This is a fabulous external colour scheme I worked on last year where the client was brave enough to go with the bold blue colour I suggested for the front door. You can see more pics from this project on my Houzz folio.
Coming up to the end of the year my mind can't help but drift towards Christmas, New Year celebrations and impending holidays. With the warmer weather already here, I can't help but feel like there is a part of me already on holidays - which got me thinking to how you can make that feeling last after you return from a trip.
A couple of years ago my husband and I went to Europe and fell in love with Greece and Turkey. We brought back far too many hand painted ceramics as we just loved the memories we knew they would give us for years to come. Taking this idea one step further, I love the idea of having those memories front and centre by incorporating the motifs and colours into a kitchen splashback or mural - whether your home is modern or more traditional.
Anyone who is a fan of Miriam Margolyes will pick the 'Great Globes of Glory' reference but when I saw this image on Design*Sponge recently, that phrase sprang to mind. I just love globes and have two of them myself - one geographical (blue & green) and one political (brown & other colours). I have noticed a bit of a trend towards re-purposing the humble globe lately - particularly as light fittings - which I love.
