There is no way I would feel dull in a turquoise and yellow kitchen, my mood would simply brighten just by stepping into such a vibrant pallette. Here is why!
Sweet and Sour Nursery
New Orleans designer Elizabeth Sullivan‘s amazing “Sweet and Sour” nursery. Loving the wall shelving displaying all the children’s books and the white and turquoise pin stripe ceiling. Many charming little details in this nursery design.
Blue and Red Rustic Beach House
Original beach home with loads of character. The thing that won me over is the overall shabby, rustic, cluttered decadence of this space. The use of that greenish turquoise with red on the corroded walls, rugs and furniture ties the room together while adding brightness to the home.
Style in Ikea Catalogue 2013
Just received the new Ikea 2013 catalogue in the post and thought I would share some of the cool style pictures in there.
Bright colours and blonde wood combined with graphic expressions in textiles. That’s the core of the Scandinavian graphic style.
Blonde Scandinavian style – The furniture is functional in form and design. The textiles are patterned with organic prints, and balanced with geometric forms.
Grey-brown stain with an addition of brushed natural pine, faded colours on metal, linen and raw fibres. That’s the quick recipe for creating a style that’s rustic and easy living.
Inspired by the Swedish countryside…By mixing check and stripes, and hand-crafted accents this style has a relaxed and welcoming feel.
Black and white is always a good foundation to build on when creating your personal style at home.
Bring in nature – rattan, bamboo, untreated pine, organic patterns and green accent colour.
Colour can bring new life to any room.
Restored French Ruin
Gorgeous restoration of a French ruin:
Michele and Roland Vincent have transformed a farmhouse ruin in France into a perfect ‘maison rustique’, with original farmhouse character still intact. The property, in Pays de la Loire, Western France, had been empty and neglected for fifty years before the couple bought it and turned it into a stylish home filled with their own unique painted furniture.
