Dueling Designers Part Treize

Wilhelmina Cooper for Vogue 1962


LOVE must be in the air this month..
The lovely and talented Miss Amy Graver poked me last week and reminded me that it's been a very very long time since the Dueling Designers had made an appearance...
You know what...she was absolutely right!
The last one was way back in June of 2011!! 

So in honor of THE day of LOVE, Valentine's Day..

We picked

The Fabulous Miss Amy Graver picked a gorgeous palette of warm and cool fuschias mixed with a sophisticated black!

Can that cake look ANY more delicious?!!

For me, being able to work with pink was a dream....

since I just so happen to be surrounded by men...

I simply chose a palette which started at red, moved to fuschia, softened to the lightest of pinks and finally grounded by grey.

So put on those shades...

because these Dueling Designers are gonna brighten your day and warm your heart

on this perfectly perfect

Day of Hearts!!

Thursdays are for Mood Boards...Bond...Anna Bond..

If you haven't figured it out by now, then you must know that I am deeply enamored (or possibly in love) with Anna Bond of Rifle Design. Now I don't know this lovely lady....yet...But I can tell you that since missing her at the National Stationery Show last year, as Miss Amy Graver and I thought it clever to go sans map, this year I will certainly not let that happen again!!

Always in decorating mode, I stumbled upon these beautiful fabrics and wallpapers by Nina Campbell for Osborne & Little.  I couldn't quite figure out why I was soooo enthralled by them. 

Then it hit me...hard....

They were completely Anna Bondish! I can't even begin to tell you how much it makes me swoon when she paints with black...

So in honor of Miss Bond....

Thursdays are for Mood Boards...New Year's Eve 2011

Paris When it Twinkles by French Essence

Today is a momentous occasion as it will be my very first true blue Mood Board on Glitter, Glue and Fireflies. With that being said, I couldn't help but bring in the New Year with a very exciting, new and important color, Honeysuckle by Pantone. Pantone has chosen Honeysuckle as their color of the year for 2011. Now, one might look at this color and think Spring but not here at GGF. In honor of one of my favorite Sparkling Wines at Sparkling Pointe Vineyards, Topaz, I figured a New Year's Eve board was exactly what we needed! Pink, Black, White and Glittery Metallics are the perfect combo for a momentous occasion such as New Year's Eve. So dust off those Tuxes, pour that pink bubbly and strap on your glitteriest of shoes for a night to remember!
