Memorial Day Inspirations

Here are some FABULOUS rooms to inspire you
with RED, WHITE and BLUE in honor of Memorial Day!

Some are nautical, some are patriotic and some are high style...

Let me know your favorite design elements from the pictures below.
Any you would try in your own home?
Post your comments below. Thanks!



I love how they mixed up the rugs and all of the patterns in one large space.


Did you notice the different shades of blue? YES, you can mix it up!

A nautical feel without it being overwhelming. TRUE DESIGN!

Traditional elements with modern details! FABULOUS!
I love the patriotic touches in this room with rustic and traditional pieces.
Did you see the DOG collection?
Remember, one of my design rules, a little touch of whimsy in every room!
Simplify bold patterned wallpaper with simple yet strong accessories!
I have a mirror like the one above but bigger and in white.
