PREPPY VINEYARD VINES ROOM
PREPPY VINEYARD VINES ROOM . I LOVE THIS! NOT TOO MUCH, JUST ENOUGH!
……I think too much of any ONE thing….whether it be a color or a style is not nearly as much fun as a more eclectic approach to life….and when I think of PREPPY in terms of interiors, what comes to mind are all of the same things I like about Preppy clothing –

….they are  “classic”, “Traditional”, “colorful” and most of all relaxed without being messy.

I think  Preppy elements EXIST in many rooms which would not consider themselves Preppy….and thats okay…who wants to be labeled anyway!

BEING THE COLOR JUNKIE THAT I AM…I AM RATHER OBSESSED WITH NOT ONLY COLORS BUT COLORS IN PROXIMITY TO OTHER COLORS…HOW THOSE MARRIAGES OF COLOR MAKE US FEEL AND WHAT THEY COMMUNICATE..

DO YOU HAVE PREPPY ELEMENTS IN YOUR HOME?

  1. Kelly Green is one of my favourite colours to decorate with but man, is it ever hard to find accessories that are the right shade! I wanted to reupholster a chair in Kelly Green and could not find a fabric… Happy to see it is coming out more. I like to pair it with Navy but also soft bluey grey, like BMGrey Owl…

  2. Thank you Lesli-looking through this post is the best way to start my day! I am a preppy at heart having grown up outside of Boston and spending a lot of time on the Cape, Nantucket and the Vineyard – doesn’t get any preppier than that! I am so inspired to bring more of these beautiful colors into my home – thank you!

  3. The blend of pink and green in some of these photos remind me so much of Lilly Pulitzer’s works! Her designs are extremely popular with the sorority crowds these days. No wonder this look feels so…preppy! Love.

  4. Beautiful rooms, thank you. More importantly how is your house sale going? We just went through the stress of selling so I wonder how it’s going for you and your family.

  5. I am building a small cottage and I am using a preppy color scheme. My sofa will be kelly green and the chairs will be slip covered in a gorgeous paisley with hot pink teal and green. The tile around the fireplace are navy and the kitchen island is also navy. What do you think of hot pink walls? Will that be too much, too crazy? The pink would go up the stairs where I plan to hang a Japanese kimono with red, pink, green and blue. Lamps will be blue and white chinoiserie. The kitchen is all white with the exception of the island. I would greatly appreciate your thoughts as you are the preppy queen!
