Singing the Blues
India
I've been stalking the Linens 'n Things website for weeks to make sure I don't miss out on their going out of business deals. As I browsed the quilt section, I noticed a color trend - blue and brown. Blue and brown are a classic color duo that's always in style. .....click here to read full post

That Warm and Cozy Feeling...
India
Fall is my favorite season. Crisp air, snuggly blankets, and hot chocolate. It's the perfect time of year.
Autumn is pretty much over now, but it's never too late to enjoy what's left of the season. My fall inspiration comes from Pottery Barn's Thanksgiving collection. How inviting! .....click here to read full post

Teal Sophistication
India
What's this year's hottest color? Teal. It's a color often described as serious, intense, fresh, and soothing, yet no matter how it's used, it always manages to maintain its sophistication. For a lux effect, add a glam chandelier, black gloss finishes, and a few touches of gold/silver - or - add rich jewel tones for warmth and comfort. .....click here to read full post

Right on Target
India
I have a confession to make. I, India, am in love with a floral rug. That's right. A rug with a flower pattern.
For those who don't know me, I'm not a girlie girl, I'm more of a flirty tomboy. Yes, I love shopping and shoes and chocolate as much as the next female, but I also love building and watching college football. .....click here to read full post

Mid-Century Design & Retro Modern Rugs
India
If you read my personal blog, Apartment 528, you know I'm a fan of all things retro. The mid-century period (1950-70) was a time of change, the height of American pop culture, and the dawn of great design - much of which was Scandinavian. New "modern" homes were built for happy young couples while stores filled with the likes of Eames, Saarinen, and Jacobsen. .....click here to read full post
