Pineapple of My Eye

Jun 8, 2018

You probably already know that a pineapple is the traditional symbol to show "welcome." What I didn't know was why the pineapple symbolized that. Apparently the fruit symbolizes those intangible things that we love about our home: warmth, friendship and hospitality. I'm still not really sure why a pineapple represents those things because it seems kind of prickly to me. But, there ya go.

When my friend Kathryn was visiting a few weeks ago from Scotland, she was telling me about decorating her guest bedroom and how she really wanted a pineapple for her guest bedroom. Ever since she said that to me, pineapples are popping up everywhere! And since it is summer and pineapples are fun and bright, I thought a post about them was timely.

Here's a quick round up of some fun pineapple themed goods for your home:

The Art of Layering Lighting

A thoughtfully furnished room can still feel flat or unfinished if the lighting has not been carefully considered. Too often, a single overhead fixture is expected to do all the work. While it may provide general illumination, it rarely creates the warmth, depth, and flexibility that make a space truly inviting. Just as we layer textures, finishes, and materials in a well-designed interior, we must also layer light.

How to Choose The Right Sized Rug

Besides instantly softening and cozying a space, rugs are needed to ground a room, define spaces, and quietly set the tone for how every other detail comes together. Typically, I'll start scheming spaces, starting with a rug as a jumping off point - it truly can make or break a space. Invest in as high-quality rug as you can afford - synthetic ones have a cheaper price tag but also a shorter shelf life whereas a natural fiber like wool may cost a little more up front, but i

Picking The Perfect Paint Finish

Selecting paint colors gets all the attention, but choosing the right paint finish can be just as important and it is something that I get asked about a lot. The finish determines how the color reads in your space, how well the walls hold up to daily life, and the overall mood of the room. It can be the perfect complement to the textiles and finishes you already have, creating a cohesive and layered look. It can also become a bold statement on its own, adding shine, depth, or
