I was re-reading some of my coffee table books recently, and I came across a historic Harlem brownstone designed by Sheila Bridges in “So Chic”  by Elle Decor.  I immediately noticed the mix of soft and serene colors incorporated with bold hues and punchy pattern.

I think it is safe to say that everyone is desperate for Spring. I am currently enjoying my own little “Spring Break” in Florida, and I am quite content with the high 70s and sunshine. Come July in Texas you may hear me wishing for fur blankets and boots, but for now I will savor

Occasionally on Instagram, you discover people who possess rare talents of exceptional design and good taste. Dana Mahnke is no exception.
