Jessica Helgerson Home Tour

I am a HUGE fan of Jessica Helgerson designs! I would love a day to just follow her around, and see how she makes the magic happen! So imagine my excitement when I came across her very home. It is so charming and gorgeous - like it could be anything but gorgeous!

I can't help but gush over this house, from the very adorable porch with the swing, the beautiful tree, and green roof. It is brimming with charm!

You are just gonna have to bear with me, because I have turned into a total design nerd! Oh look at that bookshelf with the ladder, the daybeds, wood floor and all that light!

You might remember this kitchen from this post.

I never tire of such images of al fresco dining in a gorgeous environment like this - under a huge old tree, is a ginormous cherry on top of the cake.

It looks like such a homey home, the perfect kinda house! It looks beautiful and lived in, just like a home should be! Her work always leaves me inspired.

Is Neon the New Black?

Okay, that is definitely a crazy question, but neon seems to be everywhere, and I never thought I'd say this, but I am really loving it. It is always inspiring to see a new and fresh use given to something familiar.  I have been spotting the neon trend in interiors for a while, and recently in fashion too, and me likey.

Don't you love how soft neon looks in these pictures? Neon is usually loud and obnoxious, but it's so quiet, yet very much front and center in these spaces - beautiful. The pairing with the soft peach and natural woods is a beautiful combination!

The unexpected use of neon in this traditional kids room is such a clever twist. It brings in a great pop and excitement to the room.  Would you use neon in your bedroom ? Or any other room in your house?
I like the pop of neon blue ties on the pillows.

I absolutely love the neon painted door! What a brilliant way to add color to your home. I also love the contrast of the dark interiors with the bold neon. It is great to see how well neon works in both the bright, and the dark spaces.

Are you loving these as much as I am? See anything you like? Are you seeing this fun and crazy hue in a completely new light? I am!

Aphrochic

I have been a fan of Aphrochic for a while now. I can't lie, I was first attracted to a photo of theirs featuring a gorgeous lady, and little girl sporting some enviable fros. That drew me in, and their beautiful, colorful, products kept me hooked.

Jeanine Hays the Creative Director and founder of Aphrochic, was a former attorney who after starting an interior design blog, by the same name eventually pursued her love of it. There is a vibrancy, and exotic flair to the products that I completely adore - from their wallpaper, pillows, to dining linens.

Loving this set up, the Morccan blanket always adds a little extra to any room. I like it's use as a rug here.

I like the sketched figures and colors of these table linens, it makes it all so fun and not too serious. I get the same vibe from all the products.  Nothing is too serious, but definitely holds true to the name - they are all kinds of chic!
