This before and after is from Julie Richard at Shelter design blog. She totally transformed this vintage Chippendale chair with a vibrant blue. Daring I know! But it works. The color lets the chair become a great focal point in the room and it accentuates the details. And you could change the color if you decide to give it a new home in a different room or change your color scheme altogether. Don’t we all need a little color in our lives?

Mother nature teased us again this week. We had sunny and 70 degrees one day and 30 degrees and 12 inches of snow the next! Ahh springtime in Denver. But I’ve got outdoor living areas on my mind and I can’t wait to take it outside. Happy Weekend!

Eclectic: selecting what appears to be best in various doctrines, methods, or style. Mixing styles in design is something you see more and more in design these days. As design evolves certain pieces stick around because they are “good” design. Go ahead mix new and old but do so with thought. Keep a pattern and color consistent to pull a cohesive look together.
This chair totally works in a shiny vinyl against the more traditional wallpaper. Why? it's teenagers room and the colors are complimenting
A contemporary painting, rattan chairs and an iron tree trunk table all work. There is a beautiful simplicity in this room.
This neutral pallete is essentially the backdrop for the standout style of the coffee table, arm-chair, contemporary painting, and Moroccan pouf.
The contemporary chairs with the more traditional style table work in the clean, sleek kitchen.
Check out the contemporary bar stools and industrial simple pendants mixed with the country-style table and chairs.
Love the mix of colorful pieces, shingled wall and collage of art. Color ties this one all together.
This is classic eclectic. A mix of modern & traditional, vintage & new
