Thinking Pink
In my neck of the woods..
I have a couple of green velvet armchairs that every now and then I think about having recovered. Then I always change my mind as I have a renewed appreciation of the virtues of green! And these pics are great examples – green and grey is such a sophisticated combination. Green walls with grey upholstery (top) and grey walls with green upholstery (middle pic) looks fabulous. And I love the combination of green, dark timbers, a hint of nickel and some subtle grey lampshades (above).
Today I’ve been hunting for rugs for two different clients, looking at lanterns for above a kitchen island and putting together fabrics for cushions. Everywhere I go I’ve been checking out the gorgeous Christmas window displays that are appearing in homeware shops – I’m such a Christmas person and seeing windows full of twinkling lights and interesting wreaths and new cushions always gets me so excited! I’m collecting lots of beautiful ribbons and papers for all my wrapping. I think the packaging is so important don’t you?
Have a great Tuesday! xx
Yes I love gray too, in my home, I have light green walls with grey upholstery and my visitors love it.
I have beautiful scalloped back green velvet chairs and grey walls. I will definitely get them re-upholstered (eventually) because the fabric’s not in the best condition but I admit that the colours really do work well together…. then again, my grey walls seem to work well with everything.
Yes! Grey really does go with everything! I’m a big grey fan
