I sent off this gorgeous Madeline Weinrib rug to one of my Sydney clients this morning:
I can’t wait to see it in situ!! The shade of pink is amazing. And it has me pondering the glorious other rug options. The colours and the patterns have amazing impact in any room; and I just love them!

What is it about green for me at the moment? I am smitten and am feeling the urge to paint, recover, spray things in my house green left, right and centre! Just one more post on green and I might be over it for awhile..This is my favourite combination of the moment:
Green, purple and dusky pink, Oh I love it.

I really like the shade of green in this library (above). Though if it were mine I’d stain the floors dark, dark, dark, and the switch the blinds for streamlined romans with a green ribbon trim.

Just a little pop of emerald green (above). I’m always interested to see how people display their collection – we all have them, right? And this little cluster of green glass vases on a mantlepiece appeals to me, especially paired with the black-and-white rug (Ikea?) and photograph.

No pattern here, just simple green curtains, stool and upholstery, with relief in simple white walls and nautral sisal carpet.

I’ll never stop loving this famous blue and green living room from Domino (above).

My favourite shade: Kelly Green (above).
I have to admit that I went off the colour green for awhile. I’m not sure why, but for years I just felt it wasn’t ‘me’, and I’d gravitate towards blue and neutrals. But for one reason or another, I’m back on green bigtime. Not so much khaki green, and not an insipid spring green, either. I am just loving bold, bright green at the moment. Like this amazing chest of drawers designed for Century Furniture by Jonathan Adler:

Green wallpaper in the back of bookshelves or to back kitchen cupboards is a great idea, too. The geometric design here is so modern and fresh, I love it.

I like this green upholstered bedhead, and appreciate the way the straight lines of its design counteract with the off-centred round mirrors. I can’t decide about the big jade lamps, though. Are they beautiful or ugly? – (or ugly-pretty for ANTM watchers!)

Thought I’d throw in this bit of green loveliness – green Christian Louboutins are definitely on my wish-list.
can't remember this source sorry!
Another little pop of green (below). I’ve had this picture stored for ages, the saarinen tables and black-and-white rug offset the otherwise classic style of the room in a way I like. And I always love a double-height living room!

Green is a really fresh colour for a kitchen:

The famous hallway belonging to Chloe Sevigny lined with green trellis wallpaper:

It’s all about texture, as well as colour. The wet-looking green vinyl on the chairs, the raw zinc of the table, the softness of the rug, and that light fitting! It all works together so well (below).

Finally, something on my current must-buy list, a monogrammed tray (in Kelly Green of course- email me for details).

Is it somewhat ironic that the day after I post about seeing the same thing over and over again in the design world (see yesterday’s post), that I stumble across and buy what is surely one of the most recognisable decorating items around today: chinese foo dogs.
angie hranowsky
I’ve seen red ones and white ones but the turquoise dogs are the ones we see all over the design blog-world. They always look great, though. The ones I bought today were ridiculously cheap because of some small repair work on one of the paws- though you only notice it up close:

My photo (above) needs some flowers desperately! But you get the drift anyway.

Talk about a pop of colour (above)! The foo dogs provide just enough of the turquoise to accent against the orange.

Okay, so there’s no actual foo dogs in this room (above), but the same turquoise ceramic in the horse and figurine give a similar effect.
