Shades of Red


Rainy days make me happy sometimes, a reason to stay home, work on projects, play with the kiddos and stay in my pj's!
This last full week of August I am feeling transition in every aspect, school, fall, schedules, (thank goodness) and am drawn to beautiful shades of red. Gorgeous crimson drapes, a lacquered red bamboo accent chair or a vibrant to die for wall covering make a bold sophisticated statement in any space.

Missoni


Speaking of super yummy and oh so luscious, the website All Modern, has all their Missoni Home up to 30% off until September 5th. Luxurious linens, throw pillows, rugs, and accessories are all on sale!


If you are not familiar with the brand, Missoni is an Italian knitwear line started by Ottavio and Rosita Missoni in 1953 and continues to be a family run business. Missoni has evolved into a large fashion house as well as home accessory brand and they have even branched into the hotel world with a Missoni Hotel in Edinburgh, UK and another due to open October in Kuwait. Seeing that it is Tuesday, if you are a fan of The Rachel Zoe Project you can catch a glimpse of the chic home furnishings in Rachel's home, she obviously goes bananas for Missoni.
