Don't we all LOVE color?? I'm sure from visiting my blog it's no secret that I do. I thought of this post to brighten up your weekend and perhaps inspire you to paint a room in your home, a chair, a kitchen cabinet...or even get real creative and try this crazy colorful cake? ha! Have a wonderful & safe weekend everyone.

Sometimes I dream of living in a huge LOFT.... I was sort of lucky enough to live in one when I was in NY, but it was only 700 sq ft. and wasn't in the city....boo hoo!! Anyhow, Andreas Larsson, a photographer originally from Sweden, occupies this minimalist Chicago loft featured below. (Thanks to Loft Life Magazine.) My favorite part of his place are the dark wood floors. To think this place is just a little more than a 1000 sq ft. , doesn't it look so much bigger? You can also see more of Andreas's work via his site. Andreas Larsson Photography.
I just came across a beautiful blog called Marion's heart. I LOVE all the amazingly vivid images she posts onto her pages, especially these of this apartment in Copenhagen, Denmark! The apartment belongs to graphic designer Tobia Mikkelsen & architecture student Hanne Scheel Andersen. This duo also run a blog called 'What We Do". (Images were taken by Tia Borgsmidt). I thought it was smart how they used a mix of IKEA and custom cabinets....good way to keep your costs low. The spark of colorful accessories they placed throughout is also very attractive!
After seeing this lovely print by Isabelle Norman, I couldn't help but think of Dorothy of OZ. I found this image in the latest issue of Living Etc. Magazine & it stopped me in my tracks! I can't say I ever thought I'd see Dorothy looking like this...however, she does look pretty sexy, beer in hand or not! Have you seen this pic yet?
 What do you think of it??
So simple, yet conveys such a direct message....LOVE it!
December is approaching quickly don't you think?? This month is flying by & the Holidays are almost here! I love X'mas time, especially when I used to live in NYC...when it would snow outside. Living in Vegas, I ain't so lucky...but not having snow can have its advantages, obviously. NO more digging my car out from a snow cave! What a pain in the A** that was!
OK...enough snow talk, I found this photo & it reminded me of one of the cards available via my shop. The pink reindeer. I really like to experiment with colors & I think there is too much Green & Red floating around during this time of year, don't you?? 
The reason I chose pink for this particular card was because I wanted it to be be girly, without your typical Holiday colors. Something different, and apparently I'm not the only one from the looks of this photo (above) I found on: Purple Area Blog.  Enjoy! Be back soon with another post!
I LOVE showing off talented photographers on my blog once in awhile. I'm a big fan of Gaelle Le Boulicat's work. She's beautiful, & talented, great qualities....don't you think? She has shot covers for all the major magazines like Elle Decor Italia, Elle Decoration UK, House and Garden UK and many more! Her father gave her a Rolleiflex camera when she was 15 years old and she's been shooting ever since. Visit here site here.

I've seen this home before on other blogs and I adore the hints of COLOR and mix & match colorful fabrics! What would you call this style of decor? Bohemian chic? or something else?? I'm curious... All images via the wonderful location website Light Locations.
