Cheery contrast: blue & red


Drake Design Associates

 
The weather has turned dreary and rainy in this part of the world so I am looking at a perk-me-up colour combination: turquoisey blue (think blue sky and sea) teamed with bright vibrant red.

It even works for a cosier, more romantic look.

Aren’t these just the prettiest little girls’ rooms? SO much better than a sickly pink overload. (Speaking of which, can somebody please explain why some parents insist on surrounding their girls in pink? Because I really don’t understand it.)

Conversation Pieces

Looks like the most fun wedding ever, yes?

 

Do you have colours that you turn to when you need perking up? Or any other tricks for a dreary grey day?

Rustic AND turquoise!


Graham & Green

If you ever need to bribe me, give me a distressed rustic turquoise item. I will be putty in your hands. It doesn’t matter what it is, as long as it is rustic and turquoise.

No, I’m only joking, no bribery here! (shh, remember, something rustic and turquoise)

Fancying some teal romance

Has it been one of those weeks??

I for one am feeling frazzled at the end of what feels like a long week (it’s not always glamorous). Since last weekend was a working one, I am locking my jotter in my drawer till Monday and looking forward to a bit of R & R this weekend.

I get to play hostess tomorrow as we’re having friends over for the rugby, followed by dinner and whatever else that leads to.

As for Sunday, I’d love to kick off my shoes in a room like this…

… and enjoy a generous slice of cake,
a large mug of tea (yup, tea in a large mug, 2 sugars),
catch up on my magazine reading and swoon over delectable designs.

Betty Draper (Mad Men) has a fainting couch, this could be my swooning couch. :P

Have a great weekend, all you lovely people! :-)
