Parting shots of summer

Hamilton Design Associates

Cool summer breezes blows through the white billowing draperies into all the crevices of the living room, swirling around the fireplace and through the wicker chairs whose shapes undulate with the motion of the wind.

Wild flowers brighten your tables from kitchen to patio and whisper sweet nothings to you at every glance.

The soft bed adorned with silken pillows and cozy cotton awaits your heavy head. You wake to the warm whisper of morning coming through the French doors.

The cool taste of sherbet on your tongue refreshes you on a hot summer afternoon and makes you feel like a kid again.

Laing on the floor, putting your puzzle together, you realize that hours have passed and that you haven’t worried about a thing except where to place that next piece.

Morning peeks around the curtains into your private breakfast area. As you sit sipping your tea, you ponder how you are going to make it out of your pajamas this morning.

Floral patterns bring back childhood memories of slipping into your bed in the evening, listening to the crickets outside and falling asleep to the rhythms of nature.

Your summer novels are piled high in great anticipation of long evenings by the open window, letting the wind gently blow your pages one by one.

I hope your summer has been as wonderful as mine.

Pink!

I just recently posted about a home in House Beautiful that was impeccably designed by Jonathan Berger. In it, he designed an entry way in a bright pink, called Razzle Dazzle by Benjamin Moore, which was a VERY bold choice! And it was fabulous.

I may be incorrect here, but it seems that bright pink is on the front of the design scene right now and wanting to be heard!

Using Pink with Other Colors:

All shades of pink become a different personality when combined with other colors. Pink and orange are playful and vibrant and are commonly used in teenagers rooms or young adults. Pink mixed with black or brown becomes more of a sharp statement of style because of the contrast. See below for more color combinations.

Feng Shui and Pink:

Pink in an environment sooths the heart and fills it with love. Place it in the Southwest area of your home for it to connect to the Love and Marriage aspect of your life.

Popular color combinations using pink

Based on where pink falls on the color wheel, I’ve listed some of the most popular color combinations using pink.
