Doing the Tangerine Tango
Tangerine Tango (gotta love that name!) is Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2012!! And you thought last years Honeysuckle was intense…ha! Just saying the name Tangerine Tango puts me in a good mood. Here’s what Pantone has to say about the color: “Sophisticated but at the same time dramatic and seductive, Tangerine Tango is […]
Technology in the Kitchen
I’ve been hearing more about technology in the kitchen lately with the rise of tablets and smart phones. Apple doesn’t have a corner on the kitchen tech market. All kinds of innovations in cooking have bubbled up in kitchen appliances in the past decade. What are we’re seeing in Twin Cities kitchens?
Bits of Inspiration {The Color of Fall}
If fall were a color, it could only be orange. The color of leaves, pumpkins, Mario Batali’s Crocs…. OK, maybe not that last one, but spending more time indoors inevitably means spending more time in my favorite place in the world — the kitchen. I’ve got it on the brain. So how come orange so […]
Sustainable For Life
I was recently at a dinner party at a home designed by Shelter Architecture. It was a renovation of a regular old South Minneapolis home, not a huge lot and I thought it was an incredible use of space!

Meet Interior Designer Keri Olson! Keri is the owner of KOR Interior Design. KOR, pronounced “core”, because she believes the entire design experience centers on her clients. They are the core. And just like the monogram, every solution is unique, personal and classic, regardless of style.
Made in Minnesota {Bespoke Custom Furnishings}
When I see people take off their glasses, put their face to the wall and then begin to pet that wall, I cannot help but wonder what on earth is going on. Apparently Bespoke is what’s going on and this is fairly common practice outside their showroom at International Market Square.
