design inspiration: lupita nyong'o blue and gold

on Monday, i posted about lupita nyong'o at the oscars.  her dress!!!  oh, that color...i am still in awe with that blue.  i am calling it lupita nyong'o blue for now. 

so smitten i am that i created a mood board using her dress and the setting surrounding her  (the towering gold ocsar statue in the background, minus the lovely raspberry carpet) as inspiration.  have a wonderful weekend.  ♥dana   

Love, Love, Love this Outdoor Chair for the Summer

My heart pitter-patters for this Serena & Lily chair!  I am so ready for Summer, planning a picnic with Liam and Alex today inspired my post.  A pair of these with the blue table and wonderful, Highland knot saffron pillows creates the perfect outdoor nook to share a glass of lemonade with a friend.  Or, choose the green and white chevron pillows from Joss and Main with the natural, teak table for a completely different look.  Grab the blue table today only for $38.99 from Overstock.  Much Love and Happy Ch'i, Dana
