Baby it’s cold outside.

by Malissa McLeod Interiors, in category Decor, Uncategorized

19 degrees last night.

I grew up in the northeast. In fact, I’m a born and bred Vermonter, pronounced: [ver-mon-er]. I should be comfortable in the frigid arctic temperatures of a long, loooong winter. The truth? I’ve gone soft. After years of living in California and now five here in North Carolina…honestly… I’m cold.

Let’s warm up, shall we?

Living Etc

These chairs are the most amazing color yellow. Paired with the dark slate blue walls, you’ve got a very traditional room that feels so contemporary. In my imagination, there’s a blizzard outside that window – work and school have been cancelled, but my friends live within walking distance. We’re warm and toasty, having tea by the fire.

Tired of the same old stores this holiday?

by Malissa McLeod Interiors, in category Uncategorized

I am an obsessive list maker. There is nothing more delightful than sitting down with a big cup of coffee and setting pen to paper, recording everything from tasks to complete, on up to my goals, dreams, and aspirations. I draw pictures, use bullet points, emphasize the really important stuff with stars, and even use proper outline formatting (complete with roman numerals, letters,  & numbers…). Oh how I do love a list.

Alas…..the holiday gift list is something completely different. I sit. I wait. Nothing comes to me. I get up for more coffee.

It’s December 1st today!

To help get the wheels turning – for me and any of you who might also be struggling with the same blank piece of paper, I want to introduce you to a site called Etsy. Some of you may already know about this amazing web site full of handmade offerings like art, photography, jewelry, ceramics, and yes, even home decor! It’s like having the most beautiful craft fair at your desk. Here are just a few pretty things to get you (and me) going.

There is Still Time for Turquoise!

by Malissa McLeod Interiors, in category Uncategorized

Turquoise was (is) the color trend for 2010. Although I tend towards neutrals (with the exception of my favorite – red) and in spite of the fact that the year is winding down, I wouldn’t mind seeing this bold color, and its psychological attributes, follow us into 2011.

In many cultures, Turquoise occupies a very special position in the world of color,” explains Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “It is believed to be a protective talisman, a color of deep compassion and healing, and a color of faith and truth, inspired by water and sky. Through years of color word-association studies, we also find that Turquoise represents an escape to many – taking them to a tropical paradise that is pleasant and inviting, even if only a fantasy.

See what I mean? Who couldn’t use a bit of that?

Let’s take a look at how some designers bring in turquoise with all pistons firing…

Trend: We’ll see more color in 2011

by Malissa McLeod Interiors, in category Uncategorized

But first…

Many of you have probably seen the new look launched by Restoration Hardware this summer. It’s in their catalogues as well as in their newly remodeled retail stores. It’s a look that’s been popular for a few years now – furniture upholstered in a light shade of linen, wood that looks slightly worn or unfinished:
