It always catches up to us before we know it - the new year is almost here, which means it's time for a roundup of what's hot for 2015! Let's kick things off with color! Pantone has deemed "˜Masala' as their Color of the Year. While this hasn't appeared to be a favorite amongst designers or consumers, colors will trend on the cooler and softer side with subtle warm tones that follow a minimalistic theme. Think pastels and colors found in nature. While that might be easy on the eyes, 'Greek Blue' is making a strong appearance on everything from walls, to accent furniture and much more. This saturated, almost electric blue is joined by mustard yellows, energized reds and ...

We all love color. There is nothing better than throwing a fresh coat of paint on a wall to liven our space. Clean. Fresh. Ahhh. Inspiring, yes   Last week we were thrilled to host an event in our Boston store featuring Lisa Teague from Quiet Home Paints. Lisa, and her partner/daughter Andi, teamed up to create a line of paint that boasts vibrant, beautiful colors and is safe for the home. The paints are odorless, solvent-free, no VOC's, and water-based. They are free of pesticides, herbicides and entirely non-toxic. Lisa and Andi have created a fabulous paint line and we want our customers to know about it. In our Boston and Cambridge stores we have a small kiosk with samples of QHP's ...

My friend owns a charming one bedroom, one bathroom apartment on the upper east side of Manhattan. I spent the weekend in New York City, and woke up on her guest daybed Saturday morning. The daybed is on the side of the living room wall near a desk and bookshelf. Against the perpendicular wall is the sofa and across from it, the TV. It was in the grogginess of morning that I noticed all of the furniture was arranged against the edges of the room leaving open negative space in the center. "There is too much space between the TV and the couch." I said to myself.   I could understand why the pieces were arranged this way. It was a small ...
