Colour Blocking

I have been so out of Touch lately...But I'm back and filled with so much Inspiration...Hope you enjoy these Spreads...

Colour Blocking hit the Fashion scene about a year ago...and it has been slowly creeping into Our Homes. I am always eager to explore New Adventures in the design world...and this is "One" I will definately not miss out on....

Here are some Inspirational Boards depicting "Colour Blocking"

Happy Colour Blocking...'Til next time...FK:-)

Pastel Power

Pastel Shades are slowly moving away from Little Girls' Bedrooms...and moving more and more into the other Spectrums of our Homes...Lovely in Kitchens and Bathrooms.

These Sorbet Colours are calming and soothing...In Fashion we are finding more Men opening up to these Shades...Teaming up a Lemon Shirt with a Pastel Pink Tie - This seems to be the latest Trend.

For Wedding Inspiration - Bridesmaids individually dressed in an array of Sorbet Shades make-up beautifully...

If you like me...and Love Ice-cream...then let us bring these Pastel Colours back from our Child-hood and introduce them once again into Our Home...Happy Decorating-Ice-cream Style..."Til next Time FK:-)

Moody Hues...



"Moody Blues"

 I am so Moody for Blue at the moment...It's never been a favourite of mine as I have always been more drawn to fun; vibrant Colours...I stem more towards your Russet Tones like Oranges and Browns...More the Autumn Hues...

But with all the Indigo Blues and Denim-washed Blues popping up all over...I just can't resist...and I am having such fun experimenting with Blue and being out of my Comfort Zone....Why not not try it...Perfect for Boy's Bedrooms; Patios and Sundecks; Kitchens; Laundry Rooms...the List is Endless.

Have Fun with Blue...It's not all Doom and Gloom...
'Til next time...FK:-)

I just love the Work of Celebrity Designer's Colin and Justin...so I have decided to dedicate this post to them. I absolutely love their "Before and After" Display of their work done and this has Inspired me soooh much! I have vowed that from now on I will take pictures "before" I attempt any Project and ensure "after" pictures on completion.

"Colour Match"

"Benjamin Moore - Wythe Blue(HC-143)"
Matched up in Dekade -Glacial Lake (8514-1)
Matched up in Dulux -Jewelled Creek 4(30BG 56/097)

 I absolutely love this Colour...It is one the most "Peaceful" and "Serene" colours you can find. I also find that it is one of those Colours which works very well with Neutral Tones from All White Hues to Shades of Beige.

Take a Look at these Colour Schemes where this Colour was best used....
