Fabric Story

Here's your Fabric Story, A!

 We love the colour green on your accent wall, and think it is a great place to start with your room makeover!!

.

 Okay!  For the ottoman....

 We're suckers for a graphic pattern and the grey and white are modern, fresh and would work with your sofas.

Grey and yellow are a great combo. Yellow piping would really pop on the ottoman and would look so very fresh and citrusy with the green.  We'll come back to the lemony yellow with the pillow fabrics.

To keep the green relevant, some small to medium sized toss cushions in this fun bird print would be great...and would bring the grey from the ottoman back around!!

Then...for some bigger, comfy, maybe down filled pillows, one of these would be stunning...the piping or trim detailing on this pillow fabric could be white or grey. (The second fabric comes across as having a cream background but it is actually white.)

Then for a bit of something to bring that green back in, even one bolster, or something long and rectangular would be great!

This is what the whole room would feel like with these suggestions!

Thanks so much A for the super fun opportunity to do a virtual makeover on your living room!!

Think outside the box... clever storage solutions

I often joke that my better half would have us sitting on milk crates if the home decor decisions were left up to him. I came across this picture while I was reading Design Sponge today and it made me wonder if maybe I've been to harsh? Perhaps there is room for milk crates and cinder blocks in a stylish home?

Top of the mornin'!

Since technology won't let me send out a refreshing glass of o.j. to you through our blog, I thought I'd show you the closest thing to it in furniture form. We spruced up this little side table for a client who loves orange for all the juiciness it stands for. Orange is also supposed to stimulate conversation and communication. So, here's the side table. Discuss.

A Turquoise Shed

 I recently came back from the Magdalen Islands Quebec, where colour inspiration abounds...homes are painted in two or three shades of vibrant unexpected combo's.  Of course somewhere along the way I was bound to spot a Turquoise Shed...and that it was situated in a field of golden yellow was as far as I could tell....perfection!
