Bringing Bright Home

There has been so much neon and day glo on the runway in the past year you would think everyone needed shades to attend. As I wrote in this post, I am loving this attack of bright color and most often when used in unexpected ways. 

I saw these trays by Alexandra Von Furstenberg (daughter of the extraordinary Diane) in the recent In Style magazine and fell in love with them. 

As it turns out, Alexandra has a design business that specializes in acrylic pieces for your home. These trays are a great way to bring in a modern touch and some of that neon trend to your home. Check out her site as her pieces are fantastic. 

I also found these fun canisters in bright colors and a variety of sizes. And at $9-$20, they are an easy way to brighten up without spending much. 

It is fun to find something you can live with in a trend that you are also wearing.

Stocking the Guest Room

When guests come to visit it is always hard to know exactly what makes someone feel at ease and comfortable. No matter what, you want them to have fun, enjoy their space, and get a good night's rest. I have people stay quite often and know that a few bottles of water on the nightstand and a couple of good books on the shelf go a long way. I also love the idea of mints on pillow at night, just like at a hotel. And although I do not go to the lengths of actually doing that, I keep a big jar of peppermint lifesavers on the side table. I found a few great things to make your guest's next experience a thoughtful one inspired by my guest room. In addition, I would stock the bathroom with essentials, keep a bucket or vase filled with bottles of water, add some sort of flowers to the room, and make sure there are plenty of hangers in the closet. Nice ones.
