More Color, please!
If you can still find an April 2011 issue of House Beautiful magazine, or if you'd like to go to their website, www.housebeautiful.com/, the have some fabulous photos of an apartment that has me coveting and drooling. It's a beautiful decor that is both bohemian and classy, chock full of one of my favorite inventions--COLOR! Although the colors are bold, the hues that were selected--a carribean blue, aqua, plum--keep that room serene. There is also another room highlighted that has a fabulous raspberry wall that lovingly hugs furniture of complementary color (an olive-colored couch accented with vivid patterns). Take a look at the photos below, then head on over to the House Beautiful website for more mouth-watering eye candy. One of the descriptions has put it better than I ever could: "It's an artistic twisting of a kaleidoscope, turning a collision of colors into a tour de force." Magic.
Waa waaa wahhhhhhh
If you didn't quite get the title of this post, it's that droning "musical" sound of disappointment that is played when something just doesn't pan out. Like my getting around to submitting a fabric to Project Selvedge (see previous post). I kept wanting to submit something new, as the designs I already have on Spoonflower aren't "boy" enough, really, and the contest was for a boy fabric. I had sketched puppies, frogs, and snails for it, but just didn't find the time among my plethora of other projects to get it done by the deadline. But if you'd like to view the finalists who did get their designs submitted in time, go here. Enjoy!
