The right decor accents certainly makes styling a bookshelf an easier task. Selecting decorative objects in tones that coordinate with the room’s color palette helps the bookshelf have a harmonious look. For example, the accents used in the above bookcase are all neutral tones (even the books!). This stylish bookshelf inspired me to round-up some fun neutral home accessories for your bookcase:
How cute are those ceramic Pug dogs?

What do you get when you cross the work of a marine biologist and a talented graphic designer? A fabulous textile line by nettle+fin. The company’s first textile line was completely inspired by microscopic images of beautiful, otherworldly creatures from the depths and the shallows of the warm oceans. It’s incredible to see how these tiny sea creatures could be the catalyst for such crisp, modern patterns. Giving each fabric its scientific name such as Hyplglossum, Rhipidosiphon and Ligora, nettle+fin educates us along the way too!
“Although we decided that our initial fabric patterns would focus on marine algae, we knew that we’d eventually like to expand our company to include pattern lines representing many different kinds of plants and animals. Thus, we wanted a name that symbolized the flora and fauna of both the land and the water. Relatively quickly, we decided on “nettle” to represent plants and terrestrial-based organisms, and “fin” to represent animals and aquatic-based organisms.” – nettle+fin

In the past few years, graphic patterns have been appearing more and more on the fashion runways and in home decor. Like it or not, it’s a design trend that’s not going away. Watch out for bold geometric patterns to gain even more momentum in 2013. You’ll find graphic patterns covering textiles, adorning furniture and shaping lighting. I’ll be cheering for my fave, the honeycomb pattern!
Happy Friday!

I’m always on the lookout for beautiful decorative boxes. They are a great way to store keepsakes and person items in style. I came across a sleek monogram jewelry box in lacquer green the other day on Pinterest and just can’t seem to get it out of my mind! I love the initial clasp in gold. It’s a personal touch that’s so chic. It also comes in four colors to coordinate with any color palette.
It’s clearly been a popular item because most of the letters have sold out! Yet, the letter P is still available. Hmmm. Better grab mine now!
Happy Friday!
