I did a Luxe Lusting post a few weeks ago and was very happy with it. I might turn into a regular column. What do you think? yes? I'm always torn whether to blog about the home or fashion on that particular day. Believe it or not it is a difficult decision and so this way I get to talk about both. So today we have this beautiful Designer's Guild Amrapali Peony fabric that can't but make you happy with its vibrant color scheme. I was first introduced to Designer's Guild right out of college when I was choosing linens for my first apartment. I wondered into ABC Carpet and Home for the first time and could not believe this place, finally heaven on earth! I chose some white sheets with purple embroidered flowers. Adorable! And guess what if you want to come spend the weekend I will likely make up the guest bed with them. That is right! I still have them and they are like brand new. They go so well in my guest bedroom. They were expensive but boy are they good quality. Sometimes expensive things are less expensive in the long run. And those cute as a button plates are from Vietri in the Amalfi coast. They make the best and most original dishes, wonderful for dining al fresco.

It's official! Valentine's day is less than two weeks away! Have you put in some requests to your loved ones? or do you prefer being surprised? Those beautiful roses in the yummy yellow vase are from our garden from last fall (the light pink peony is not, I wish!). Don't you love photography, immortalizing such a special moments.

As you get to know us you will start to understand our aesthetic. To give you an idea of where I am right now I made this little collage for you. I'm all about COLOR. Anyone that knows me and knows my home can vouch for that.

Doesn't that cake look amazing! So decadent and just plain beautiful. Sorry I don't have the exact source for the COLOR photo (pinterest can be tricky sometimes) but the cute clutch is from Zara. They don't have it anymore. But there is a similar one here.
What kind of color combinations do you like? are you a color gal like me? or do you prefer neutrals? black and white?
