I’ve noticed a common theme in many of the images I’ve been pinning lately. I’ve been majorly gravitating toward rainbow color palettes. Its sort of an extension of the ombre trend, but dialing it up a bit by transitioning between multiple colors rather than multiple tones of one color. Here are some examples of what I’ve been ogling lately:

This ottoman is insane. I want something in my house to have rainbow tufting immediately, if not sooner. I might have to dream up a DIY based on this.

This print is very colorful and fun!

I love wrapping gifts in simple kraft paper and using interesting ribbon, tape, etc to add some interest. This is such an easy, and seriously cute idea!

This pillow is on my “want now” list. It’s also available as a kidney pillow.

It’s all very cheerful, don’t you think?

Over the weekend, the latest issue of Anthology magazine arrived in my mailbox.  It was perfect timing too because we were just heading out to relax at the park, so its arrival solved my “what should I bring to read?” dilemma.  Anyway, the latest issue is all about art – both artists and collectors – and has some really fantastic content!

I was definitely happy to see the article about artist, Britt Bass. I was first exposed to her work through Instagram. I don’t even remember how exactly, but you know how it goes on IG, you start clicking around and before you know it, you’ve stumbled upon some really cool people and images! After following her on IG for the past few months, it was cool to see this article highlighting her beautiful work. AND, she even created an exclusive painting just for this issue of Anthology which is printed on the back cover of the magazine. The article explains “it was designed to be cut out and framed, or simply propped up and displayed.” What a cool idea! I’m totally going to frame mine!
