{Love it.} Ok, my 6-year-old niece just did the cutest thing, and so that means another blog post for you guys, today.  Wheeee!  Ok, here’s what she said:

Happy Thursday, my friends.  I just escorted a HUGE bug to the other side of the street, and it was disgusting.  Though my 6-year-old niece and 3-year old nephew seem to think it’s “cooooooool” which I get, but my niece in particular kept calling it “pretty.”  Pretty?  It was an inch and a half (for [...]

Totally in love with these two sets of dreamy shots by one fabulous board creator, Niki :D.  Of the first set, I’m obsessed with the goldfish shot, and the color of that fence in the upper right-hand corner makes my brain tingle with joy.  Truly brilliant coloring tends to have that effect on me.  (Yeah, [...]

When I saw this on Hostess with the Mostess, I started trembling. It is kind of the most awesome thing I’ve seen, and I’ve seen tons of things.  Not to mention – and I’m a little unsure of whether or not I should admit this, but – I’ve never even seen the show Gossip Girl. Oh, [...]

I love this idea… it’s something I’ve always wanted to do with the many lovely photos of my mother that my dad has taken over time.  This one’s from Cindy Russell, of her mother.  … Always loved that he took those photos.  So sweet, such a deep expression of love.  I’m joyous that they exist, [...]

During one of my sojourns in the land of Etsy,  I stumbled upon a bounty of colorific creations being sold by paintallnightstudios, a darling little paint shop.  The images below, painted by Robert David Bretz, are a just a handful of the many lovely works of art I found to be so inspiring that I [...]

About a year ago, as we were walking the streets of lower Manhattan on our way to lunch, future hubby drew my attention to a brand new residential high-rise on our left.  It was a very modern structure, and only two colors coated its walls, which were made entirely of brick.  The colors?  Grey and [...]

I’ve got inspiration coming out of my ears, today.  But it’s all landing safely onto the pages of this blog, so no messy cleanup required… and, in my opinion, it just keeps getting better (if I do say so myself!).  I happen to obsess over the colors… er, color… in this next board. By the [...]

Really loving on yellow, today.  Can you tell?  :) Below, I brought together a few different shades of yellow; sorbet, gold and buttercream (mmm… it just melts off the tongue when you say that out loud).  Against the browns of a paper lunch bag, serving tray or card stock, any of these yellow shades will [...]

The seasons are changing.  It’s dreary, grey and a bit bare outside today, with yellowed leaves snapping off their trees and coasting on the brisk winds that took them.  It begs the question here at tKB: sad, cold day… or uniquely inspiring color palette?  The latter, of course! I worked up the below after some [...]

Gold can do so much for decor, bringing excitement and shimmer to what’s otherwise a bore.  (Hehe.)  Here, we’ve compiled a whole bunch of photos with a single common theme: gold leaf.  Some are barely touched by the mesmerizing foil, others engulfed by its rich, delicate shimmer.  I think it looks SPECTACULAR on EVERYTHING! What [...]

My inspiration for this board came from the striking blue sky that glows behind party-goers while they admire a newly married couple in their first dance together as husband and wife.
