 AN 'ALL SEASONS' UPDATE

 

A while ago, I began thinking that the living room at South Acres was too wintry and a little too brown.  What to do?  A quick search and I came up with a palette that I hope works with the carpet and the red chair.  I had the two sofas recovered in a neutral linen the chair in soft aqua.  What do you think? 


the 'wintry' version

even with updated ottoman - I still felt it looked drab
the new palette
I think I am happy with the result...interior photographing is so difficult..

 taken last night..  new fabric definitely lightens up the room


are we ever completely sure of our decisions?

    Perfect! I lamented over the white covering for our sofas, the family was up in arms. I had to go a bit darker. I love your pillow fabric, very flexible for both summer and winter. Well done! :) xx

      Thank you Jeanne! I think I might regret the colour on the sofas.. Bunny and Penny are currently in conference regarding the havoc they could wreak after their many farming pursuits!

    Thank you Kit I really appreciate your opinion! I think I saw on your blog you are travelling to France soon? If you visit Paris and haven't been Deyrolle on Rue du Bac, please do.... I was there recently and posted about my visit on my other blog. It is the most fascinating place ever !
