Radiant Orchard is Pantones 2014 color of the year
 
 
 
 
 
I'm not sure if I'll be adding any of this color to my home, but I did buy a orchid cashmere sweater...

Australian Home of Collections

Penny Mims  and John Buxton have filled their Australian home with collections... Penny has spent a lifetime scouring secondhand shops for furniture, paintings, sculptures and textiles. The midcentury home boasts open interiors, generous light and original architectural features, making it an ideal backdrop for her accumulated possessions.
 
I Like the look of an eclectic assortment of chairs...
 
 
 
A great idea to add a little pattern to a room, just cover a canvas with wallpaper or fabric. Also lace tacked to the window is an inexpensive way to add privacy without loosing light...
 
 
 
 
 
 
Love how the rugs do not match the chair fabric...antique rugs look good with anything.
