Finds: Monochromes + Mint

March 7, 2013March 6, 20131 Comment

Perhaps it’s the recent snow dump that’s rubbing off on me – but I have been so drawn to monochromatic color schemes of late. I’ve found myself pinning and hearting things that are black, white and grey for weeks! Thank goodness spring is on the horizon – and as it nears – I’m hoping more pops of color will creep into my creative landscape.

Finds: Grey & Gold

Sometimes all it takes is a special color combo to stir my creativity – and grey and gold is giving me quite the inspiration boost! I love the way the monotony of the first counteracts the cheeriness of yellow hues. Whether in my home or in my designs, this is by far my favorite combo of the season.
