I finally got the chance to photograph the founder of Mod Green Pod, Nancy Mims’, home for a House Tour (coming in November!). And while there were a million things to catch our attention and delight us about the design of the home, there was one subtle yet noticeable thing we paid attention to: one color that cropped up in each room, in a tiny amount, that tied the rest of the house together.
Nancy’s home is boldly decorated in a way that each room has its own color palette, tone and feel. But even though they differ greatly, you don’t feel like the home is a bunch of different rooms that don’t relate; the open floor plan affords you views into rooms from other rooms, and I saw the deft way in which Nancy brought in tiny pops of the same magenta pink in each space. Never the main color, and always surrounded by plenty of other colors and textures, this pink serves its job well: it makes the home feel cohesive and pulls your eye from room to room.
Do you use color as a way to tie together different color palettes or styles in your home? If so, what color is it that you use? If color plays a part in connecting all your spaces, is it intentional or accidental? Let us know!

Hello! Does anyone know who makes the pillow and/or fabric in the first photo? The blue with the loop-de-loop design? Thanks for your help.
^ The blue loops are called Aspire and are sold at Mod Green Pod but it looks like its sold out. Maybe they'll restock though https://modgreenpod.com/item/14/
Fantastic. Thanks for replying! You're a gem.

You guys really need an editor. Really. The constant errors bring down the tone of the whole place, like a festering sponge in the kitchen sink. How about:

Some might object to "got the chance" and prefer "had the chance," but I don't mind a casual tone. This is not the Wall Street Journal.
Aside from the grammar errors, the first paragraph is murky. A new visitor to this site would not know the writer is implying this entry is a sneak peek focusing on a single design aspect of the home. A few additional words would make that clear:
I finally got the chance to photograph the home of Mod Green Pod founder, Nancy Mims. A full tour is coming in November. For now, we want to draw your attention to a sparingly used color that cropped up in each room, tying the house together.
Don't expect your contributors to be great at photography, design, communication, *and* editing. If they are great at two out of the four, you are doing well. Hire an editor.
"Color serves many purposes in a home. "
No kidding? What a revelation.
anyone know where i can find the wallpaper in that last shot? the blue circles with the art deco detail?
