Pinterest your Friday

Hello and welcome to another edition of “Pinterest your Friday”. I am still slowly putting up our Valentine’s Day decorations (hopefully I will have all of them done by end of the weekend) and have been doing lots of small Valentine theme crafts with my little daughter.

 

Since Valentine’s Day is next Thursday I decided to make this a special “Pinterest your Friday” edition. Here are some of my Valentine's Day pins that  you might find inspiring even at the last minute.

2013 Design Trends

I am not sure where time goes these days, but just like anybody else I love hearing about the current design trends. Elle Decor came out with their “Big in 2013” trend report and I wanted to share them with you.

 

Trend #1: Lots of Brass

 

 

Trend #2: Green

 

This one is given since Pantone announced Emerald as their color of the year. You can see more Emerald inspired interiors here.

 

Trend #3: Embellished Walls

 

I am not sure how this is a new trend since most of the design community has been putting beautiful wallpaper on the walls for a very long time. You can see more wallpaper inspired interiors here.

 

Trend #4: Lace

 

Lace is delicate and can make any interior feel feminine and soft. Do you remember Kate Middleton’s dress? You can see more lace inspired interiors here.

 

 

Trend #5: Beige

 

I am not sure how this is a new trend since I have been seeing beautiful neutral interiors for years now. I think people like them the most because they are “safe” but can always be changed with a pop of color.

Do you agree with the trends that Elle Decor has predicted for 2013?

Pinterest Your Friday

Wow! It has been a very long time since I have done “Pinterest Your Friday” and I kind of miss it! Even if I cannot find the time or energy to blog or go on Facebook, I will always find time to go on Pinterest (or Instagram, my new obsession). Lately, I find myself hanging out on Pinterest at 2am when not able to sleep.  can spend hours on the site and not get bored. Here are some of my pins this week:

2013 Pantone’s Color of the Year: Emerald

 

I love when Pantone comes out with the color for the year as well as the different colors for each season. Emerald is the popular and most daring choice this season. According to Leatrice Eiseman, the executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, green is the most abundant hue in nature. The human eye actually sees more of it than any other color in the spectrum.

I have to say I admire the boldness of emerald and although my living room is painted a soft shade of green I don’t think I would be able to have such a bold color in my house. I am more of a “alloy” kind of girl. What about you?

Home Tour: Giuliana Rancic’s LA Home

Giuliana is pretty funny on TV. I remember watching an episode a couple of year’s ago when she tried to cook…didn’t go so well. But I loved how real she was. Anyways, her and her husband bought a home in LA and I love what they have done with it. It is very neutral yet elegant and sophisticated. I wonder how clean all the white will be once the little baby becomes a toddler.
