color me friday

Happy Friday to all of you who LOVE your Abode! I hope you have had a fantastic week- lots of things are changing quickly at my abode and I am simply giddy about it-- someone should really pinch me to make sure I'm awake and not in some fabulous dream involving a stream of new furniture! That's right... I got something else besides the Restoration Hardware trunk this week! I will share all of the yummy details tomorrow! Usually, it takes MONTHS of saving, searching- and then finally making that purchase with my heart pounding (usually accompanied my sweaty hands, a little anxiety as well as a coupon code or two....) But this time, the stars all aligned and yours truly ran across some fabulous deals and a wee bit of luck...

At an attempt of sharing my delightful state of bliss, I am posting quite an array of images today that should get your creative juices flowing. Your eyes will be happy and surprised with punchy splashes of color... May your day be as sunny as mine!

I really love the colorful mix of artwork in this image... Also- that cart looks STACKED with little treasures and trinkets!

Peachy-orange mixed with purple... who'd a thunk it!? It's beautiful and completely unexpected! I am loving the stacks of books used as decor- lovely!

This image is one of my favorites... I love, love the pair of ottomans. The pink and orange combination is quirky and pretty fantastic. The tones are similar in richness so they blend beautifully together without looking ridiculous or clashing. I also love the lack of color in the chunky lucite table as well as the kelly green patterned pillow... this space reminds me of skittles... and skittles are pretty delicious!

I still love the "For Like Ever" prints... They are silly and add such a fun sarcasm to beautiful spaces like the one below... 

This is a gorgeous array of artwork and photos... what a gallery wall! I especially love all of the super-rich colors in this space... the green, gold and pale teal are AMAZING together!

I'm always a sucker for orange... and orange paired with teals and blues is probably my all time fave... which is exactly why I love this space so much!

 This space is sophisticated and so very lovely... the punches of hot pink and gold really "young-it-up"

 pink and green... sweet!

Okay-- does anyone know what kind of trees these are? I really want a few for my abode-- anyone? anyone?

Yum, yum, yum... Deep blue walls, hot pink drapes and a plethora of shiny, glamourous things! The gold chandelier mixed with the mirrors and silver objects on the table creates such a rich and luxurious feel to this dining room.

So- if anyone knows what kind of trees those are I would really LOVE to know... also, I can't WAIT to share what's NEW at the abode tomorrow! Have a great Friday!
