Are you bored with me telling you client stories…? I certainly hope not.
My latest inclination is to blog about real life stuff rather than pontificate on Pinterest images—it’s what inspires me now! And what a great way for me to test my theories than to use you folks as my laboratory—my “think tank”….
Anyway, this particular family of 6 lives on their sofa, a gigantic, but very attractive pale dove gray colored sectional with no pillows on it as of yet.
The room is taking on a global boho-chic kind of feel, in a good way. Drapery is an Indian-esque pink, red and chocolate print that she had already selected. So, I thought I would come up with two options, one for colder months when velvets and chenilles are warranted, and a lighter, but none less bright— option for warmer seasons, where linen and cotton play well.
The thought was to work with the raspberry, magenta, and brown, but to bring in playful sidekicks like teal, acid green and orange to mix it up a bit and have some fun. Otherwise it is too matchy, and you know how I feel about that.
Both work; one is heavier and the other lighter. Do you have a favorite?

Love all of it with one exception…..in the first bar of fabrics after the + sign…that bottom piece is not working for me. Both color and pattern seem odd,
Really like bringing in the acid green and the turquoise.
Great choices but I particularly like that zigzag on the top. Not sure what the fabric is but I can see that as pillows set against that gray sectional. Look forward to seeing the finished room and prefer you talking about real life vs. reviewing images from pinterest…..while fun, that is getting a bit old in blogland
I like the real life posts too – and it’s like instant material for the blog. I prefer reading about real life clients and inspiration rather than just stuff – if that makes sense. I’m really drawn to touch of the blue in the first set of fabrics. This is a fun mix for a family.
Client stories are the best! Can’t wait to hear some more.
