Am I the only one who feels that the days are already noticeably shorter? Weekdays for me lately are slightly manic, as I try to get everything done before school pickup time, after which it seems there is no daylight left between the homework/dinner routine. In between phone calls and emails this morning I started putting together a scheme in sage greens and creams for a new client’s sitting room. I think I might need to throw a bit of stripe in there somewhere.. You can see the chaos of fabric cuttings that is my desk at the moment! I dream of a bigger office with a giant wall of organised storage!
I’ve also swapped most of the blue and white cushions in our house for some more ‘winter’ colours. I have to say I’m not that motivated at the moment in terms of decorating my own house – mainly because I’m ready to move on to the next project, and I want to try completely different things like wallpaper, new curtain fabrics, newly recovered furniture etc. I really am ready to sell everything and start from scratch in the next house. But the very least I can do is have season-appropriate cushions, right? The Ralph Lauren paisley in the front is actually one I won’t get sick of – I’m thinking of covering walls in that pattern somewhere in the fabled Country House – maybe a library?
Have a great day,

Yes, cushions that match the season are crucial!
I do love all the warm neutrals you have going on for winter
Hi Carol, yes I love neutrals and tans and warm taupes are so perfect for winter, don’t you think? Naomi x
Hi Naomi, the sage greens look beautiful. I love the taupe in there too, and especially what looks like a green and cream leopard print fabric (?). Would love to see the finished room. Mands x
Hi Amanda, yes that fabric is like a leopard print in greens and a creamy gold, and it’s reversible too. The finished room will be a way off yet, but I hope to share it when completed. Naomi x
Love the Ralph Lauren paisley too – such a big fan of paisley! It would look divine covering a wall! Does it come in wallpaper or would you use the fabric? xx
I agree, changing the pillows is such an easy and fast way to change the look and feel of your home!
