One year ago I consulted on wall colours for this client (below). Then a few weeks ago when he finally got around to painting, he decided not to go with the more earthy shade of gold I had chosen to coordinate with the damask dining chairs, he went instead for fresh and happy, and painted the entire main living, kitchen, and dining room BM HC-4 Hawthorne Yellow! It looks wonderful and feels really fresh and bright!

He then found the fabulous piece of art (above) so of course now the chairs looked muddy and dirty next to both the wall colour and the artwork. Yesterday, I arrived with a bunch of fabric books and we found this one from Robert Allen, Many Stripes, Colour: Leaf. The colour doesn't read exactly right on screen but it works perfectly. It will tie in nicely with the green accents he already has and the blue in the painting along with the yellow on the walls.
Stay tuned for the ‘after’. I also photographed his fabulous turquoise guest room which is coming in another post very soon!
Have a wonderful long weekend my lovelies!
