Happy Brights...

Just a few bright colours that made me very happy...

I particularly love combining the organic feeling from the  floral [painting] print with the linear shapes of the ikat batik, and strong structure of the new regency Moorish designs. 

Enjoy,

Lightness of Spring...

 A collection of images that I found in my image library - that inspired me as I placed them together - joining accents of forget me-not blue, myrtle walnut timber, tints of white & shades of taupe. Gives a sense of whimsy, old school, the level of lightness in these images portrays for a new season upon us....

Spring is here, for die-hards to the calendar Spring Equinox is around the corner too! Enjoy,

Colour Colour Colour....

Fell in love with all these wonderful hues!

Some colours from manufactured looks - Pink Apple. I simply couldn't resist the painted pink apple - so cool. And most are from nature  - like these gorgeous foxglove flowers, they show us where we can take inspiration from - to make these inspired colour wheels! 

Enjoy,

Fresh Living Rooms...

Loving these fresh, light & bright Living areas...

some colour combinations and looks can be timeless.

Is it time to mix up your throw cushions, or a fresh coat of paint?

Enjoy,

The soft, creamy gray color running through this small living room

helps it feel bigger, since the eye doesn't focus on it and

goes straight to the windows.

Chardonnay grape vineyards surround this contemporary California farmhouse.

Designer Jean Larette wanted this living room to have a seamless

 indoor-outdoor flow. Two walls of foldable, glass-paned doors take the

 place of solid walls so the owner can feel the breeze and enjoy the view.
