As Seen on T.V. - You want my body?

No I haven't lost my mind...I'm not really asking if you want my body, LOL!

Chips ahoy wants to know if you want his body, in this commercial that is just tooo funny...pretty old...but still funny! Anyway as he slides across the floor, trying to impress his lady friend, he is sitting in a chair inspired by the Egg Chair by Arne Jacobson. I've posted this chair many times on my sight but another time can't hurt! Check out the commercial it is too darn funny.

Bring the Spring

Today marked the first day of spring, so that means it's time to spruce up your decor with some spring color!

Pantone has announced the "it" colors of Spring 2008 and although they relate their colors to fashion, I've found home decor from Ikea in all 10 colors. With that many options you're sure to find at least one color you can incorporate to bring in the spring!

Last year I talked about how easy and inexpensive it could be to change a few accessories each season, or even pick your favorite season, and change out things in your decor to renew the look and feel of a space.I also showed some pictures of my "spring update" Ikea is a great place to buy those accessories, they have great prices, fun colors, and they are WORLDWIDE! You can't always have items shipped to you, but check for an Ikea near you, believe me the deals are worth the drive.

The above items can provide a change in your space from something as small as a candle, or as large as a sofa; with prices ranging from $3.99 to $599.99. Check Ikea out and start your spring update!

Sands and Water from East to West

The Sahara desert cover the entire gray area shown to the left...it's almost as big as the United States and bigger than Australia. I've chosen this region to inspire the next color scheme of blue and tan.

From the M'Hamid dunes in Morroco (furthest Northeastern country in Africa) to the only standing ancient "Seven Wonder of the World" the Pyramid of Giza in Egypt (furthest Northwestern country in Africa); the Sahara desert and it's surroundings make for some breathtaking scenes. In some places you can't even tell where the seas stop and the sky begins! While in other places there is desert as far as the eye can see. Watch the sunset over the Sahara and be inspired!

Three's Company

Let's take a look at color schemes combining three colors from the wheel. First off there is the triadic color scheme; using this theory you take 3 colors that are equal distances apart on the color wheel and combine them in the space.

The living room below is so ecelectic, it features the 3 primary colors and I really love it! The room is bold and artistic, it's a melting pot of many styles but it works well; and you gotta love the classic Eames Lounge Chair by Herman Miller featured in the space. I hope you'll forgive me that the blue in the room is not a really a primary colored blue, but I couldn't pass the opportunity to share this space with you.

Below is a bedroom that also borrowed from the color wheel's triadic theory for it's scheme, using primary colors as well.

Finally there is the split-complementary color scheme which takes one color, and the colors on both sides of it's complement.

This cozy little hide away below uses red, yellow-green, and blue-green in it's split complmentary scheme.
