Poppies & Pleasantries

This post was originally posted on I Love, I Need.

My darling college roommate, Jess, asked me to contribute to her wonderful blog – I Love, I Need. I, of course, answered “Yes!” immediately and enthusiastically and here I am!

I’ll be sharing my insights, inspirations and adventures in Interior Design and what ever else may spark my fancy. Most of the time what I share will truly fall under the “I love, I need” mantra and sometimes it may be more like “I loved, I needed, now I have and I want to share!”

I hope you enjoy my take on design and I’m looking forward to contributing to the ever-present rants of what we all want, right now!

This week:
A Color Story: Vibrant Poppy

I’ve never been a huge red fan but I started noticing this fantastic orangey shade last Fall as Spring collections were sprouting and absolutely fell in love!

I paired the bright poppy in the rug and pillows with shades of navy and cobalt and cool grey walls. The combination of warm and cool tones live together harmoniously without feeling overwhelming, or at least I think so!
