Dear Everyone:

Identified 2 more images in

my series on summer flowers.

A close-up of a lush planting

by a shed structure (revisited)

and a path through or

edged by lavender.

Hope you enjoy these images.

Decorating project 2010

Dear Everyone:

I am assisting a sophisticated

30-something friend on decorating

her residence.

The colour scheme to date

includes aqua, red, gray and

lavender.

The current thinking is

a master bedroom with aqua walls,

a lavender comforter, and red accents.

The aqua walls replace the Sariskar

wallpaper we had been considering.

Shown are a few relevant images

with their source in brackets.

My friend loves red and wants a touch

of red in every room.

Hope you enjoy this peek

into her project.

Helen.

Lilac Rose 2009

Lilacrose2009

Still looking at taupe and lilac/lavender.

Pictured an image of a stylized, flat rose
with matt lilac and lavender on a taupe

background.

Used my own photos for the

sketches.

Quite like the results. Might

work on it again tomorrow.

Have a repeat-it-'til-you

-get-it-right kind of day.

Helen.

Decorating

I had to share this.

I have been assisting a young, stylish 30 something

friend with some ideas for decorating her condo.

She loves red and has a red sofa.

I proposed lavender, red and grey and white for her

living room. For her master bedroom I proposed

lavender and red and white or shades of purple and white.

As it happened she had a metallic purple comforter for

her bedroom already and so we were off to a good start.

Imagine my shock when I saw this colour combination

yesterday in a current issue of a shelter magazine

(Veranda). It was an advertisment for a wallpaper

from Osborne and Little. It is quite a striking wallpaper-

see enclosed.

Wow. I guess we were on the right track

with our colour schemes. I hadn't seen lavender

and red put together in an interior prior to this ad.

Have a pleasant-surprises-add -years-to

your-life kind of day.

Helen.
