Design 101 with Sarah Richardson

I've been loving Sarah Richardson's new HGTV show called Sarah 101. In each episode she completely transforms a single room from floor to ceiling, and teaches us her interior design tricks along the way. Here's an example of a transformed dark and narrow living room:



 What amazed me the most was how many different patterned fabrics she used... and so many bold ones at that. It made me realize that I really need to step out of my decor comfort zone!
So what do you think... too much colour or do you love it?

UMMMM. LOVE IT! You know I'm seriously obsessed with Sarah right!? And Tommy - don't you love Tommy too? I love how Sarah uses multiple fabrics and I'm going to try to do the same. Her rooms are never boring and always gorgeous.

Although I'm not personally a bright-colors girl, I really like all that color! Makes me want to play in it, which I guess is what a living room is for...

Getting out of your color comfort zone is hard. You want to match, right?!
