Monochromatic Monday {Very Cherry}

Very Cherry Inspiration Board, Style Notes

Today’s inspiration board is bold simplicity with playful pops of red against a bright white background.  In contrast to the deep, dramatic reds I’ve used in other boards, this palette is bright & fun with a bit of a retro vibe.  As the holidays approach, I tend to use more touches of ruby than usual, but this combination is so light & cheery it can easily translate to parties of every season.  Patterned paper jazzes up chocolate bars, baker’s twine lends rustic charm to an invitation suite, and rows of cherries are an eye-catching addition to an ice cream sundae bar.  Isn’t it amazing how a little red goes such a long way?

    Lately I have been craving warm cherry pie, and now here you are.

    It is so fresh and tart and good, a little goes a long way.
