When I saw this shell in the sand I thought it would really stand out against the green grass. So, I moved it and took a picture. I love the contrast of the earth tone shell against the sea grass. Once again, it’s the simple photos that make the biggest impact. The photo of the shell against the grass is awe-inspiring. The combination of earth tones and green is always a great color scheme to use in your space. Try having your basic color schemes in neutrals and then use pops of green to add interest. Not only is this classic, but will give your space a chic beach look that can be enjoyed all season long.

Classic Penguins
Talk about a classic color scheme! Nothing is as classic as black and white. When I spotted this group of penguins, the classic color scheme instantly came to mind. The best part about using this theme? It can be dressed up or down! A photo like this one can be the inspiration for a dressed-down look. Try black and white pillows in a rustic pattern or dress it up with a fancy black and white lamp or side table. Which variety of this classic will you choose? Either way, your space will shine with classic elegance!
Art Deco: Lighting
Ever wanted to try something classic in your decoration? Try art deco! The key with any classic style is to not go overboard. The location where I photographed this big light fixture is a large, multi-story building. The architects kept it tasteful and low-key by only using these lights in main areas: corridors, stairwells, and hallways. By keeping this style concentrated in only certain areas, it creates a low-key, subtle elegance. Try adding an art deco-style lamp or accessory in your space for an elegant touch. Keep an eye out for my next art deco related post later this week!
There’s a Hurricane (Lamp) Coming
Personally, I love hurricane lamps! However, it can be hard to find lamps that are both in good condition and reasonably priced. I try to look for hurricane lamps that are unusual in shape in color (like the one pictured). If you’re trying to find one, don’t limit yourself to shopping at antique stores. Try flea markets, crafters’ malls, and local glass blowing studios. Whether the hurricane lamp is new or old doesn’t matter, only that it fits your personality and space. Give it a try-you’d be surprised how this classic type of lamp can fit with any decor!
