I recently fell upon Russell & MacKenna fresh furniture. How cute is their stuff? Their pieces are bright and cheery, perfect for adding color to any room. All furniture is custom made; you choose everything from paint color, fabric and accents to knobs, monograms and accessories. With colors like summer shower, lemon ice, Bermuda beach and kiwi, you know you'll end up with something refreshing.

Nautical Inspiration
So many people want the nautical feel when decorating, but rely too much on the obvious…anchors, sail boats, shells, knick-knacks and blue, blue and more blue…and over do it. Although it’s great for a little boy’s bedroom, the key to decorating an entire house is moderation, using only a few obvious accessories.
Lately I’ve been obsessed with the idea of grown-up nautical or “sophisticated nautical”. What is it? To me, it’s crisp white woodwork, trim and architectural details contrasted with a minimal, but bold pop of color. A mix of classic and modern furniture pieces and accessories, clean lines and natural elements.
I think the J.K. Capri hotel in Capri, Italy hit the “sophisticated nautical” nail on the head! Check out a few pictures below.
