Perfect Pantone...

We have had two anniversaries in the last two weeks, it's been nine years since my partner (we got married in a civil ceremony in 2007) David and I got together after knowing each other for three years. He bought me the Pantone cufflinks and keyring above and I was so pleased, he has learnt and listened well. He can now go out into the world and be confident that what he is buying me I will like! LOL! Having this blog helps him enormously though because It's like a big catalogue of everything I like so if your partner constantly gets it wrong or buys you useless crap then my advice would be to start a blog!

Orange inspiration

Robin emailed the other day looking for some colour inspiration: "I was wondering if you could dig up some photos of orange rooms. I painted my living room a clay orange to match a fabric I love and now I’ve lost the orange inspiration! Help!" I dug up some photos of spaces with orangey walls to hopefully help Robin finish her living room. Note: grey, white, taupe and chartreuse seems to be popular choices to use with orange.

Brighten up your day

Winter is just about here, and I am dreading it as I do every year. It's looking a little dreary outside so I thought I would post about spaces with COLOUR, since I'm craving a little bit of bright and bold these days.

Jamie Drake does it again

It's been quite a while since we've posted about Jamie Drake's firm. When I came across this gorgeous apartment filled with their signature bold colour palette, I was in awe, again. GORG!!! With these colours, you can't help but smile.

"The designs for our Manhattan House apartment aspire to replicate the cool, unapproachable beauty of style icon Grace Kelly. Pale icy green frosts the foyer, living and dining rooms with a piquant Kelly green accent panel in the foyer. Refined, couture details such as the ruched trim on the shapely sofa reflect the impeccable manner in which she was always dressed."
