I appreciate the labour you have put in developing this blog. Nice and informative.

Love Where You Live said...

The aquamarine door spoke to me, and I'm glad I clicked it. It opened up to some gorgeous photos. Love the dining room and nest of eggs, especially. Love to see posts on color . . . I'm craving it since neutrals so often rule. (Not against neutrals, as I adore the tranquil settings. Color is just so daring and fun....) Will be back to read more. Thanks, -susan

Patricia,
Just got your email and went straight for the green! So glad you posted this nifty study of color (you are quite a high tech gal), anyway, i also love the soothing green dining room by Mary McDonald. I am getting my paint bucket back out and painting my silly chair rail to match my walls. uggh took me forever to trim around those babies! Believe me when i tell you that i will get a few raised eyebrows tomorrow when my guests come over for derby & see how untraditional this Texas girl continues to be.
Thanks Patricia for keeping me hip!

Home Before Dark said...

Thank for you all of the work you did on this post. Beautiful and elegant: like black. I upholstered a little room (a folly of a library) in black and when I showed my neighbor she thought I had gone goth. If she had been Catholic, she would have crossed herself.Love the black exterior. The name is perfect.

I'm in Marrakech and wifi is kind of slow. I'd have to bookmark this post for future reading (when I'm back in Toronto)

Tricia Mitchell said...

Over the weekend I thought of your post on the turquoise aquamarine trend. After visiting the garden center at Home Depot I noticed an all-weather wicker patio set they had on display that had turquoise cushions with black accents. I thought of your post immediately.
Home Depot is on top of this design trend...who knew!

Gina @ The Shabby Chic Cottage said...

Tiffany box blue....my all-time fave! Of course, it could be because I'm addicted to Tiffanys....

Scribbler said...

I just found your wonderful blog via someone's blogroll!

I do believe it is one of the best I have ever read. I am a retired designer, and I think your posts on color are excellent.

My favorites are the ones on turquoise and white rooms.

LIBERTY POST EDITOR said...

I love all of these posts. I enjoyed all of them...except..you know..I'm a little off about yellow (unless it's soft butter yellow)..I adore turq/aqua post - but I have to admit - Back to Black is my favorite! Looking forward to more colour lessons.

avant garde said...

that white bedroom is intriguing. sometimes people forget, whether it's in designing spaces, packaging clothing etc....the power of white. it's elegant, classic and always so easy on the eyes. fun post to look through, have a great weekend!

Becky said...

I think your posts on color are excellent. I am also from Vancouver.
