Hello April, as we open the door to spring with more interior design inspiration and project advice for your home. April reminds me of "coming alive', the feeling of new growth and the return of more colour after a dearly winter.New beginings, Eggs n' Chicks, the celebration of Easter, and I love the start of the Cherry Blossoms, all the pink lush blossoms, like cotton candy gone wild. Its sunny afternoons sipping coffee on sidewalks while there is still snow on the mountains - pretty amazing! Outdoor markets and new pop up stores to investigate. I will talk on how to find some market finds, and road trip flea markets worth checking out too.
The colour I have chosen for April is.......YELLOW! The colour of sunshine and happiness,lets explore all the hues it upholds from Havana Cream to Summer Petal, and give some background history on Yellow. Its a fantastic colour to explore through textiles, lighting, wallpaper, and furniture......oh and a special on hardware. As I know there is a lot of yellow brass out there, and yes its one of this years trends! So lets revive of those items you have and see how we can use them in your design-scape today. So, Hello Yellow!
The Yellow Palette
The touch of Gold in the Dining Lounge
April will continue with Wisdom Wednesdays, Throwback Thursdays and of course the chit chat and design inspiration with the Colour Story of the Day features.
I will reveal the winner of Save the Space contest! That is super exciting....the before photo and the inside scoop on the design going forward. So if you haven't sent me a photo of your room and why it needs saved......there is still time to the end of this week! So get on it!
Designer ONLInE, details on how to use this new service. I feel as we all move to our mobile devices and wanting that boutique interior design service and have it delivered right to your mailbox - that is exciting! It also a fantastic service opportunity for out of town clientele - you now always have your designer touches when you need them. This service will not only cover space consulting, but also for renovation and build designs services. So stay tuned.
Whew, so many details! I have already been noting in my design journal things to blog about this month.......and truly excited to see where it goes. So buckle up, and get comfy we are in for a great road trip in Yellow Design.
Fields of Sunflowers.
Honk Honk Honk!
