berry crush

I don't know about you, but I go through phases of being drawn to certain color palettes.  I'm always + forever drawn to white-on-white, with hints of seaglass tones (call it my love for the ocean) or blush (what girl doesn't love a little pink from time to time)...but lately I'm crushing on that beautiful plum-kissed shade of burgundy.  We design-y types always like to come up with new names for nuances of color, but for now, I'll just call this a crush on tones of berry (think rich, deep mulberry). 

My quest for all things berry led me to creating this design concept (featuring furnishings + accessories from Ethan Allen).  I started with a neutral backdrop... a great gray, clean-line sofa, and then added layers of ivory textures...mixed in some metallics + finally some berry patterns + velvet.

Perhaps my crush was inspired by this dahlia mix my daughter + I created on a recent farmer's market Saturday morning...

 

 This rich berry shade has also been in a lot of my "pins" 

+ "likes" lately... 

 ...and in my instagram snaps...

{this one features a hand-dyed linen from West Elm Charlotte, candle from World Market and vase from TargetStyle with white peacock feathers from Etsy KimonosFeathers}

With the changing of the seasons, I've also been in that mode of adding cozy layers to my interiors + closet. 

So...what colors + cozy details are calling your name these days? Do tell. 

Wishing you a beautiful November, full of rich moments with friends + family.
