greetings and happy new year, friends! we’re back and i’m hoping you had a relaxing holiday break — at least a bit of personal downtime in what’s always a very hectic season. it rained here a lot in California and the days have been a tad gray, so i thought i’d start us off with a truly rosy glow to really rev us up this January. it’s all about those many dramatic shades of red and bits of blush — from funky tiled floors and interesting wall treatments to cozy area rugs and a red hot banquette you can’t really go wrong with any shade of red. from that perfect slash of red lipstick to rich velvets, red adds vibrancy and seems to scream “oh, hey— it’s me, and i’m bold and brave!” rosy red makes a statement to be sure, so whether you’re only prepared for a small dose of it (think throw pillow) or a sofa that’s simply covered in red, here’s a rosy glow for you.
