love it, live it: west elm lounge

Fall lounge inspired by West Elm.  

Bold color pallet with clean lines and inviting textures.

west elm october 2016...

oh so squealishly good!

A few of my favorite pieces from the new season at West Elm:

This Oversized Geo throw in Dark Mandarin looks so cozy and classic, rather Hermes'ish.

Lola (love the name) Tufted Sofa is glam in style and mod in color.

I am loving the bronze legs on the Mid-Century Dining Chair and the Astek Collection Wallpaper in Green Quartz Stone would tickle even Tony Duquette's fancy.

"Posh Poufs" indeed!  Mongolian Lamb Stool

Glass, Brass, Bronze, Velvet, Turquoise...LOVE!

Luxe Gold Cork Wallpaper.

Graphic cool, Brass Geo Inlay Storage by Roar + Rabbit.

Linen is my go to for bedding, but a Silk Velvet Duvet Cover for winter, Oh Yes!

Navy, grey, brass and copper; a warm Mod-Glam.

The Uptown Table and Chair are fantastic pieces, but the Gershwin credenza is a true showstopper.

Gotham Armoire, enough said.

The best thing about high ceilings, the Drape Pendant.

The Origami Leather Sofa is like the perfect black leather jacket.

Bravo West Elm, Bravo!

love it, live it: "pink", sexy, kitchen

Yes, another sexy kitchen.  While it was inspired by the latest "pink" color post, it by no means is bubble gum pink.  Save for the onyx, lapis, malachite granite slab I saw at the Blue Whale back in school, I will do what I can to NOT use granite it in a home.  There are so many surface options available.  So many that add some serious POW to a home, that granite is a complete second thought, actually make that a fourth thought.

color stories part 2: pink

The color pink comes from a flower named Pinks.  A light red with many meanings:  love, sweet, tender, girly, romantic and to girls of all ages, pretty.  I also find pink to be energizing as well as soothing, depending on the tone.

Below are a few pink ideas for making an interior statement.

Two vastly different color stories...

sexy, bohemian kitchen style board

I haven't done a Style Board in a couple of months, I've been busy with other projects, and perhaps a bit of a creative block.  So when my creativity sprung back to life this week, a quick kitchen design (hence the missing appliances) was in order.  Texture and pattern for my bohemian spirit and a bit of glitz for sex appeal.

love it, live it: color inspired living, red

A quick living room Style Board inspired by this week's color...RED.

Product sources available at TCSTYLIST1@GMAIL.COM

color stories: part 1, red

Red is...passion, danger, excitement, drama, power, heat, love, happiness...it is something different from person to person.  Diana Vreeland had a red room, Christian Louboutin shoes have a signature red sole, and the red stripes on our American flag stand for courage.

I like red.  It is not my favorite color.  Or is it?  I adore coral, melon, and salmon which in fact are members of the red family.  I have very little red in my home, but the pop of red I do have is small, but sexy; Georgia O'Keeffe "At The Rodeo".

I put together below, a few "pops" of red to add to a home.  From modern to beachy, fun to fabulous; a little goes a long way.

Two of my favorite color stories:

White, Black, Red, and Turquoise

and

White, Navy, Green and Coral.

love it, live it: pantone rose quartz and serenity inspired lounge

FIIIII-NA-LLLLLY!  The final Style Board for the Pantone Color of the Year 2016 Series is a bit late due to my newbie status with Photoshop, I am still learning its nuances.  While this room is not exactly to my standards, I need to move on to a new Style Board.  I promise, over time, I will conquer Photoshop and provide you with FABULOUS STYLE BOARDS!

fit food: super tasty Asian vinaigrette

 I came up with this super tasty vinaigrette to add to my Big Ass Salad repertoire.  Not only is it a great salad accessory, but it can also be used for a stir fry sauce, spring roll dip, or marinade.  I have used it for two salads; one with grilled salmon and one with grilled tuna.  I have also tossed sliced sweet peppers with it for a quick n' easy appetizer.

SUPER TASTY ASIAN VINAIGRETTE

1 Small clove of garlic

1 Small piece, about 1" of ginger

2 T rice wine vinegar (I've been using the mango one)

1 T soy sauce

2 T extra virgin olive oil or grapeseed oil

1 T chopped cilantro

Grate garlic and ginger into a small bowl.  Add vinegar and soy, whisk together.  Slowly whisk in oil.  Add cilantro.

Enjoy!

Barre Amped by Suzanne Bowen Fitness: A+++

I have never been one for working out at gyms; I like the convenience of working out at home.  We are lucky to have so many options available through streaming, apps, magazines and DVD's.  To compliment my winter workout of shoveling snow, raking the roof and walking in Sorels, I recently discovered Suzanne Bowen's Barre Amped DVD's.

Barre actually comes from the "bar" used during warm up and practice by ballet dancers.  In my opinion, there is nothing more beautiful than a dancer's body; 

it is both elegant and strong.

I have a few of Suzanne's other DVD's from the "10 Minute Solutions" series, I have workout A.D.D., another really good reason for working out at home.  Suzanne is a great instructor; she describes the moves, her cues are awesome and the way she speaks is just right, encouraging even.

Barre Amped is based on dance, Pilates and yoga.  DVD 4 is broken into six segments:  Warm Up, Light Weight Work, Thigh Work, Seat Work, Mat Work and Stretch.  I highly recommend Barre Amped 4 if you are looking for a change.  Her motto of "Shake to Change" is spot on, it's freaking fantastic! 

 I'm starting Barre Amped 3 Cardio Fat Burn this afternoon, since sprinting in Sorels is just not a good idea.  Watch for my review soon!

love it, live it: pantone inspired dining room

 Tah-dah!  My first bleeping Style Board using Photoshop!  It's not perfect, by any means, and it needs some refining...but it is time for me to move on to another space!

This is the second of three rooms for the Pantone Color of the Year 2016 series.  Soft colors with clean modern lines, the foundation for a cool and glam dining space.  

I promise, the next board will be better.

photoshop help desperately needed, PLEASE!!!

It is time to invest a little more somethin somethin into 20.twelve.3 interiors.  I have purchased new cards, a new laptop (buh bye Windows Vista) and Photoshop.

While there are plenty of tutorials available for Photoshop, I have yet to find one really good and thorough one, for creating Interior Design Style Boards. So I am reaching out to anyone who can help me create boards like these shown. 

If someone could recommend a site, a book or even if someone could send me a broken down "list" of  the tools to use in Photoshop, you would be my greatly appreciated superhero!

Drop me a line at TCSTYLIST1@GMAIL.COM

THANK YOU MUCHLY IN ADVANCE!!!
