Pantone Color of the Year 2015: Marsala
Posted on: January 27th, 2015 by Taryn
This year, according toe the color experts at Pantone , the color of the year is…drumroll!!!! Marsala?
Do they really think of design world when coming up with these things? If it were strictly food related I think it would be fantastic, personally my favorite foods contain the name Marsala…I love Italian and Indian food (I know that’s actually masala in Indian seasonings. LOL)! I also LOVE wine…a few of my favorite things.
But when it comes to color inspiration for decor, especially when trying to beat the winter blues at the beginning of a new year…this tone reads very “Fall” and it’s hard to come up with some new, on trend items that fit in this years “IT” color…
It took me a while to find inspiration images using this color palette that were more modern and in fitting with ModShop’s design aesthetic…I did find some good stuff. And was pleasantly surprised by how creative people can be when forced to go with something as important as 2015’s color of the year!
I hope you like what I’ve found and that you leave feeling a tad inspired to do more with Marsala than eat, drink and be merry!

ModShop now has a few rose gold items in our collections, dining chairs , desks and more…Here’s what we found inspiring and how you could infuse a little rose gold style into your life.
Mountain Modern
Posted on: January 5th, 2015 by Taryn
This post is not so much inspired by, but more of a plea to the owners of all the cabins frequented by families like ours during the winter month…After returning from a quick snowy get-away to Mammoth Mountain, I did some research on condos and rental units available for rent…hoping to find one cool property to include in this post. Sadly, there’s not a whole lot to show. In general the decor of these rentals is depressing at best!
It seems everyone shops at the same generic log cabin furniture store…and the offerings are not worth of the beautiful surroundings of the snowy outdoors.
I think we should put together affordable packages, and drop them in every mailbox to show owners that for a limited budget, they could drastically update their decor and in turn increase rental revenue…
I searched the web and found some stunning Mountain retreats to show as examples of how this should be done, furnished with the perfect mix of neutral color palette, warm wood tones and organic materials. I’m especially in love with the chunky knit trend we see emerging in home decor… SO perfect for cozy cabin decor! And something you could actually ask your great aunt to knit for your next Christmas gift, maybe this time you’ll actually like it!
Here’s what we found inspiring, and how you could incorporate some of ModShop’s more organic looking pieces into your mountain home to create a warm and inviting retreat…

Seeing Stripes
Posted on: August 1st, 2014 by Taryn
As far as we’re concerned, there’s one classic print that will never go out of style. Bold, graphic, black and white stripes are hot, hot, hot! Thick or thin, horizontal or vertical, no matter how you serve it up, this is a winning combination.
Whether you choose to keep it simple and monochromatic, or add a pop of color as an accent, the power of the black and white stripe is undeniable. This classic pattern has a always had a sporty feel, but used in the right way, black and white stripes can create chic interiors and fashion forward looks with a mod edge.
Here’s what we found inspiring, and how you could incorporate some of ModShop’s black and white goodies into your space…
