<div style="color: #444444;">
I can't say enough how important a role fashion plays into my daily life as designer, artist and mom. My favorite designers constantly serve as inspiration and feed my creativity which is why I was so excited to visit The Met's new exhibit - <i><b> </b></i><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_256115234"><i><b>Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations. </b></i></a></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
The exhibition features imagined conversations between these two iconic designers and explores the similarities between their work despite the fact that Schiaperelli designed in Paris from the '20s through the '50s during the Surrealist movement and Prada, associated with Postmodernism, was just beginning in 1978.</div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
</div>
<span style="color: #444444;">What does this all have to do with interior design? It is my desire to create modern and "present" interiors which have historical references. Like Prada and Schiaparelli I'm always inspired by what came before. Besides, I love beautiful things as I hope you do. Here ares some of my favorite images from the exhibit!</span><br />

I have a secret love of cowboys and country music. One of my favorite events held each year in Calgary, Alberta is the<a href="http://www.calgarystampede.com/" target="_blank"><span class="ecxApple-converted-space"> </span>Calgary Stampede </a>which celebrated its 100th anniversary this year. Several years ago, we were hosted by our<span class="ecxApple-converted-space"> dear </span>Canadian friends and had an experience we will never forget. Here are a couple of memories from years past. </div>

For me there's no better place to celebrate the fourth of July (while earning some much needed rest and relaxation) than Nantucket. From the climbing roses and weathered, shingled, beachfront homes to the laid-back atmosphere and family feel, Nantucket is where I love to call home (at least for a few wonderful summer weeks). Of course this time of year, it seems everywhere I turn in my beloved coastal town, I'm surrounded by inspiration. Nantucket pulls off red, white and blue like no other. Here are some fun shots I took this week.</div>

Being known as a lover of color, I'm often asked to name my favorite hue. And while I'm a true believer that we all have a color story that speaks through us, choosing an absolute fave for ME would be nearly impossible. With that said, there are a few shades I come back to over and over again,<span style="color: #444444;"> turquoise</span> being one of them. It's such a versatile color - it can be happy and bright in a living room, chic and serene in a dressing room and cutting edge in a kitchen. Here are a few of my favorite spaces - some of them from my very own home. </div>

<span style="color: #444444;">One of the easiest way to freshen a room is to change the accent pillows. The pop of turquoise against the chocolate sofa makes my den come alive. I still love how it looks!</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444;">With summer officially here I'm feeling more blue than usual - happily so! I'm dreaming of clear skies, walks along Nantucket's beautiful beaches and hydrangeas in full bloom. And when it comes to interiors, my mind wanders to that blue and white beach house we'd all love to consider our home away from home. Sometimes the biggest impacts are in the simplest color combos and in this case the classic, crisp, nautical feel of blue and white is what I'm loving this week. Here are a few favorite rooms ...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>I love these relaxed, slip-covered couches paired with this modern, graphic rug and a splash of tangerine.</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #444444;">It's never enough to simply love a color, you need to incorporate into your life! From an encompassing experience to a pop on your table top, here are my five faves this week!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1<b> - Watercolor Wallpaper </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444;">I used this incredible watercolor wallpaper in a recent showhouse (stay tuned next month for all of the details). </span><a href="http://www.blackcrowstudios.com/" target="_blank">Black Crow Studios</a><span style="color: #444444;"> creates these custom papers unique to each customer. A great discovery! See it in my <a href="http://www.ekbinteriors.com/LocationStudioHours.aspx" target="_blank">store front</a></span> <span style="color: #444444;">right now!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
<b> 2 - Lavender China</b><br />
<div style="color: #444444;">
I adore this <a href="http://www.michaelcfina.com/tableware/formal-china/banded/william-yeoward-avington-lavender-CHWIYEAVLA.html" target="_blank">Avington Lavender</a> place setting from William Yeoward. The color adds a modern twist while the gold bands keep it a bit traditional. If you're not up for the whole set, buy just the dessert plates - I love mixing china patterns!</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>3 - A Moody Hue</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #444444; text-align: left;">
Benjamin Moore's Sleepy Hollow is a gorgeous color especially for your living room. Click here to see how I describe the moody hue in this month's issue of House Beautiful.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>4 - Luxurious Fabric</b></div>
<span style="color: #444444;">I always love finding new ways to use my favorite fabrics and all of the different shades in my <a href="http://www.duralee.com/fabrics/colorway.php?Colorway_id=513" target="_blank">Duralee line </a>make it easy. I can picture bedroom curtains in this lavender floral, dining room chairs in this periwinkle paisley and some gorgeous throw pillows for a guess room in this magenta, pink and green pattern.</span><br />

It goes without saying that I was deeply saddened when the design legend passed away on March 29th. To me he was so much more than an American icon, he was a teacher from afar and I have always been a great admirer of his work.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444;">Knowing my love of color you'd think it would be difficult for me to choose a favorite, but anyone who is familiar with my work knows that my passion for purple rises above all others! The color in itself can be moody and romantic, flirty and feminine, playful and daring or regal and bold all depending on the hue you choose. From amethyst to aubergine, eggplant, violet, magenta and everything in between, the color is so multi-faceted it deserved to be featured throughout the month of May. Here are some great color combos and purple places I'm passionate for!</span></div>

I just came back from an exciting (and exhausting) week at High Point Market. For those of you who don't know, it's the largest furnishings industry trade show in the world and where I count on finding inspiration for future projects. I love going - it gets my creative juices flowing and I always find myself in sensory overload - so many fabulous pieces, so little time! Of course I always walk away with a few faves - items I can picture in a client's home or my <a href="http://www.ekbinteriors.com/LocationStudioHours.aspx" target="_blank">showroom (which you really must visit)!</a> Here are the five dreamiest from this year's market. Enjoy!</div>

And while I can certainly help you create a complete look, you can tap into your inner designer by simply adding a yellow throw pillow which can transform a space. In these rooms I instantly added some sunshine to a blue and purple palette.</span><br />

</tbody></table><div style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I've had many clients over the years who want to use yellow in their homes but don’t know where to begin. I'm sure many of you can relate. This is where I step in - I can transform an inspiration or idea into a bold statement in an actual space. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Yellow need not be an editorial color alone. It CAN work in YOUR home if you follow these tips!</span></div><br />
<b style="color: #f1c232;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">*** Hi Yellow, Nice to Meet You …</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;">Take it slow with this bright hue. Start to get to know yellow through your accessories. Introduce it into your home through <b style="color: #f1c232;">pillows</b>, artwork and floral arrangements (there’s nothing like a large arrangement of yellow tulips in a predominately white room). One bright yellow pillow can add a shock of color to a space allowing you to not only step back and watch how it interacts with its environment, but to be entertained by the effect it has on your room. </span><br />

</tbody></table><span style="color: #444444;">With spring in full force I’ve decided to dedicate the month of April to the sunniest shade! And while yellow is absolutely optimistic and always makes me smile, it can also be mellow and laid back and peak my curiosity.</span> <br />
<div style="color: purple;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #351c75;"><b>A Moody Hue</b></div><span style="color: #444444;">Bright, happy yellows are sure to radiate joy and breathe life into any room, while <b><span style="color: #bf9000;">mustard tones</span></b> inspire a more sophisticated space that set the course for a jewel-toned palette. </span><br />

<span style="color: #444444;">If you are scared to give yellow a go, try using it as an accent color – a little can go a long way. Whether you choose a moody hue or something saturated and sunny, yellow will add a modern touch to any home. </span><br />

</tbody></table><div style="color: #444444;">It’s no secret that I often look to fashion for inspiration - I love the challenge of transforming a runway look into an inspired interior. This season I’ve been dying to incorporate the latest trend in style - <span style="color: magenta;">NEON</span> into my design repertoire. <br />
<br />
I decided to create a chic pool house! Like I’m sure you do, I’ve got summer on my mind and can’t seem to kick the idea of creating a glamorous oasis in my own backyard (you’ll remember I designed the pool house at the <a href="http://eileenkathrynboyd.blogspot.com/2011/07/2011-hampton-decorator-show-house.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #bf9000;">2011 Hamptons Decorator Show House</span></a><span style="color: #bf9000;">). </span><br />
I hope this slightly fantastical space makes you feel rejuvenated and inspired. <br />

<span style="color: #674ea7;">Mix Tones and Textures</span><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">:</span> </span> In this space, I made raffia and grass cloth work with bold, shiny, neon hues.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">Find Inspiration in Unexpected Places:</span><span style="color: #674ea7;"> </span><span style="color: #444444;">The show-stopper here is the design on the far wall of my pool house created by layering neon orange, pink and yellow duct tape in a zig- zag pattern. Look </span>for design elements at your local <a href="http://www.homedepot.com/" target="_blank">hardware</a> and <a href="http://www.michaels.com/" target="_blank">craft</a> stores. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"></span><span style="color: #674ea7;">Give Something Old a New Face: </span>Take your tables and chairs to your local auto body shop and have them powder coated or spray painted with a bright new color for a fresh and fabulous look.<br />

Caesarstone is a quartz surface manufacturer – think counter and table tops and bathroom and kitchen surfaces. I’ve created a mood board (a collection of inspiring images and objects) using Caesarstone’s newest palette as my inspiration. It’s my job to put an EKB spin on this classic material and to convey the feeling and flavor of the room I’ve designed around this basic surface. You won’t believe how I've transformed this material into the centerpiece of a vibrant, whimsical, modern space. My inspiration: <span style="color: magenta;">NEON</span>!<br />
Check back Thursday to see my mood board and how I breathed some life into Caesarstone's newest surface.<br />
