Home Decorating Ideas :: Project Décor

Have you heard of Project Décor? It’s an amazing all-in-one design platform that allows you to create the room of your dreams and then buy it.  The highly addicting image-centric site (which speaks to me), is a place where users can get tons of home decorating ideas.

Creating your new room is super easy (and fun!). First, browse for products you love and “tear” them. Then create a design board (a cinch to do) using the items you’ve torn. If you like, share products or boards with friends or the hubby for approval (or not). And lastly, have your credit card handy to purchase.  Don’t worry, Project Décor welcomes all. They carry a variety of styles and price points, so there is something there for everyone.

I’ve created a few design boards to give you an idea of what you could do using Project Décor

As an on-line design store and more, it lets design fans mix and remix items from the world’s leading designers and brands to get a room just so—and then get the actual pieces home. – Project Décor

Chip It App by Sherwin-Williams

Have you heard of Chip It! by Sherwin-Williams? It’s almost as addicting as Pinterest – no joke! With the free app, you can instantly turn any online image into a color palette using more the 1,500 Sherwin-Williams paint colors. I know, it’s pretty cool. And yep, set aside some serious time because you’ll be “chipin’ it” for hours.

From interiors to landscape, textiles to tablescapes, Chip It! can pull color palettes together in an instant and save loads of time trying to figure out paint colors. Here are a few “chipcards” I created using Chip It!:

Giveaway :: Good Bones, Great Pieces Book

good bones great pieces book review
Selecting furniture pieces that you will love for decades can be overwhelming. However, the mother-daughter designing duo, Suzanne and Lauren McGrath are making the selection process much easier in their book, Good Bones, Great Pieces. By focusing on seven essential, timeless pieces  – the love seat, demilune, bench, dresser, slipper chair, side table and occasional chair –  the McGraths have created a resourceful book that everyone including seasoned decorators will want in their collection.
For the McGraths decorating isn’t about following trends, but about following one simple rule: “Almost every piece you purchase should have the ability to take on more than one role in your current or future home.” Their multi-functional design philosophy is aligned with my own and perhaps that’s why I adore this book so much. Take a peek at some of the beautiful images, valuable advice and stunning illustrations…
