Chartreuse and Gray.

Lately I am seeing more of this color combo popping up.  In moderation, I really like it.   Here are some of my favorite spaces in this palette.
Here’s how to get the look.  While some of these are higher end items, never rule out some of my favorite design tools: HomeGoods, Spray paint and a whole lot of creativity!

O’verlays Giveaway.

Cheryle Rhuda and Danika Herrick were friends who saw a common an overlap in their interior design businesses; a lack on interesting materials to refurbish furniture.  The two have built an empire off of DIYer’s and their desire to champagne quality furniture on a beer budget.  Just look at some of these amazing furniture transformations that were created with O’verlays.

After this post about O’verlays, I had to try them for myself.  Here is the result:

More Anthropologie Ikat Bowl Lookalikes.

I have received so many emails about the green Ikat bowls on the shelf in our kitchen.  They are from Anthropologie, and I am sad to say, that they have been discontinued.  The good news is that I see more and more lookalikes popping up.  

Like these from C. Wonder

Or these from Z. Gallerie.

This one from Jill Rosenwald is gorgeous, but a bit out of my price range.

World Market has a few.

There were a lot of affordable ikat bowls that are now out of stock, but keep your eye out because they may restock.  One of my favorites is this one from Nate Berkus for HSN.

Or these from Anthropologie.

I loved this one on One King’s Lane.  The point is, keep your eyes peeled… something will pop up!
