Pastels, Natural Wood, Neon and Hints of Copper

Interiors

Feb 6

Hello everyone! How was your weekend? I hope it was a good one. I got stranded in Holland due to the weather but made the best out of it and as a result, made some new friends and got to meet up with Eline Pellinkhof in her home city of Haarlem AND I was able to see a shop I've longed to see for several years now called Ottomania. It was such a great experience and I'm so glad that bad weather brought me to Haarlem though the travel bit was just horrible. I'm home now and made a little "me" time this morning as a result of the stressful journey back by train (a 4 hour trip took 17 hours and two days of freezing on platforms trying to go east into Germany) so a salon visit made everything right again. Total girl power! I thought I'd begin this week by announcing some good news and spotting a lovely trend. I thought I'd share the trend first and then, my next post, will highlight the very good news.

This is a trend I spotted in Amsterdam last week when I was out and about with Stephanie Rammeloo who is also quite keen on this color combination, too. I saw these tones together on a wall and my heart exploded with joy! It made me so happy to see something before me that I felt such an immediate connection to. Have you ever felt like that about a color palette? I thought to show you the palette best, I'd share some products and images that fit the scheme I'm referring to since I know you're visual and well, seeing is really believing, isn't it? From mere text, it wouldn't seem as though a soft pastel like (god forbid I say this word), "peach", would look great with neon pink, mint green, butter cream yellow and bold copper but oh.my.goodness it SO does. See for yourself...
