Studio Tour: Dear Colleen

Check out the latest studio tour over at Decor8 - currently featuring the awesome creative space that belongs to Colleen of Dear Colleen! The girl definitely knows how to put together an awesome space on a tiny budget. Great stuff! Oh, and if the pink office chair looks familiar, that's because it was upholstered by the esdesign team many moons ago!

Thanks Colleen for the heads up!

No Rules Friday

So often people get hung up on the idea of presenting one clear, cohesive style, trend or color palette in an interior. There are certainly appropriate times and places for this, but it can be just as fun to throw the 'rules' out the window and surround yourself with the things you love, that you've collected and that you've made. This home in Rio is the perfect example of putting together things simply because...you can!
