Obsession: Leopard


I'm not much of a cat person, but Leopard is definitely my thing! I'm a sucker for leopard *anything* whether it's for my house or my wardrobe. In fact, I really don't think a room is finished until it has a touch of leopard in it. It has to be done well, though...nothing worse than tacky leopard! And, it's important to remember that a little goes a very long way.  It's one of those situations where it's completely right or it's completely wrong! Here- a few examples where it's completely right! 


Love this leopard setee in an otherwise very muted room.



Leopard benches in a small eclectic bedroom.



Absolutely love this living room with the emerald sofa and robin's egg blue
 window treatments by Palmer Weiss.



A vibrant room by Miles Redd with elegant leopard chairs.



One of my all-time favorite bedrooms. An elegant space belonging to 
Hamish Bowles, contributing editor at Vogue Magazine.



Beautiful leopard benches in photographer Claiborne Swanson Frank's living room



This leopard dress peeking out from a classic trench with the pop of color from the coral scarf! Love!










I love it when paired with unexpected brights!





But, it's also fabulous on it's own or with neutrals 




And, there are always cases where more really is more!

Obsession: Black & White Stripes

To call this a mere obsession must be an understatement. As I looked through my own digital files and pinterest, it became increasingly clear that I am in over my head when it comes to black and white stripes. I'll take them on anything...clothes, furniture, walls, windows, tents! I can't get enough of this black and white goodness.

Obsession: Black Walls

So, I know they've been around the scene for a while, but I just can't stop obsessing over black walls. I love the drama they add to just about any room. They are equally fantastic in kitchens, libraries, powder rooms and bedrooms...even an airstream trailer can benefit from a little bit of noir . And...they are a perfect foil to just about any color you want to pair against them. Is there a better neutral?
