Beauty is all around us whether we see it or not. If we are too consumed with thinking about past events or future endeavors, our ability to recognize beauty is diminished. Most of us too preoccupied to notice would walk past a wall busy with peeling paint, but a quiet mind focused on the present moment would notice the subtle shades of color aged by the elements. Inspiration for a color palette can be found in the most unlikely of places. Cultivate a quiet mind rooted in the present and wait for inspiration to unfold.

Breathing life into an interior is a journey into ourselves. It is an opportunity to explore what motivates and drives us. Creating an interior is a chance to become conscious of our intentions.

Modern with traditional. Casual with formal. Rustic with sleek. Putting opposites together can really work by using color and clean lines to bring the look together. A Murano glass bowl nestled with a pair of antlers is a surprising mix. The combination works, because each piece on its own blends with the rest of the interior in color and form. Be brave and explore the world of juxtaposition. You won’t be disappointed.
