Colour

Thank you so much to everyone that emailed and commented about getting an agent.  You guys are awesome!

I really enjoyed putting the post together last week about colours that I loved and was inspired by.  And colour is definitely an area I am trying to work on at the moment.  So I thought I would share some more colour inspiration with you.  This week it's vibrant colour!  A little early but these colours have me thinking of the height of summer ... maybe a seaside home in Portugal or Mexico? 


I love the contrast of the vibrant colours with the muted worn background.  This is a carpet from the 'Tufted' collection (the image is theirs) found via the gorgeous blog Poppytalk.


These summery brights from Zara Home are also fantastic.    If you look at my artwork and illustrations you might think that my home is all light and soft colours ...but I always find myself drawn to these particular whites and brights too.


What would you call this sort of palette?   It also reminds me of this awesome handmade felted wool ball rug.  These are made in India and you can buy them at Krita here.  I would love one of these for Yashar's room!  Do you think they would wear well?

It does look great and it should prob last well as it is not in a busy traffic area. Go for it! x
