Recent Obessions: Greek Key + Project Sneak Peak

While the Greek Key is in no way a new pattern, recently I've become obsessed with it! I think it is great because it is incredibly versatile. 

It can be scaled down to coordinate perfectly with larger patterns.

Or can easily be enlarged to add a punch of contrast to a room.

Or add subtle detail with low contrast by painting the same or a similar color.

Those corners almost got the best of me ... but I think I found a way to fix them ... stay tuned!

Recent Obessions: Attic or Cap Code upstairs spaces

I'll call it a recent obsession, since I've been think about it a lot lately, but it really has been an always obsession.

I LOVE attic or Cap Code upstairs spaces! I guess its the dramatic drops in the ceiling which create interest, but i think where is really gets me is how I feel in the space. Dropped ceilings create a cozy feeling, like you are being hugged by the room, making you feel comfortable.

Recent Obsession - Frame Ledges

I've recently become obsessed with frame ledges!

Why do I love them? 1. They are a fast way to fill an entire wall 2. Less measuring and holes 3. They add a touch 3D visual interest - perfect for a narrow space where furniture will not fit!

Here are some of my favorites:
