"Show me your horse, and I will show you what you are..."

I can't think of a better focal point to a room than a piece of art that evokes something for everyone. I, myself am in love with the horse painting in my dining room. It somehow makes the room feel less stuffy, and I couldn't really ask for more. Check out some of these other great rooms and accessories that are all about the horse.

This striking photograph from Roberto Dutesco’s Horses of Sable Island series is the perfect accent to this bright living space.

"L" is for Lavender...

I must admit, I've never been a huge fan of the color pink, but I am a sucker for lavender. I recently made a last minute decision to change interior paint from a pale grey to a pale grey-lavender, and I have zero regrets. It's so subtle that you almost don't realize it's a little out of the typical neutral beige box. Finding the right shade can be tricky, don't forget to look at throughout the day, since the natural light can make a big difference...
