GOOD MORNING SUNSHINE...

Good morning lovelies!! The sun hasn't quite come up yet, but we're working away on putting the finishing touches of Rue Issue #6...

We hope you love every little piece of it. I personally think these might be the best homes we've featured yet. And some pretty darn good shopping too. Coming soon...

ROOM OF THE WEEK 5.19

I thought it only appropriate that today's Room of the Week be punctuated with vibrant yellow on such a sunny day...

I have a feeling this is going to be a love it or hate it for most of you! While I'll fully admit that I don't find the space relaxing (or functional) enough for my personal bath, it would be fantastic in a larger home where you can get playful with all those spare rooms floating around. Or a hotel, for that matter. But that's the point of this series, right? Incredible designs that make you go 'wow', and this one sure did it for me.

The yellow sink was the icing on the cake - it looks like the paint is dripping from the ceiling and wall right down the drain. The triple mirrors was an interesting choice. I think I would have just continued the wrap around mirror that's above the bath on one side, and left the right side empty (or maybe some very sleek floating shelving?)

Soooo - love it? Or hate it? Either way, it is quite the room!

FRESHLY SQUEEZED

I don't think I've been getting the recommended daily dose of fruit lately...

In my home or my wardrobe. Obviously it's time to stock up on some oranges, grapefruits, lemons, kumquats, tangerines...

FROM FANTASY TO FÊTE: CITRUS BRUNCH

Camille Styles here, with bits of inspiration for a citrusy spring brunch! In honor of the lovely forecast, I'm planning to start the weekend early with a relaxed get-together full of zingy citrus flavors. Our mood board in shades of lemon + cream takes a similarly carefree attitude...Lemon-Yellow-InspirationBoard-CamilleStyles-cocokelley
 Don a flowy goddess dress and set a table on the lawn with cheerful ranunculus & laid-back succulents. Spend an afternoon nibbling on bundt cake & sipping cappuccinos with a gaggle of girlfriends, soaking up the first blissfully sunny day of the year.

Blend a batch of
limoncello champagne cocktails, and garnish with sprigs of fresh mint for a bright and bubbly way to toast the season.

Monochromatic bunches of yellow tulips, gerbera daisies and daffodils are so sunny; stark white vases keep the look thoroughly modern.
Asparagus-SpringBrunchRecipes
Serve foods in keeping with the color palette for a table that's as visually appealing as it is delicious. An asparagus tart with prosciutto pairs and a spring vegetable frittata are a snap to prepare, and make perfect brunch-y nibbles.
MeyerLemonTart-SpringBrunchRecipes
Finish off the feast with this stunning
meyer lemon pastry; a true celebration of citrus! Set it on a cutting board right on the table so guests can help themselves along with a pretty bottle of sweet dessert wine. But be forewarned; this party just might flow right into dinnertime...

ALLOW ME TO DEMONSTRATE...

Yesterday I mentioned how mustard yellows and teal greens were heading to the top of the color list for 2011...

Well I just so happened to stumble across this home that perfectly pairs the two together in a very cozy but modern bedroom (whose gorgeous chiffon-esque drapes have me drooling...)

I love the addition of stronger neutrals to the color scheme and how the wood tones pick up that mustard yellow too. The use of white keeps the saturated jewel tones from feeling too heavy - a good way to keep the colors moving forward into spring! But for now... how fabulous are they for winter too?

They even brought the color scheme into the living room with a pop of mustard against that dramatic rich green sofa! Love!

CITRON (AND ON, AND ON...)

So, I know I've blogged about my love for citron yellow a couple of times now, but just because fall has arrived doesn't mean my color obsession has been put to rest.

Chris Benz is hands down one of my favorite designers for his use of color (have you seen his Spring collection yet? amazing.), so I often return to his shows for a little inspiration, and sure enough he delivered just what I was looking for...

Feminine charm, big hair and a punch of color on nude neutrals (from his last resort collection). Chris always makes a big statement, but keeps it refined and beautiful at the same time, just like these interiors. I think it's a palette that can easily work into any season, but I especially love it for fall with a warm bronze + browns.

While I was looking, I ran into these beauties too...
citron+black
Which had me thinking... with this addition of a super contrasting black, wouldn't this make a fantastic alternative palette for Halloween? I think so!

ROOM OF THE WEEK 9.16

Sunny, fresh, eclectic and just the right dose of classic femininity...
dOrnano-interior-decorating-ideas-ED0410-06
I've adored this interior shot since first setting eyes on it. There's a certain amount of quirk (the unexpected midcentury lamp and wire dog art piece that show off the owner's personality) combined with cheery but refined color on traditional pieces like the dining chairs and chesterfield sofa. The art pieces are divine and so are those huge windows! I also really love the soft grey walls and the way they bring a sense of calm to a space where it could feel like there's a lot going on. Most importantly, I could absolutely see my self living in this room... could you?
