The colorful bedroom was designed by Tineke Triggs, principal of the San Francisco-based firm <a href="http://www.adlsf.com/" target="_blank">Artistic Designs for Living</a> and was part of the <a href="http://decoratorshowcase.org/" target="_blank">2014 San Francisco Decorator Showcase</a>. "Lily's Pad" (photographed here by <a href="http://www.ericrorer.com/" target="_blank">Eric Rorer</a>) is all about no boundaries...a space for a teen artist/dancer to be creative and freely express herself. The inspiration began with the blue and green rug that simulates dripping paint, a common theme found throughout the space. I love all of the gorgeous custom furnishings, artwork and lighting...and the fabulous bathroom! The custom lacquered vanity is fantastic, especially next to the tiles!

The Santa Monica, California home was designed by <a href="http://www.alisonkandler.com/" target="_blank">Alison Kandler</a>, a color-savvy interior designer inspired by traditional architecture and interior design from the 1920’s and 1930’s. The fab front door painted Bahaman Sea Blue by Benjamin Moore had me at hello, but the rest of the home has so much well-edited color and style, I'm blown away! The whimsical nursery is my favorite...love the checkerboard floor and cozy chair upholstered in Clarence House fabric!

<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://cptnrin.smugmug.com/photos/i-WxGGk6K/0/O/i-WxGGk6K.jpg" /></div><br />After the New Year begins, I am so over the cold and snow...spring cannot get here soon enough! Unfortunately here in Minnesota that usually takes a (long) while, so it's images like <a href="http://www.husohem.se/Inredning/Inredning/Inred-med-sommarkansla-aret-om--15-smarta-proffstips/#" target="_blank">this</a> from <a href="http://sannaochsania.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Sanna & Sania</a> that put me in a happy place! For the same reason I also love to fill our home with color. Out with the cozy faux fur throws, fraser fir candles and Christmas decor, in with the bright and cheery color! <br /><br />Today I have one super bright and cheery giveaway for you guys, perfect for bringing in some color during this dreary time of year! Let me first tell you how excited I am to be participating in this one.

That's the sort of thing I love to do, and the fresh, colorful pieces at Pine Cone Hill make it easy...not saying it was easy to decide! I had a ball picking out my collection....here are the pieces that I chose:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://cptnrin.smugmug.com/photos/i-7ftgX52/0/O/i-7ftgX52.jpg" /></div><br />Bright colors, a fun mix pattern, great textures...and turquoise of course–all of my favorite things! I was absolutely delighted to see it all come together after they photographed it in their studio. How fun to see something you imagined come to life! Here it is: <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://cptnrin.smugmug.com/photos/i-Tffn32r/0/O/i-Tffn32r.jpg" /></div><br />Ahhh....my dream bed for sure!
