The combination of sunny yellow and subtle urbane gray continues to be a favorite of mine. In a blog here, I looked at these hues as contrasts, distinctive and specific with yellow (Dijon) as an accent for home decor and accessories. Suddenly, these hues look completely different to me, a bit softer, more subtle and a little less intense. The…
This is it!! All the files, books and client records have been neatly packed labeled and archived. Just a few left for today. I personally have gone through everything and along the way have come across things that I absolutely love creatively, emotionally, or “just like it”. I’m simply attached to them. You know? I’m sure you have things in…
A few months ago I decided not to take on additional clients and concentrate on what I really want to do in my life and vocation. My answer, develop a blogging presence, do some volunteering and begin assessing where to take Walker & Co., and how to do it. Two of the three are in place and now I am…
Hues and Cues blog started as the perfect venue for visual inspiration and a platform to opine about all things related to my interior design business, Walker&Co. So, when I started this new category “Project Peek” my thought was to post occasionally a project I was working on or had recently completed. Just a snippet. These posts are a good…
This “Blog Blockhead” as I fondly call it has been plaguing me since I relaunched Hues and Cues in April. An editorial calendar is in order and fast! This simple tool keeps me motivated and focused. So, why haven’t I done it already? Well, It’s quite the task to re-assess and re-work the 400+ blogs and essays I’ve written (since…
It’s almost Fathers day and don’t our handsome gents deserve a day to chill? Absolutely! Last year, here, I took a whole different approach to my ultimate gift guide for dad. This time, I’m thinking this is the perfect day for him to play in his bud’s annual golf tourney ( hopefully his betting pays off $$) My, hubby is…
This weekend is the official kick off to summer. Each year we all look forward to relaxing, taking the day off and sharing a BBQ, sometimes the first of the season, with our friends, family and neighbors. This year, I am reminded that this holiday has a meaningful message and that message is not very prevalent in our schools or…
The past couple weeks have been crazy busy and the blog, well, I’m getting there. In the meantime until I am on a more cohesive schedule, I thought I would share some snippets of fun projects that were in need , of me. This is a “design on a quarter”dental office, The dentist’s are wonderful woman with growing practices. In…
I love Friday mornings dedicated to reading my Feedly (mostly blogs I like) and then I scan hundreds of emails. Seriously, I play catch up. There are always interesting items that catch my eye like, Reese Witherspoon’s new site: Draper James, dedicated to all things Southern? With quips on lifestyle, shopping, food and even favorite southern expressions it’s very…
This year’s ode to Mom is luscious and sexy, pretty much how I see this special day for the woman who.. well, does it all. I love you, mom.
