Sneak Peek : at Jessica's
I love Jessica's work as a typographer and graphic designer. Here are some photos (by Annie Werbler ) from her vermilion (scarlet) home (via Apartment Therapy).
The poster behind her sofa is by calligrapher Seb Lester and can be seen real big on my flickr photostream, right here.
Enjoy the whole house tour!

Daily Poetics
It all started with Fall Colors, Yellow, Red, Orange, Green. All collected by the PoppyTalk blog that I so love.
On the "collecting red" day, I noticed a picture i really liked, it's on the fourth (and bottom) line on this mosaic, the third in the row, when you start looking from the left. And I immediately noticed that said picture was by Flickr member "dailypoetics". I immediately fell for that name.
And what a delight was is to discover that behind "Daily Poetics" stood a very interesting collage artist, Kariann Burleson, and a delightful blog, that I highly recommend?!
Here it is:

We all need a daily dose of poetry!
enjoy!

In The Mood For Dark Wood
Hi,
I'm happy to be back in town! ;-)
I'm glad to discover I'm not the only girl into dark, masculine wood. Check out Nina's apartment on AT! I've always been into dark wook and masculine flair. I believe it derives from my genuine love for Art Deco and the Thirties style, esp. Hollywood's Golden Era! Here are a few examples I stumbled upon last week on the blogosphere:
an amazing collecting of Danish and German vases (unknown source).
Pernille Vest is the stylist for this photo. Check out her amazing portfolio!

Says Heather of decorology:
"Rich warm colors like navy blue, red, golden-tan, and plums offer bright color without being too worrisome of dirt showing through."

and of course, there's my beloved thrifted Art Deco dark brown couch:

PaperCloud Goods
I just love the PaperCloud pendants lamps (see below)! They also have pillows, journals and more. Very Lotta Jansdotter in feel - Nature turned into Art - but beautiful and original in their own right.Their designs are obviously inspired by Nature, and a Nature they respect - their products are Earth-friendly!
Check out their new collection due in late Spring! And in the meantime...
enjoy!

I'm so glad that the "Metropolitan Home of the Year" has nice touches of orange, together with gold and browns in it! This is final proof that orange can be a winner... ;-)
Read full story here. But don't forget your humour or you'll need a splash of red!

More About Orange
image: Jessica Jones logo
Hello!
As I said previously in this blog, I love a neutral palette enhanced by a little orange touch. Why? Because neutral colors help set a modern yet relaxing atmosphere while the red/orange/coral/yellow add inspiration, brighten, enliven, transform and elevate this calm setting. Pow! Just like that.
Orange is a quirky color, so don't overdo it, folks, don't go too wild! In my humble opinion...
Accessories
Here are a few accessories you can add in the orange color to add some wow! effect to your neutral room.
a doormat, a rug
a dog clock
books
oranges... of course!

flowers (esp. dahlias)
a wall or two painted in orange (like in the Apartment therapy book cover above) which is a detail view from this room photographed by Mark Lund :
Let's see... What else? Oh, yes!
an abstract painting (my fave way!) Or possibly a reproduction of a Rothko painting. Plus, orange paintings go well both on white or black walls! see http://sfgirlbybay.blogspot.com/2009/02/ode-to-my-deco-dine-one-one.html
Rooms
I love my orange in the living-room best, but it can a number of other rooms.
Bathroom : use orange towels.
Nursery : toys and furniture in bright orange are non gender specific and can fit a girl or a boy!
Bedroom : use with caution. You want to keep that space relaxing and calm. One pillow will do.

a zesty kitchen (image via decorology)
Kitchen : use a bowl of oranges, of course. Even the most modern and sleek interior needs a little pizzazz in the kitchen.
