LYNN MORGAN DESIGN

I’m loving this style right now. The style is kind of “nautical”, but not quite. The colors and textures are there, but none of the typical nautical motifs. Here’s a few of my favorite rooms designed in similar style; but first:

Bedding Crush: Ralph Lauren’s Indigo Modern, ON SALE!

I’ve been smitten with this bedding ever since I spotted it in an ad in Lonny a good while ago. It’s designed by Ralph Lauren, who took the tie dye to the next level and named it Indigo Modern. Best of all: It’s on sale at Dillards!

The color combination of white and navy blue is stunning. Looks clean and remind me of summer, tropical hotels and sailboats.

The collection has a lot of gorgeous patterns and textures to choose from, so the final result is up to you!

Beautiful blue herringbone fabric. I’m pretty sure that’s actually a chevron pattern, but if the people at Ralph Lauren calls it herringbone, I certainly won’t argue.

These tie dyed pieces are my favorite, I love it combined with the blue “herringbone” print.

So what do you think about this color combination? Is it something you could live with, or would the contrast be too stark?

Have you noticed the tie-dye trend lately? It’s everywhere from dresses, bikinis, shirts and pants, so it’s no surprise it has made it’s way into the world of decor as well.  Here’s the teen room version of the current tie-dye trend. It’s bright and colorful, in other words perfect for summer!

Same bedding in a different setting. I love how the color burst brings all the attention to the bed. Bedding above is available at JCPenny.

*

Here’s Pottery Barn Teen‘s version of the tie-dye teen bedding. I love the fresh color palette and the coastal elements in this room.

*

This tie-dyed bedding comes in two color options, both of which are bright and happy colors!

*

Of course tie-dye isn’t just for girls. Here are two options for the teen boy’s bedroom, available at Pottery Barn Teen.

*

Love the contrast between the solid and patterned areas of this bedding. Also available at Pottery Barn Teen.

*

This fresh green tie-dye pillow from dELIAs is so hypnotizing, and I LOVE it!

*

I’ve always been fascinated with tie-dye, it must be the pattern. I’d love to know what you think of tie-dye, so please leave your vote below =)

I’m Loving: Angela Moralevitz Coastal art

November 19, 2010 in ART, Coastal, Summer

With the holiday season on our doorstep I’m  taking this opportunity to feature some gorgeous coastal photographies by Angela Moralewitz of Bugaboo Studios:

*

What I love about Angela’s photos is her amazing attention to texture and shadows. Isn’t this a stunning picture?

*

Just beautiful. Reminds me of a dog sleeping on a soft carpet for some reason. Very serene.

*

I can imagine this coral closeup as a huge photo above my sofa. I want this!!

*

Just another beauty resting on a piece of driftwood.

*

I love the vignette Angela created around this beautiful starfish photo.

Hope you enjoyed this last bit of summer :)
