Happy Easter!

Easter 2013 I've chosen a contemporary, monochrome colour palette of grey, black, and white with natural elements of warm woods, fresh green foliage and patterned plumage. Strong graphic patterns add a modern touch to the traditional Easter egg. Here are a few of my favourite finds.

Relaxed Country Living

A colour palette of dusted earth tones and soft powdered pigments such as mulberry, raw plaster, putty, charcoal and zinc give a soothing, calming atmosphere to any room. Textures of washed linens, aged rustic wood and natural elements are set against pared down architecture to give this country look a contemporary twist.
