Color Rhythm To the Rescue!

Have you ever purchased a piece of upholstered furniture and placed it into a room and it seemed lost? This happened to a friend of mine.  She had a beautiful oriental rug on the floor of her living room which had reds, blues, greens, and tans in it.  She needed a chair and went out and purchased an upholstered chair in a red fabric thinking it would look magnificent in this room.  She asked me to come to her home and showed me the chair and said, "I love the chair but it doesn't look right in this room.  What's wrong?" 

I looked around the room and had to agree that the chair looked lost.  What my friend needed to do to incorporate the chair into the room was to add more touches of red as an accent color randomly throughout the room without overpowering it.  By doing so the chair easily became part of the room as there now was a sense of balance and harmony. Try this if you have something of color which you want to blend into a room. Take one of the colors in a piece of fabric, art work, or a rug and use it as your primary accent color.  Use accent pieces in this color and intersperse them throughout the room.  You'll be amazed at the effect you have created.  Take a look at the following pictures from House Beautiful, Better Homes and Gardens, and Coastal Living which depict color rhythm.

Good rhythming of the yellow

I think this yellow overpowers!

Bañera especial para niños

A veces muchos de nosostros no disponemos en casa de una bañera, sino que tenemos un espacio solo para la ducha. La cosa es muy complicada en esos casos cuando llegan los niños, ya que es mucho más incómodo para bañarles que la bañera.

Por eso me ha encantado la idea de Biba, una bañera portátil que se puede adquirir en la tienda on-line de Urbanbaby. La idea es poderla colocar en cualquier lugar, en cualquier momento ya que resulta muy ligera y es fácilmente transportable y allí bañar a nuestros pequeños.

Está pensada para usarla tanto como piscina en el exterior, como bañera en el interior. Se puede colocar en la ducha, en un lateral y abrirla cuando la necesitemos. Pudiendo compaginar así, sin ningún problema, la ducha y la bañera.

Biba está fabricada de PUL (un material impermeable y respetuoso con el medio ambiente) y acero inoxidable, lo que hace que sea muy ligera y que además permita que no haya alteraciones cuando se encuentren en el exterior.

Está disponible en varios colores y tamaños, en función de lo que varía su precio, que puede ir de los 119 a los 149 euros.

Sunshine Award and A Sunny Home

Thank you to Sarah at Real Estate Style for awarding me the Sunshine Award recently. It made my day!

I'm supposed to pass the award on to 12 other blogs whose positivity & creativity inspire others in the blog world. Since there are so many awesome bloggers out there who do just that, it's really too hard to choose just 12. Therefore, I'm passing the award on to all of you. I'm constantly amazed at the creativity out there and it definitely adds sunshine to my day. Feel free to pass it on and spread the sunshine. :-)

A post talking about sunshine seemed the perfect place to share this home by designer Kathryn Chaplow (Photographer James Yochum) that was featured in the January/February 2008 issue of Home magazine (pointclickhome.com). I love her creative use of color. Makes me happy just looking at it. You can see the rest of the home here.

Giveaway tomorrow! Have a good day...

Stone Crabs For Andi

The pink dot on the right

 is where I come from. Boca Raton, Florida.

The pink dot on the left is where we went to.

Everglades City.

For Andi's birthday her boyfriend flew in from Sweden.

And her father, myself and some other family friends headed over to Everglades City for some stone crabs,conch fritters, soft shell crabs, and key lime pie.

This is where the stone crabs come from for the famous 

'Joe's Stone Crab' on Miami Beach!

We have to drive across the state through this.

Doesn't it look pretty from the air?

On the ground .....

But this is what it really looks like.

If you like weeds , snakes and gators.....

this is your kind of place.

Pythons and gators galore and fighting for turf.

Have you heard about all the 'loonie birds' 

that have let their pythons go free in the Everglades?

Talk about irresponsible....

Well, it is a real mess.

But this is no mess.

This is the gold of Florida.

Our state prize.

Maine has Lobster, and we have stone crabs.

Don't freak out.

But, can you tell me what this is?

I will give you a hint.....it tastes like chicken.

That's my girl!

She loves her stone crabs!!

Not the stuff that 'tastes like chicken.'

I surprised her with a birthday cake.

Okay peeps,

what do you think?

Is he cute?

They met while being counselors at summer camp last year.

They are going back again this summer.

  He is in college in Sweden, and studying law.

I like that.

*But let me get back to where we were......

FLORIDA'S LAST FRONTIER "EVERGLADES CITY and CHOKOLOSKEE, at the entrance to the Western Everglades, were two frontier outposts until 1923 when Barron Collier made Everglades City the seat of Collier County and supply depot for the construction of the Tamiami Trail. Prior to the boom, this isolated region was Florida's last outpost for fur trappers, plumage hunters, Cuban fishermen, and people with a disdain for modern civilization."

There is all kinds of history about this area. 

Great stories.

The towns people actually killed the town bully.

The people that were 'wanted by the law' could safely live here. 

It took law enforcement about 2 days to get out here.

A real city of outlaws in a lawless environment.

The man in the black and white picture....

this is a wax model of him

Note the fly swatter.

This place is uninhabitable from the spring months to fall.

There are mosquito's, nats , 'no-see-ums' (these are really bad), 

I just don't know how they did it for an entire lifetime.

I had enough of the glades in this short visit.

I love nature, but not 'Everglades' nature.

To me is it scary.

Imagine being lost out there.

*Snakes, gators, panthers, and yes, we have panthers.

We took a few last pictures and packed up and headed home.

Hope you enjoyed our day trip.

Would you 

drive through the everglades for stone crabs ?

After last week we presented a Bedroom Designs and Room Ideas for Modern Teens today here is another inspirational post with bedroom ideas. Today theme is modern and minimalist bedrooms. This look usually has a mixture of simple furniture and those out-of-this-world artistically designed pieces. In modern bedrooms, the bed is usually the one that stands out. The modern style usually makes of platform beds. This kind of bed is the newest rage in bedroom design. The minimalist approach to bedroom interior design is all about clearing the clutter and reducing the elements of bedroom down to the bare essentials whilst at the same time retaining an aesthetically pleasing appearance in a room.
