by

As you can see, there are more ways than one to incorporate Pantone’s “Color of the Year” into your home! An invigorating reddish pink, Honeysuckle is especially well-suited as an accent color, or you could go all out and cover your walls with it like the glamorous dressing room in our Color issue.

What do you think of honeysuckle? Too bright or just right?

1. Update your dining chairs with honeysuckle paint

2. Give your dressing room a glamorous makeover

3. Live large with a graphic new rug

4. Throw your tulips in a Kate Spade vase

5. Set the table with hand-blown glassware

6. Stash your family photos in a chic canvas case

7. Expand your vocab with a fashionable dictionary

8. Make a statement with a bright pink rug

We love a win-win! Inspired by the success of the “Cash for Clunkers” program, the U.S. Department of Energy will launch a “Cash for Appliances” program this fall, providing nearly $300 million in stimulus funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to consumers who purchase new energy-efficient kitchen appliances. We included a roundup of some of the newest products in our Kitchen and Bath issue. Got a clunker in the kitchen? Think about switching out to one of these instead. https://athomearkansas.com/At-Home-Arkansas/September-2009/Ready-Set-Renovate/

Here’s one of my favorites. She’s incorporated some good tips too in her posts this week for creating functional yet pretty family rooms.

White Hot Products from ICFF

Art director Mandy Keener’s white hot picks from ICFF.

1. This clever bookcase by Jordi Mila is a graphic way to display your art
books . 2. Feeling a little loopy? American white wood “Agatha” pendant by
Global Lighting. 3. Henry Hall Designs’ Vintage chaise invites one to grab a
cocktail and stay for awhile. 4. Hung in clusters with LED light, Molo’s
Cloud Softlight makes a bold statement. 5. Beware: Robots are everywhere.
Add a little quirkiness to your home with the Robot by Seletti.

If I Were a Kid…

by

It seems art director Mandy Keener is a child at heart. In light of our August Family Homes issue (now online), here’s what she has to say about decorating a kid’s room…her way.

I was fortunate to have parents that let me decorate my room as a youngster. I don’t think that hand-painted light switches or entire walls converted into collages were what they had in mind though. At one point, my closet even became an “office” for my book about saving the dolphins and whales. Things have changed since then. Kids have way cooler design elements these days.

Here are a few that I would have totally incorporated into my space:

1. Inspiration from this kid-cool book, Tiny Art Director by Bill Zeman. 2. Rainy day? No problem with this Hopscotch rug from CB2. 3. Love illustrations and it’s a whale (would have been great for my book), available at Binth.com. 4. Framed wallpaper from The Land of Nod; any creative kid and/or adult would savor this! 5. From serif to sans serif to script, notNeutral keeps the ABC’s font-tastic with these building blocks. 6. Numbers are cool too! Especially with this limited print from milkmoonkids.com. 7. I could totally rock out to my Alvin & the Chimpmunks records in this Buttercup Rocker by Blu Dot.

At Home’s (Colorful Kid’s) Room of the Week, designed by Tobi Fairley

Room of the Week 9.07.10

by

For today’s pick: a beautiful bath, introduced at KBIS 2010 (the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show), which was held in Chicago.

This was my favorite room from the hundreds of media images I reviewed in putting together our new product picks for our September Kitchen and Bath issue. When I saw this Kohler tub, which has a BubbleMassage feature (you have to read about it to appreciate it, but it sounds heavenly…), I was ready for a soothing soak.

Seeing the new products introduced each year is always a treat, a preview to what we might see in showrooms and homes in the future. And the shots that show the products in room settings are especially inspiring, a different look than we might find locally. Like this MTI Whirlpool Lydia bath–I loved the look of the tile run on the vertical instead of the usual horizontal.

Or this striking black and white bath, with a geometric Petra tub from MTI Whirlpool. The way the black and white tile was inset in the shower–and how it complements the floor–caught my eye.

Next year’s KBIS is slated for Las Vegas–and thanks to our Traveling Designer, Tobi Fairley, we have choice hotels and restaurants all ready for you to start booking.
