It is said that the color yellow awakens our memory, encourages creativity, promotes communication and fuels our nervous system.  All these positive and optimistic reactions are a result of the happiness the color yellow is known to spark.  It’s an easy color to combine with other hues, and it adds a spark of light in the process.  Although it is a color that enhances the mood, yellow can also provoke different feelings and emotions.

Wedding season is fast approaching.  Actually, there is a phrase in Spanish that goes “Las Novias de Junio” which means “June Brides.”  The wedding season runs from the end of April to the beginning of Fall and no wonder they happen more during this season since it’s when nature is at its best.  Weddings are super fun; they give us the chance to dress up and celebrate love and happiness.  If you happen to be invited to a wedding or two this year, here are three different outfits for three different locations, from town, country to the beach.

When Bunny Williams started decorating this Mediterranean-style villa in Palm Beach, there was one final goal-  the fifteen-year-old home should  “look settled, as it had always been there.”  The retired couple added a wing and re-did the pool and landscape.  Williams provided that forever look, but one that is relevant and up to date.  She brought in lots of 18th-century Italian antiques and combined them with current pieces.

Julie Paulino Design Designer Showcase Columbus, Ohio

Tonight is the opening gala of the Designer Showcase in the Columbus Museum of Art.  It’ll be lots of fun.  It will be open to the public tomorrow.  Here is a sneak peek of my space, which is the guest bedroom.  I created a room that has an eclectic yet sophisticated feel to it.  It’s full with all the things I love and have forever talked about in this blog- ikat, convex plaster mirrors, prints, canopy, etc.  I’ll do a full reveal another day when I have better photos.
