favorite paint colors in this palette
Although there is snow out my window,
Spring has Sprung! With the warmer weather on the horizon, I've chosen my favorite warm weather color combining.  I love decorating with Black, Blue & White bringing spring and summer to my home. Adding black to the traditional blue and white combination gives the palette a bit of edge.  See more blue finds at Dot & Bo.  Let's take a look at some of my top black, blue & white pieces from a fabulous online shopping site, Dot & Bo:

You may remember Dot & Bo named Nest by Tamara Top 50 Influencers in Home Design, and they have been generous with me in other ways too.  Last year they donated gorgeous bar set and glassware to my room design at one of NYC's most popular design charity events Design On A Dime, which is a unique part show house, part sale philanthropic annual event.  
This year, as we plan to create a modern Designer's Atelier space for the April 23rd Design On A Dime gala, we want fresh design.  Dot & Bo was first on my mind since they offer up innovative wares on their easy-to-shop website.  I am happy to announce they are donating a pair of these Spotlight Table lamps, which are appointed with a bullhorn shaped shade and ridged detailing, giving the lamps a utilitarian feel.  This pair will most certainly work wonderfully on our designer's desk and meld well with the other items we have planned for the vignette.

of Elle Decor magazine!

Please purchase tickets here for the April 23rd gala in NYC's Metropolitan Pavilion.  If you cannot make the event, I promise to capture the excitement of the evening and bring a medley of photographs from my finished room here on the blog. 

Happy Nesting 
XO Tamara
