mad about marimekko

by fh_rachael on JULY 12, 2011
When it comes to pattern, I'm easy to please. Make it fun, graphic or colorful, and I'm a happy camper. And Marimekko, for me, is the perfect marriage of all three. The Finnish company has been around since the '50s and you may have even run across one of the individually-owned Marimekko showrooms that dot... Read more »

love it or hate it: colorful bathroom porcelain

by fh_christian on JUNE 15, 2011
One of my favorites days as a teen was when my parents decided to remove the rose-colored sink, toilet and tub in the single bathroom I shared with them, my three brothers and my sister.

keen on green

by fh_rachael on MAY 10, 2011
Yeah, yeah, I know Honeysuckle Pink has been deemed the Color of the Year. But, for me, how a color makes me feel kicks any trend to the curb. And this spring, there’s something about green—not kelly or hunter, more lime, chartreuse, peapod—that makes my soul sing. All I know is that I have to... Read more »

Kristina finds color inspiration everywhere, from buildings to food to nature to fashion runway shows: I use her blog to remind myself that color inspiration and color palettes are everywhere, I just have to pay attention — and then, I can apply these color combos in...

room ideas: colorful front doors

by fh_rachel on SEPTEMBER 15, 2010
There's a house in my neighborhood that has a bright yellow front door. I remember it being quite the hubbub when the homeowners painted it. (“Really? Yellow? You've gotta be kidding me.”) At first, it seemed garish, but it's grown on me, and I've started to wonder why more people don't step out of the... Read more »

room ideas: colorful bedrooms

by fh_rachel on AUGUST 06, 2010
You've all seen my bedroom color conundrum. And if you can believe it, I'm considering (just considering) scrapping it all and painting the walls bright white. But that seems like jumping on some sort of all-neutral, all-the-time bandwagon. All I see anymore are white, white, white bedrooms. So I set out to figure out how... Read more »
