My Torrid Affair

My heart skips a beat, I'm breathless, my legs are shaky. I have all the symptoms. I freely admit it.

I am in love with Autumn!

I had a meeting free, appointment free, deadline free morning and I hiked up Bear Creek trail. Ahhhh

This blog is all about inspiration and the colors this morning were RIDICULOUS! Talk about a carpet of leaves...

This rug, although a bit tropical, represents the beautiful contrasting colors. the deep red earth, the lime of fading summer and the gold of aspen. Stunning.

Love this one! Muy Romantica! It's called Nirvana. It comes in all sorts of great sizes.

For the modern palette I found this at Shaver Ramsey. The top two are from Shaver Ramsey as well. They have a showroom in Denver.

I wanted to lie down this morning, right on the trail and cover my self in all the fall glory-sort-of.

Then I just started imaging different paint color combinations. Any of these rugs would make a fine starting place for a whole room color scheme. MMMmmm.

Branching Out

The wall sticker below and to the on the right are from a great company called Dvider- yes, I spelled that correctly. It's a fun sight. When you roll your mouse over the color pallet the image you have chosen changes color.

Urban Outfitters- who knew they had such great home decor. The last time I checked it was hippie-chic college dorm paraphernalia.

My friend Craig might say, "What's wrong with that?" and I would respond, "Nothing, now get a haircut." I didn't think I was allowed to shop there after I turned thirty- he actually told me as much....but if I'm 29 in my heart who cares...right?

Back to design-

I have been looking everywhere for wall murals, gigantic stickers and now stencils- all for the new office! The apartment seen in this shot looks a bit drab but in picturing it on my walls...I can't help but get a little giddy.....

Office update:

There was an ugly old oak cabinet in the office. It must have been installed by the former tenant-purely for storage. The aesthetic relevancy was less than zero. Anywhoooo. ..I painted it with a coat of Rust-Oleum Bright Coat Metallic Finish. I must say, it does look good. The effect is like an aged silver mirror. Pics to come when it is complete.
