Summer Sunshine

So yesterday was officially the first day of summer, although I must say here in Florida it's been feeling like summer for awhile now. We recently blogged on Summer Blues but now since it's official, it's time for some sunshine! I always love accents of a bold color in a room. It adds an element of surprise. But you want to make sure when adding the pops of color that there is a method to the madness. Make sure your backdrop is balanced in proportion, texture and color variation. Don't hesitate to use bold patterns but make sure they compliment each other.
Here are just few snippets of some of my favorite cheerful interiors that have a sophisticated elegance with bright accents of yellow. See how the yellow dances off of the cool grays and makes a beautiful contrast with the classic look of black and white. Whatever you choose to pair it with, just a little bit of this vibrant hue goes a long way.
Check out some products you find at Studio Six Eleven as well as our Etsy shop Quondam We have many lines of designer furniture , lighting , one of a kind vintage re-styled accessories and lots of bright ideas for your nest. Give us a shout this summer to help you bring new light to a room!

Fresh Pulp Flowers

"Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made and forgot to put a soul into." Henry Ward Beecher 1858.
Fresh cut flowers are an undeniable beauty but they are also a major cause in destroying the healthy balance of mother nature. Flowers are a $40 billion a year industry. Seventy-nine percent of cut flowers come from Ecuador or Columbia and are grown with 12 different types pesticides. When creating a design for your event there is a fabulous trending alternative to fresh cut flower, Paper Flowers! This is a great concept for the budget smart & eco-conscience bride. These paper petals have been seen on the runway of Chanel's 2009 Spring/Summer Haute Couture show and in the hands of modern brides. I happened across this wonderful artist Elosie Corr. She creates the most amazing collections of couture paper floral design check out her beautiful creations Shop Eloise Corr Danch

Valentine's Treat Yourself

Whether we are spending Valentine’s day with that special someone or focusing on treating ourselves better, this hallmark day reminds us of one thing, LOVE. We should be showing love every day, but doesn't it feel good to bask in the love fest that reminds everyone to stop and take time for one another and not to mention #1, ourselves. Here are a few ideas to show love on this Valentine's Day. Treat yourself or your cutie to a hot bath filled with rose petals, candles and soft music. The fragrant bath isn't just good for the senses, but rose petals are a known toner and clarifies the skin. You can pick them up for just $5 a bag at Fort Myers Floral Designs, 11480 Cleveland Avenue, Fort Myers, FL. Or how about a chocolate that makes your heart melt as it melts in your mouth. Norman Love Confections entices the soul with their exotic flavors and award winning artistry of their fine chocolates and pastries. These gems look just too good to eat! Indulgence is bliss, knowing that some of their assortments of fine cocoa is chocked full of antioxidants. If Chocolate is not for you, then ask someone to Bee Mine with products from Burt's Bees beauty products made from natural, organic ingredients. Their bees wax based lip gloss fortified with soothing herbs make lips kissable and tastes good too! Happy Valentine's Day from the gals at Studio 6XI.

Is Turquoise the Hot Hue of the Cool Blues?

In a home fashion article on iVillage.com for 2010 color trend predictions, turquoise was rated the hot new color for home decor, paint and accents. This vivacious color has multiple shades that compliment warm as well as cool colors. What a great way to change up your decor a bit and add some turquoise accessories, funky throw pillows, or paint on an accent wall. Along with this hot hue of blue, it is said that blue in general is making a huge comeback. So, don't throw away that blue danube china your grandmother gave you! From home to fashion; cloudy slates to bold colbalts are making a statement. Not to mention navy is the more serious side of black.
