A RECURRING THEME...

Not that I usually recommend one color palette for an entire home (unless you have a very small space to work with) but....

The mix of rich teal with pops of red has been one that just seems to stick with me! Yesterday I reported from my twitter that there is still a big surge of teal in the marketplace - we saw it in lots of leather goods in High Point - but my favorite way to use it is definitely as a base for the room - whether on the walls, cabinets or floors - with that pop of red and plenty of natural light so it doesn't feel too heavy. Do you think this a color scheme that's doable for your home?

    I've always loved this combo, but tend more towards it in fashion. I struggle incorporating red into my interior at all. The prospect of so many shades of red, makes the process daunting. Gorgeous images though!

  3. I love the dining chairs. The floral pattern is so fun & lively - a little pop of color that I wouldn't get bored with.

  5. I fell in love with teal when I saw an upholstered sofa at Calypso Home at the Brentwood Country Mart last year. Teal is such a sophisticated color and looks incredibly with punches of orange and graphic black and white.

    Thanks for the updates for those who could not make it to Highpoint
