Tu B’Shvat Inspired Interiors || Interiores inspirados por Tu B’Shvat

February 6, 2015 by Yael Leave a Comment

B”H

So while thinking about the New Year of the Trees this week, I naturally ended up thinking about color. Naturally? Well, I mean it’s just typical of me. My family knows I’m a bit color obsessed. My husband says it comes from my Caribbean upbringing. Probably true. By now my family laughs when I make them stop and admire the rich colors that G-d created in the world in anything from a red onion, to fruit, to flowers.

Mientras estuve pensando sobre el Año Nuevo de los Árboles esta semana, terminé también pensando en colores. ¡Típico! Mi familia sabe que estoy un poco obsesionada con colores y colorido. My esposo dice que es por que crecí en el Caribe. Le creo. Mi familia ya se ríe cuando los hago parar y admirar los bellos colores que creo Di-s en todo y cualquier cosa desde una cebolla morada, fruta, flores y mas. So, now that you know a bit about how my mind works, let me show you some examples of Tu B’Shvat inspired interiors.

Así que ya que saben un poco de como funciona mi mente, déjenme mostrarles algunos ejemplos de interiores inspirados por la fiesta de Tu B’Shvat. 

I’m a big fan of green in general – and emerald green in particular- and an emerald green couch gets me every time. This image from Lilly Bunn, is one of my favorites. I’m a big fan of her work, which you can see here.

Soy una fanática del color verde en general- y el verde esmeralda en particular- y un sofá verde esmeralda me mata cada vez. Esta imagen de Lilly Bunn, es una de mis favoritas. Hace mucho que soy fanática de su trabajo, el cual pueden ver aquí.

Nicole Cohen from Sketch 42 also did it right with this green sofa. The room and the whole apartment has a more modern edge than I usually use- which is so Nicole- but I love it all! You can see it here.

Nicole Cohen de Sketch 42, también se la comió con este sofa verde. El salón y todo el apartamento tienen un estilo mas moderno que el cual usualmente utilizo, pero es tan genuinamente el estilo de Nicole y me fascina. Pueden ver mas aquí. nicole-cohen-green-sofa

Bailey from Peppermint Bliss has used this green couch in her living room in three different houses. I’ll show you two of them. I actually had my upholsterer copy this couch when he re-did a love seat of ours. I had it made in navy blue velvet, though.

Bailey de Peppermint Bliss ha usado este mismo sofa verde en su sala en tres casas diferentes. Aquí les muestro dos de las salas. De hecho, este fue el sofa que le mostré a mi tapicero cuando le encargué retapizar nuestro sofá de dos puestos. Excepto que el nuestro lo mandamos a hacer en terciopelo azul marino en vez de verde.

She also went with a green couch in a recent client project and it looks beautiful paired with all the colors in the room.

The other thing about my brain, is that is totally wired to dark chocolate, as in “I have a healthy obsession with dark chocolate.” It goes with me everywhere (yes, in my purse!). But, that’s not where my fascination with chocolate ends. Chocolate brown lacquered wall are just as divine. Let me show you.

La otra cosa de mi cerebro es que está totalmente sincronizado al chocolate amargo. Digamos que una “sana obsesión.” El chocolate amargo va conmigo a todas partes (¡si, en mi cartera!). Pero no es ahí donde termina mi obsesión con el chocolate. Paredes con lacado marrón chocolate son igual de divinas. Les muestro.  laquered-chocolate-wallsThis one by Lilly Bunn is one of my all time favorites:

So my initial concept for this post was interiors inspired, not just by the trees themselves, but also by the Seven Species of the Land of Israel (wheat, barley, figs, dates, grapes, olives and pomegranates). However, my chocolate wired brain cannot move onto other food groups after looking at these walls- just as rich and delicious as a bar of chocolate. Maybe next year I won’t get so side tracked. Until then, go check out my Tu B’Shvat Inspired Interiors Pinterest Board. And of course, you know what I’m snacking on right now… not on the dates I have left over from Tu B’Shvat. ;-)

Mi concepto inicial para este post era interiores inspirados no sólo por los árboles, sino también por los siete frutos de la Tierra de Israel (trigo, cebada, higos, dátiles, uvas, aceitunas y granadinas). Sin embargo, después de ver estas paredes tan ricas y deliciosas como una barra de chocolate, no me animé a continuar explorando los colores de los siete frutos. Tal vez el año que viene no me despiste tanto. Entre tanto, vean mi cartapacio Tu B’Shvat Inspired Interiors en Pinterest. Y por supuesto, ya saben que estoy comiendo ahora mismo… no son los dátiles que me sobraron de Tu B’Shvat. ;-)Wishing you all a Shabbat Shalom!¡Les deseo a todas un Shabbat Shalom!

You CAN make Shabbat without the overwhelm!

    What an honor to be interviewed by Yael. In my eyes, Yael's show is a place to glorify Judaism and the Jewish way of life, and I am humbled to have been invited to share my passion. Yael made me feel so comfortable and confident. Her easy going upbeat energy was felt way across the globe as if I was sitting right there next to her.

    Yael de JLP no es solo mi gran amiga sino que es una host maravillosa, con la voz más dulce y hace las preguntas más asertivas. Te hace sentir en casa estando tan lejos y en un micrófono. Yael es el perfecto ejemplo de mujer mamá judia trabajadora que lo puede todo! Y todo lo que hace lo hace perfecto. No solo recomiendo escuchar sus podcast que son maravillosos sino seguir su blog y sus ocurrentes historias y los mejores tips.

  • Michelle Poler, Founder of Hello Fears, Speaker & Fear FacerMichelle Poler, Founder of Hello Fears, Speaker & Fear Facer

    I loved being part of your podcast, I had no idea what to expect and it was refreshing as a Jewish woman to participate in your podcast. Your questions related to what I do, combined with Judaism gave me a lot to think about. I love getting new questions instead of the typical “why did you start the project?” which is important but I’m glad you gave it a twist. I hope your listeners enjoy the interview as much as I enjoyed being part of it! Thanks for challenging me to think about my topic and religion as one.

    Yael is a gifted and intuitive writer. So impressed was our staff, that the Jewish Herald-Voice offered her a monthly column, "Defining Jewish Women." We have received only positive feedback and our readers look forward to the third Thursday of every month. In between, I personally follow her blog and gain much insight into myself through her words and emotions.

  • Gila SimchaGila Simcha

    What a treat to hear Yael speak at the Jewish Women's Retreat in San Antonio. Her presentation, "Mi Casa es Su Casa, The Kabbalah of the Home" inspired me to express my Judaism in a way that speaks to my creative side and love of all things chic without compromising my true self and style. I'm so glad I got the chance to hear her message of creativity and Torah. Bravo!

  • Sandy FrydbergSandy Frydberg

    I enjoyed your presentation very much. Your way of presenting material is your strongest asset. You are organized, friendly and approachable, and you speak beautifully, including when you incorporated Jewish teachings in Hebrew. I would be happy to learn from you as you make it fun and interesting.

  • Tina GrossTina Gross

    Thank you so much for a wonderful presentation....You are a great speaker and all the ladies loved hearing your stories....

  • Shoshana BonnShoshana Bonn

    I am writing to share how much I enjoyed your presentation on the kabbalah of home at the 55th N'shei Chabad convention in San Antonio, Texas. Your vivacious speaking style, the clarity with which you made your points, and your warmth toward your audience made this one of the best breakout sessions I attended. You offered both depth of Jewish knowledge and perspective on how this applied to people's individual situations. I look forward to my next opportunity to hear you speak.

  • Clara GrossClara Gross

    Yael y JLP son muy especiales para mi. Fue gracias a JLP que me di la oportunidad de intentar nuevamente preparar Challah para mi familia - desde que JLP publico la Challah que nunca falla en nuestra mesa hay hermosas y deliciosas Challah todos los Shabbat y en las festividades. Soy una foodie así que no me pierdo las recetas que publica y hasta ahora han sido un éxito total, sin contar que me inspira la bellísima presentación de los platos y como presentar una hermosa,  sencilla y a la vez elegante mesa para nuestra familia e invitados.

    In preparation for my wedding, I had the opportunity to learn with Yael. Creativity aside, she is a wealth of knowledge, both passionate and practical, about what she teaches and how she teaches it. I'm also proud to say that through our experience together she has become a great friend and is someone that I can I always talk to.

  • Melinda SilberMelinda Silber
    Yael can be defined as “refreshing inspiration.” She is well-versed in an array of topics from Jewish femininity to design details. Every time I hear her at a speaking engagement or in passing conversation, she always brings an awareness of Jewish femininity to the forefront, constantly reminding women of their spiritual role and importance in ‘everyday’ things. I was thrilled that she passed this concept on, along with her deep knowledge of Judaism, to my daughter during their Bat Mitzvah lessons together. Yael always rises to the occasion (no pun intended) with her eye for design and attention to details. Her subtle palette, creativity and organizational skills are her recipe to success!
  • Vanesa KreindelVanesa Kreindel

    Estoy inmensamente feliz de haber conocido a Yael. En ella no solo encontré una persona con inmenso talento, sino que también encontré una gran amiga que abre su corazón y te contagia su alegría, creatividad y armonía. Me fascina leer su blog - en el siempre encuentro algún nuevo “tip” y también disfruto muchísimo de las clases de mujeres que nos da mensualmente.

  • Anat ChenAnat Chen

    My daughter Stav had her Bat Mitzvah a few months ago.  I wanted Stav to go into her 'Bat Mitzvah' understanding the meaning of the term, and with the knowledge of how to apply it to her life. Even though she learns in a Jewish Orthodox school, I felt that she needed extra learning and inspiration for her coming of age.  Luckily, I knew Yael from before, and heard that she teaches Bat Mitzvah classes.  I had a feeling that this would be a good match... I wasn't wrong :)

    Yael teaches ancient ideas in a modern way.  Stav came back from classes inspired, thinking and asking herself questions.  I'm thankful that my daughter had the opportunity to learn with Yael for her Bat Mitzvah in a interesting, welcoming and inspiring way.

    Yael has creativity, vision, and energy, and she uses them all to the fullest for her clients. She came up with the color scheme, all the accessories, the overall “look” of the day, and I just happily and gratefully followed along. But I don’t want you to think it’s only what Yael wants, Yael does. She asked me for input every step of the way. She always checked in with me about what she was buying, what she thought we should have at the party, and she was always conscious of budget. I wanted everything she suggested, but I know that if there had been anything I wasn’t keen to have, she would have changed it until she found something that I loved. She wanted my daughter and me to be happy with everything. We weren’t happy – that’s too meager a word – we were elated!!! Working with Yael was such a pleasant and joyful experience. And those are two words I don’t use lightly when it comes to describing planning an event.

  • Elisheva GolaniElisheva Golani

    Yael helped me style my son's upshernish as well as my living room. She is wonderful to work with! She is talented and extremely organized which is super helpful! She has an incredible eye and knows how to beautify absolutely anything!
