Full moon tonight. It’s a good time to let go….

I release the need for those things in life
that are not serving my purpose or higher self.
I am not afraid to let go.
In their place I receive love, joy and abundance.

French design collective PETITE FRITURE was included in the July/August 2014 issue of Elle Decor’s What’s Hot feature, and what else could I say but ooohh la la.
Ooohh la la.
Established in 2009, Petite Friture’s main focus is to promote promising young designers, and “develop with them a catalogue of objects, lighting and small furniture that creates a vibration.” Their team of talents’ expertise include interior design, product design and art direction.
Their latest project was designing power-coated steel indoor and outdoor furniture in fun, playful shapes. The results? Cool. Brilliant. Simple, but looks uber-fun.

The color purple has always been synonymous with luxury, femininity and royalty…
Painting a room purple may be a suggestion most people would question, but pale purple, or lavender, is a neutral color that is a necessity for any glamorous home. The hue is almost gray that it compliments any type of interior.
Lavender color is versatile and depending on how it’s used, it can bring a romantic, calming, modern or eccentric feel to a room.
The color is also subdued, which makes it easier to coordinate with almost any type of fabric. And for the same reason, it lavender paint makes the perfect backdrop for wall art.
SOME TIPS:
*For a “wow” moment, choose glossy lavender paint in an entryway.
*The bedroom is the best place to use lavender as it is soothing and almost lulls you to sleep!
*Avoid using lavender in a kitchen or bathroom as it is the type of color that needs to be complemented with other patterns, textures and hues.
*Gray with lavender is a chic and glamorous combination, while browns add warmth, and green add a little bit of romance.

When buying a new sofa, it is always a matter of choosing the perfect fabrication. The question “fabric or leather?” needs to be carefully considered as there are many differences, advantages and disadvantages of the two.
It also always help to inquire about stain protection plans and/or warranty that might be included in your sofa. If you are buying an expensive set, it’s worth considering these services as they help keep your pieces in showroom condition, extending the life of your upholstery.

Light-colored woods have been considered outdated in the furnishing industry for years!
It’s about time that the world of furniture is finally taking a breathe of fresh air as 2014 will see a shift from darker wood to “honey-tone woods” such as pine, chestnut, oak and cherry.
There are various advantages of light colored wood.
Firstly, smaller spaces benefit from lighter shades because it helps promote an open, spacious feel. The light hue also mixes well with clean, white walls. Additionally, it also works well with other colors since the natural color of wood when combined with subtle colors, gives a calm and inviting atmosphere.
