Bright Bold and Beautiful : Lilac and Grey

Cara of Lilac and Grey is the next host in my BB&B guest post series,

"What is bright, bold, and beautiful to you?" Thank you Cara!

Hello dolls! It's Cara from Lilac and Grey. I was over the moon excited when Laura asked me to be in her series: What is Bright, Bold and Beautiful to me? I have to say, it was hard to narrow down all of the options that were running through my head. I have folders upon folders of "inspiration" that I could go on, and on for days! Here are my top picks...

Bright: I adore natural light (and lots of it) in interior spaces. The natural sunlight that these floor to ceiling windows bring into this space offer a warm and natural glow that no table lamp or chandelier could ever deliver.

Bold: If you want to make a BOLD move in an interior space add a large

piece of original art- a great conversation starter!

Beautiful: I have always been in-tune to nature, and love to be outdoors as much as possible. Having a beautiful outdoor space with a lovely landscaped and well-kept garden is as beautiful as it can get!

I could sit here all day long and never ever leave!

Thank you Laura, for inviting me to be a part of this wonderful series on your fabulous blog!

Hi there! I am Tara Lauren from Lauren Lane Décor and I was so honored when Laura invited me to be a part of this series. Bright, Bold, & Beautiful immediately caused me to think about how I am redecorating my main floor. I have been scouring magazines, books, and the web for items and inspiration – this blog being one of them!

Bright Pillows! Bright pillows can make such a difference!

Bold - A bold rug is at the top of my shopping list!

Nothing makes me happier than beautiful Peonies!

Bright Bold and Beautiful : A Thoughtful Place

Courtney of A Thoughtful Place is the next host in my BB&B guest post series,

"What is bright, bold, and beautiful to you?" Thank you Courtney

Hi there! I am Courtney from A Thoughtful Place and I was so honored when Laura invited me to be a part of this fantastic series. Bright, Bold, & Beautiful immediately caused me to think about Tobi Fairley. She is a designer based out of Little Rock, Arkansas. Her dedication to bold colors and prints has captivated me from the first time I saw one of her spaces. There is something so enticing about her bold sense of style. Here is a look at her very own home which was recently featured in Traditional Home. I am most struck by her attention to detail and amazing mix of pattern and texture.

Now that's a playroom! My daughter would simply flip over the use of pink in this room. As for me, I love to incorporate bold patterns with a touch of nature. Living in Southern California affords us the chance to be outside most of the year. I love the feeling of bringing the outdoors in to many of my spaces. Here is a peek at our dining room as well as an adjacent patio.

The most beautiful part of any design is the feeling that it evokes. I treasure the times spent with my children and husband in our home. Even better are the relaxing summer mornings drinking coffee and listening to the kiddos play. There is nothing more bright, bold, or beautiful than that sound. Laura, thank you so much for letting me spend time over at your gorgeous blog. Such a treat.

Thanks for having me over here at your lovely blog, Laura! I am thrilled to share what is bright, bold, and beautiful to me. Narrowing down all of the images that originally came to mind wasn't as easy as I thought it would be, but it was fun! Here are my favorites that I think perfectly represent all three qualities.
