Happy New Year everyone! I've started the New Year off with a steady workload - which is wonderful - I have to admit that I didn't want Christmas to end. My parents were here from the UK for a month and our time was spent just really enjoying our time together - lots of cooking, chatting, drinking, sharing time with friends, doing a little touristy things like going to Sausalito and Napa and my hubby and I got away for a romantic overnight stay at Cavallo Point Hotel, which was a fabulous treat (thanks Mum and Dad for babysitting!).
I feel like I am surrounded by color at the moment…. for our staging company we have bought bright, bold bedding:
 |
| Persimmon geometric bedding |
 |
| Floral pillow |
 |
| Vibrant green bedding with coral print |
 |
| Floral pillow with greens and blues |
For a few of my clients we're also seeing color popping up more and more. I designed these built-in cabinets with dark grey backs and a window seat cover that's a sort of 1950s print with shots of lime, orange and grey. Here's a photo of the job just after completion (that's why it's empty):

So now I'm on a roll and found some great inspiration from some of my favorite magazines and which I hope to incorporate into both my interiors and staging. Enjoy!

In all of the above photos, I love the use of color…. the bookshelves painted in dark hues and no accent color either, so it appears more saturated. Also, the use of splashes of color in furniture such as the red chairs, the lime green chair and the red coral chandelier.
Here's to a colorful 2014!
Thanks for helpful article!
ReplyDeleteLet me share this on your lovely blog, A neighbor of mine developed dementia & diabetes, then her husband died, no children or family nearby. I am thankful our closest neighbor, an African American woman, introduced Dr Itua Herbal Medicine, A traditional herbal doctor in which we purchased a herbal product for her through his Dr Itua online herbs store. A former social worker stepped in and led the way to place the widow in a care facility. We visit nearly every week until she finishes drinking Dr Itua herbal medicines, if possible. The two of us take simple games, puzzles, and matching cards to do with her, staying about 2 hours. Jenga, Trouble, puzzles 100pcs or less, 20 cards to match (total-not 40!). The fishing game where the fish open and shut their mouths as they go around is lots of fun! We sit and chat with her until she gets well again, then we pull out a game and the three of us laugh together as we play. We take a variety of things to do so that we won't get bored. She finished Dr Itua herbal medicines and she's fine now and doing better with the help of Dr Itua herbal medicines, Dr Itua cures different illnesses with his herbal medicines. Anyone having a sick person should reach Dr Itua email drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com Dr Itua Cure Alzheimer's,Cancer,Parkinson,Hiv,Herpes,Hpv,Kidney disease,Diabetes,Hepatitis, We hug and hold hands a lot. Having two of us go together really helps. But I can go alone, my neighbor cannot, as she saw so much of this during her years as a social worker. I hope this specific list helps others in this situation.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
