New Pantone Colors and How They Are Made!

Gift Registries Make It Easy!!!

You have just set the date for your wedding and are so excited to start your new life.  A wonderful tool in helping your guests for your showers and wedding gifts is getting registered at a retailer who has a wedding program.  
Most major retailers have a wedding registry program and it usually comes with some great benefits for the engaged couple as well.  It is an excellent way for you to get exactly what you want, to add or delete items, to gather the gift givers information for thank you notes and in the end save you time with not having to return duplicate or unneeded items.  Williams Sonoma and Pottery Barn are two very popular destinations for young couples to register with and everyone loves a gift card so you can always consider that as well.  They have many items that can be monogrammed  with your new married initials which is always exciting.
Celebrating a big birthday, baby shower, bridal shower or any other gift giving celebration ...register and make it easy for everyone!!

Twelve Great Points Towards Success!!

Meet Kate Somerville!!

Today I had the opportunity to meet Kate Somerville who's skin care line I just love.  Kate is the founder of the renowned Skin Health Experts Clinic in West Hollywood and author of Complexion Perfection and her skin care line which Neiman Marcus carries is in my opinion one of the best on the market!

Kate cares deeply about her clients and is wholeheartedly committed to improving their complexions. Thus, it comes as no surprise that her line of Clinic-developed and tested products produce remarkable real-world results.  Kate was telling me about writing her book and in 10 weeks transforming clients skin in a most remarkable way. 

But that’s not the only reason that the most photographed faces in Hollywood trust their skin to Kate. It’s also because Kate Somerville products are:

• Made using the highest quality ingredients on the market with proven efficacy
• Clinically tested and proven in the elite Kate Somerville Skin Health Experts Clinic
• Formulated with a unique blend of scientifically advanced actives, nourishing botanical & natural fruit enzymes
• Prestigious award winners, such as Allure’s “Best Of Beauty,”
• Never tested on animals
• Made in the USA

Kate's newest product is DermalQuench Liquid Lift which is an advanced wrinkle treatment you can do right at home.  This fantastic product produces both immediate and long-term results....and the key word here is results.  How many times have we all purchased products the never deliver whatever their claims are?  With these products you won't find that.  This product combats signs of aging wrinkles, sagging skin and uneven skin tone, resulting in a complexion that appears younger, more hydrated and healthier.
Kate is going to be at Neiman Marcus Willow Bend in Plano, Texas this Friday, April 27th and will be doing classes at 11 am and 2 pm. Please phone Gina at NM and come and meet this amazing entrepreneurial woman!!!  Her product line is called Kate Somerville.

Spring is in the Air!!

Spring is the time of year that always makes people eager to freshen up the house and change things up a bit. From a new, decorative paint color to a pretty wall covering there really is no shortage of chic ways to energize your rooms. Teal or turquoise is a trend in both fashion and home. I like the way it plays well with neutrals so it is easy to incorporate into almost any room. A gorgeous color is Benjamin Moore's Teal Ocean.
Look for pillows, tabletop, lamps , tiles and furniture with this shade and enjoy it's calming qualities!

Just got an idea...you know all that dark wrought iron accessories you may have around the house ....run to Michael's and get yourself a spray can of this color and start updating your look! This is where I get in trouble...I start to spray wicker, pots etc...just about anything I can get my hands on. So go have fun!!

Pottery Barn just got in some gorgeous turquoise dishes and other table top items you might like to check out.

DIFFA'S Annual Dining by Design Event NYC

DIFFA'S famous fundraiser was recently held at the Architectural Digest Home and Design Show. As you can see by these photographs it was a feast for the eyes and no detail was missed. From Ralph Lauren, Kravet and other top designers the show was a major success. This event held in NYC is their signature event but other major cities hold their own as well. DIFFA is Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS and their recent fundraiser here in Dallas two weeks ago was as always, a sellout!!

Good Question...What is the Right Finish??

After you have picked out your paint color you now need to choose the right finish. Sheen levels impact both the aesthetic and functional aspects of a room. They affect the amount of light reflected from the painted surface, hiding or highlighting imperfections and influencing the color.

A flat or matte finish provides excellent depth of color and is ideal for imperfect surfaces. Flat is also the preferred sheen for ceilings because of its non reflective qualities.

Eggshell sheen imparts a soft polished glow and provides an easy to clean surface that is perfect for high traffic areas.

A satin finish combines excellent durability with an understated sheen that is perfect for trim and walls where you don not desire the full sheen on a semi-gloss.

Semi-gloss is particularly durable and stand ups to repeated cleanings which is a must for moldings and trim. Its smooth sheen provides a beautiful frame to a matte or eggshell wall.

When in doubt check with your designer or painter to help you make these decisions.
