Bright Blue & Pink

As a person who loves color, I find spaces with a palette of bright pinks and blues to be lively and uplifting.

Megan Mullally's Home

My favorite feature in the latest issue of Elle Decor, is that of Megan Mullally's (Karen Walker!) Hollywood home. A quick look:

In the dining room, I love the idea of using Suzani panels to add interest and color to the walls.

I love that the accessories bring in fun punches of color in the living room...

...and in the breakfast room. When the room is otherwise pretty neutral it doesn't take a lot to make a high impact.

In the bedroom I love the simplicity of the decor...

...the floor-to-ceiling windows (and the gorgeous light they bring in!) make the room.

Last but not least, her pups are so incredibly adorable! I wonder if they go to a local LA dog park...I think they'd get along with Little Foot :-)
