the Cayman Islands tomorrow with my whole brood - cannot wait!  See you in 2012!

In the meantime, I want to leave you with some (completely random) pretty pics...

Union Jack Round Two...

Back in March I posted about the Union Jack and how it seems to be a new trend in interior design.  Apparently this trend has not died down because almost a year later I am still seeing the British flag popping up everywhere... and I am still loving it.

Are you diggin it?

Enter...

An often neglected piece of residential design is the interior door. Typically, homeowners paint their doors whatever white they choose for their moldings and call it a day. I admit that I am one of those typical people.

However, lately, I have been playing with the idea of painting both my moldings and my interior doors an actual color. The color I am thinking is grey (which I often tell my clients isn't really a true color but I don't think I am daring enough to do something as bright and funky as some of the images below). Although I do envy those that are that bold...

What do you think?
