Let's paint

Pipe Down by Farrow & Ball



Outrageous Orange by Benjamin Moore



Black Lacquer by Benjamin Moore

I love all three of these paint colors. I have used the first two in my apartment. The grey looks great in a living room and the orange I painted in my work space. The last color by Benjamin Moore, Black Lacquer, is used above by painting a bathroom door, but it is not to dark being surrounded by the playfulness of the blue!

I'm dreaming of a workspace...

Having a small work space can really jam me up...I have transformed a closet in my DC apartment to have as a work space but I have a dream of having a bigger one...these are a couple work spaces that inspire me to grow! Check my work space on McNamara Design!

Holdin it all together

Asian inspiration, geometric shapes, and painted wooden banisters all make great bookends...love the turquoise wooden banister idea. Great DIY project!

Martha Knows Best

These three Christmas cards are all handmade, Martha style. The first is an accordion style card that would take no time to make up. the next two are more tedious but well worth the $ you will save by making your own! Merry Merry!

Frame + Foto of the Day!

The frame of the day is a distressed pine frame from DA Custom Frames and will add great character for the foto of the day. This is Luna B my best friend Raegan's dog. The most sweetest loyal dog I know! See you New Years Eve Luna B!

Talk about warming up for under budget...

Found this Faux Fur at Calypso St. Bart's and love the light color and adds tons of texture to your couch, bed, or wing back chair!

Warm it up

Saw this fireplace image in Lonny Mag and loved the geometric shape of the fire screen. After searching for an affordable one this is what I found...$99 bucks from JC Penny will give you the designer look for 1/3 of the cost!

Clutch it!

Holiday season you have a million parties...why not dress it up with one of these fun clutches! Made by Corey Renee these clutches add the party to any outfit!

Let the light shine in!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So I saw these in Sweet Paul Mag and looked the look of them. They are made by Sarah Foote out of veneer strips, dots, and free flowing lines, which Sarah calls these lamps spaghetti, seaweed, and hydrangea. They are simple but give off a complexity to them that will add texture to any space. Love them!

Frame + Foto of the Day!

The frame of the day is a Kate Spade Frame...I love the black n white picture in it already...so I thought I'd go with one too! The foto of the day is of me and another one of my best girlfriends, Kerry. She is getting married in May and I couldn't be happier for her and her fiance Matt! Their wedding is 5 months to the day... Cheers!

Make a Gallery in your Home!

Apartment Therapy DC posted an How-To create your own gallery in your home! These are some of my favorite examples. The plethora of frames surrounding the staircase has got to be my #1 pick! By keep the frame and matting all white the space feels less overwhelming...check how I created a gallery in my own apartment at McNamara Design!

Fun fabric!

So I found this great DIY headboard on Danielle Oakley's Blog and loved the fabric that she used for her daughters room! I had to share the link to the online fabric dealer...great deals! Danielle found this fabric fro $12/yard.

Notebooks!

Check out these notebooks! They are only $5 and would be great to shove in your purse for jointing down numbers, to-do lists, and a whole lot more! Just love em!
