Home Typography Tuesday

Welcome to another "Home Type Tuesday"! When I came upon the Garvey Chair on Anthropologie's website I have to admit I stared at it for a good 5 minutes. There are so many things I love about it, but I especially adore the simple way of adding a bit if fabric with type to the seat updates the entire look!

"If you're using type as décor, only use it in one area," Covino suggests. "If you start to repeat it, it'll become overwhelming. . . . Let it be your wow piece in one section of the room. That way whatever you're ‘saying' in that type speaks on its own." quote from the article below

I also want to take a quick moment to thank the folks over at STUFF Boston Magazine and the lovely Cheryl Fenton of the Easy Peasey blog for including my love of typography in their latest Reside Column. If you want to read the entire column pop over here!

Jace Interiors New Hues

I am so excited my design company Jace Interiors was included in the "New Hues" article over at Stuff Magazine. I was asked for a color back in the spring but feel it is still relevant this fall. Mix it in with the dark grays and the oranges we are seeing all over the fall pallet and you will create a bite of brightness.

Fall always means layering to me and adding a few extra colorful covers is a perfect place to use this blue!

This room feels so cozy with the dark gray and just a hint of bright blue, plays great against the strong color




This is a fantastic application of Behr Brilliant Sea. I found this over at Bonnie Van Voorst, a new favorite blog of mine!

I have been searching for the perfect accent clock for my bedside table, this would be a great bday gift (hint hint!) found over at etsy

what a statement this jacket would make, I especially love the high collar
