Need an Attitude Adjustment? Yellow Might Help.

If you're feeling like the glass is half full, consider adding yellow to your interiors.  Yellow is a joyful, happy color and could help you feel more optimistic.  It's also known to stimulate thinking and benefit digestion.  Look at this inspiring yellow room designed by New York designer John Lyle.

Flower Power!

Olena Zvyagintseva's oil on canvas paired with a tufted bench upholstered in a powerful red velvet caught my eye last night at Tew Gallery.  Talk about flower power!

I love her use of a split-complementary color scheme -- red-orange, green and blue hues painted onto the canvas in bold blocks of color.  Details etched into the paint with the end of a brush contrast with her use of white.

Corky Davis with the gallery told me that Olena gets her inspiration from flowers in her garden and from traditional tapestry fabric from Ukraine.

Consider stopping by the gallery tonight, February 19 for the opening or check it out at www.tewgallery.com.

Bold Color! Fresh Look!

My friends at M2M Designs created a fresh looking Louis XVI reproduction side chair by applying a bold, colorful striped fabric to its hi-gloss painted frame. The colors pop making it a real head turner. Check out the dazzling, silver nail heads around the back and seat.
