Feature Friday: Vivid Hue Home

Today I am featuring the home of blogger Heather from the blog Vivid Hue Home. Her house is definitely vivid and full of color! Here is what she says she loves most about her home:

My home is my experimental canvas for design.  I love to find ways to push the limits with decorating and use elements that are unexpected.  When I think of an outrageous idea, I try to figure out where it may best work in my house.  For example, as soon as I saw Meg Braff's Kelly Green wallpaper (Up in a Tree), I knew I had to use it SOMEWHERE.  I thought that using it in the mudroom was unique because usually that area is  simply a neutral transitional space.  I wanted to have fun with it.  Another example is in my guest room.  I "had to have" the Urchin Sputnik chandelier.  That light itself is enough to make a statement in the room but I wanted to "go further" so I added the striped wallpaper to the ceiling.  For me, interior design is a representation of one's personality.  I don't think it should be taken too seriously.  Don't be afraid to mix colors and patterns.  Décor can always be changed, so have fun! 

Enjoy!

Feature Friday: Maple Leaves & Sycamore Trees

Today I am featuring the home of Kat from the blog Maple Leaves & Sycamore Trees.  Here is what she says she loves most about her home:

Even though it's simply a 1980's rancher (high five for dark paneling, brass-accented ceiling fans, and sweet linoleum flooring!), we totally love our home. Our once-teeny two bedroom house underwent a "major renovation" that was completed (well almost...) last year when we converted our two-car garage into extra living space. Best decision ever! It has really opened things up so even though it's still a small home, we don't feel cramped any more. Each room has undergone transformations. And since we're major tight-wads, not a lot of money has been spent while doing it. What we love most about our home is looking around at all our DIY projects and major Craigslist/thrift store finds and feeling a sense of accomplishment. We've all had a hand in transforming it, and that feels great. We're creating a home that reflects both Mitch and I as well as our three boys: a comfortable place that we all truly love. 

Enjoy!
