View from the Empire State Building
May 21 2013 ·2While I had to cancel my trip to BlogFest in New York City this week, I did happen to fit in a quick, fun trip to NYC last week. For the first time in all of my visits, it was a clear, beautiful day when we ventured to the top of the Empire State Building. The views from the observation deck were stunning…

Spring Inspiration at Anthropologie
Apr 17 2013 ·0{Boston.com has put together an excellent list of ways you can help victims of Monday’s horrific events here in Boston}
Last week I was a guest speaker at Quincy College in a Design Program seminar. One of the questions that was asked was: “Where do you get your inspiration?”
The answer is simple: EVERYWHERE…
I don’t mean to sound coy, but if you learn how to see and use your senses to absorb your surroundings, it truly is…
Posh Pinterest Board of the Week: Flora
Apr 04 2013 ·1While waiting for Spring to truly arrive here in Massachusetts, along with visiting the florist, Pinterest is a wonderful place to look for floral inspiration. This week’s Posh Pinterest board features my very own Flora board. Ah, the color, lushness and beauty!
Here are a few of my favorite pins…
The Smell of Spring
Apr 03 2013 ·2There is nothing like the smell of Spring ~ so fresh, so new, so…green. Fortunately, you can smell Spring any time of the year as soon as you step into Winston Flowers in Hingham (or any of their locations). Last week, just before Easter, I wandered into what felt like Paradise on a dreary, cold and gray day and into a garden of color and fragrance…
Posh Palettes Inspiration Board: Spring
Mar 27 2012 ·0“Oh Spring! I want to go out and feel you and get inspiration.”
~Emily Carr
Last week in the Boston area we enjoyed record breaking warmth. Temperatures topped 70 degrees and sunny cerulean blue skies were the norm for 5 days in a row. I felt like I was on vacation! Now the forsythia are blooming next to the daffodils and crocuses, and it is just splendid.
All of this warmth coupled with the afterglow of Alexa Hampton’s lecture and her amazing project boards inspired me to create a vibrant Spring Inspiration Board for some of my personal projects…
I was inspired by my current favorite color ORANGE~ which as you may recall just so happens to be the Pantone color of the year. Similar to my Presentation Panels for clients, I love to use texture, color, appeal to all of the senses. On this board, the scent of suntan lotion transports me right to the beach, a beach photo recalls memories of younger days, and a bright lipstick brings to mind salty, smudged kisses…
I love woven wood blinds any time of the year but particularly in the Spring and Summertime. Consider installing these versatile window coverings on a porch to shield you just enough from the direct sunshine and then easily roll them up when you want to admire the full view~
Ahhhh, the romance of a toile. Always a classic but so much more cheeky in orange and magenta, don’t you think?
The changing of the seasons invites you to take out all your colorful clothing and accessories. It seems that subliminally I tend to purchase clothes to match my interiors… I wouldn’t want to clash would I??
Just between us, it’s not really subliminal ;-).
The next time you want to approach a design project, why not put together an inspirational board for yourself? It’s so much fun and you just might surprise yourself with some unique textures and color combinations that you adore…
