A Touch of Yellow

It is a very miserable cold and rainy day in Wellington - a very brisk start to our Autumn. So when I saw this classy kitchen with the bright yellow pendant lights, I perked up as there is nothing like a pop of yellow for some zing. This kitchen was renovated by stylist Raina Kattelson in New York State and makes an appearance in the latest Rue magazine. Read it here.

elva fields. via rue mag.

happy thursday. aren't you proud; i haven't used a time reference all week. until now. (pssst...next week is october. how did you sneak up on us so quickly?)

of course amanda and i love the new/first issue of rue magazine. i mean, we called each other twice the day of the premiere, went through every page, read it together (over the phone and then again in person), and had smiles ear to ear. we are so excited to have another shelter magazine in our lives. especially one with such great content and graphics. go ahead and try to flip through the pages just one time...dare you.

i was going to blog about my favorite interiors from it, but quite honestly, it's just too hard for me to pick only one. so, i went the jewelry route. elva fields. mainly because the styles are so awesome, and also because elva was the name of my grandmother, too! i am loving the name references of the company and how meaningful that can be. i also love how emily, the owner from alabama, uses flea markets and antique stores as main sources for her finds. just like furniture. fashion and interiors are so closely related, and this is a perfect example. i can see amanda and myself using some of these colors as inspiration for our next project. (wheels turning...). of course most of these fabulous finds are sold out. as they should be. here are some of my personal favorites. jolene.

spread the good word.

in less than three weeks from today, rue magazine will be making her first appearance. rue will be an online source for trends, design, and inspiration. it's so exciting to see the blogging world is really making a difference in assisting with the loss of such great publications. we are so very excited to see this new addition to the design family. thank you rue for understanding our needs. we can't wait for your birthday :) jolene.
