Sticking to a colour scheme
Neutrals with a hint of glamI know I’m going against the grain here, but oh do I love winter! There’s something about cold grey days, cosy interiors and warm lighting that really appeals to me (-or maybe it’s just the hot chocolate!). My week started with hot chocolates and Mars Bar cake here:
After which we said hello to these guys:
And walked here: (I looove cold rugged-up walks in the park)
I was also pleaded with to take pictures of every creature we could find for our ‘Nature Album’. Can you see a spider in this picture? Me neither, but trust me, he’s there somewhere!
After all that fun it was back to Melbourne and decorating (more fun) reality. I love being busy and I get so excited seeing little bits of jobs coming together, like when I picked up these curtains with Greek-key trim:
I also bought a pair of these chinoiserie-style lamps for a bedroom project (new shades I think? Yes!);
decided on a fabric (hello chiang mai dragon) so I could drop this lovely old french chair off at the upholsterer’s:
Then I agonised over which of these colours:
to paint this cane coffee table. I’m putting co-ordinating fabric under the glass it will be fabulous!
So that’s me in a nutshell so far…hope you’re enjoying your week too x
What great fabric and color choices! I also love the chiang mai in the China blue, love to see how that chair turns out! Looks like a fun week!! x Sian
Wow love the greek key trimmed curtains!
I love the pink lamp in your office, do you by any chance sell those? Thanks!
Hi Kate, sure I can get you a ginger jar lamp in pink or any other colour! Just email me! Naomi
What a gorgeous park, I have to say I prefer winter too. Looking forward to seeing how your projects turn out! Mel
Love seeing your snippets! I’d love to see the chair and the coffee table when you’ve finished!
Hi Rachael, yes I’ll be sure to share them when they’re done! x
