Splash!

To help me get through this heat wave we're having, I thought I'd post this lovely picture:

Love a pool surrounded by grass.  I also have been loving splashes of color lately.  I particularly like the splashes of color used in these pictures from Mrs. Howard's Personal Shopper.  

I like how the sitting (living) room is a bit subdued and sophisticated, but when you see the entryway, the whole entire space changes to fun, funky and fresh.   Initially, when I saw the living room, I liked it, but it was the entryway that sold me.  I love the unexpected entryway furnishings - the green chinoiserie console, the foo dog lamps and the bold glossy white mirror.  It all goes seamlessly well together.  Isn't it amazing how a few pieces can entirely change the look and feel of a space?  I think that is what I love about interior design - the possibilities are endless and by changing up the elements it is possible to create a space that you love.
