I love Jaima’s latest collection of striped wallpaper.  Some are bold and colorful others are soft and subtle but they all radiate style and elegance.

Whether your lifestyle is casual or formal you can stripe it rich with the latest collection from Jaima Brown Home.

Currently as well as historically, the color purple evokes an aura of royalty, mystique, power, wealth and magic.

Purple reigns supreme, as togas in rich shades were worn by all the powerful Roman Emperors and it was a favorite color of Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt. Spiritually, it reflects pure thoughts and symbolizes intelligence and creativity.

The U.S. Military awards the Purple Hear, a decoration given to soldiers wounded in battle to recognize bravery.

Several hues of the purple palette include grape, lavender, lilac, orchid, plum and aubergine.

Purple commands the eye to take notice and is prevalent in home interiors today. Using softer tones as a backdrop or as an accent color brings a regal air of beauty and harmony to any decor.

While I was looking for information on removing contact paper I came across a couple of related items I want to share.

Did you know there is a Contact Paper Store? Now there is a little niche business that reminds me of the Scotch Tape Store sketch from Saturday Night Live.

I wrinkled my nose at their claim “we’ve got some great ideas for your home design!” but I browsed the site and found a Black Toile design that was interesting and then stumbled upon the fabric contact paper…okay now that might have some potential.

You can check it all out yourself at The Contact Paper Store but you have to promise me that you’ll only use it tastefully and creatively

Here’s a little inspiration to get you started. Contact paper never looked so good!

SPRINGTIME…awaken from the lull of winter, flowers bursting in brilliant array as spring comes to greet us infusing color everywhere. Florals are making a triumphant return to home fashion.

Whether you are a minimalist who loves retro styled prints or traditionalist who desires the classics, there is a floral to suit your need.

Historically, stylized floral patterns have dominated fabric prints before the 17th Century. The first illustrated book of drawings and paintings of flowers was printed in 1586. This spurred more publications of books of this nature and proliferated floral prints in design.

The four most prevalent flowers found in antique fabric documents are lilies, roses, tulips and chrysanthemums.

Take your cue from nature…energize a room with a polychromatic approach using a bit of yellow, pink, blue or green to achieve a rich saturation of color, or subtlety in your decor.

Get blooming…indoors!

RED is a sizzling color full of symbolic meanings and many hues. Whether you prefer scarlet, crimson, maroon, ruby, rose or tomato, there is a shade for everyone.

Red creates the perfect accent for any space when paired with timeless neutrals like brown or cream.

In the 18th century red garlands and scarves were part of cultural wedding ceremonies. Chinese brides wore a traditional Kwa; a heavily embroidered formal wedding gown in red and Greek brides wore red veils, which is still customary today.

In ancient history, wearing a red painted amulet, ruby or garnet supposedly made one invincible. Red signifies love, fertility, strength, good fortune, and happiness. We often see red front doors on the outside of homes across America, instilling the influence of Feng Shui.
