And daisies
and violets and daffodils and lilies and pansies and peonies and orchids! Yes,
everywhere I look… flowers. Beautiful flowers!
Have you
ever noticed that trends in shoes seem to match trends in interior design? Or
is it just me? Seems like when everyone is decorating with neutral colors and
creating calm and relaxing environments, the shoes become very classic and
almost understated. Basic black. Nude. Winter white. And now as I’m seeing
almost every magazine cover feature color and how to use bright colors, I know
that my closet has a Skittles assortment of heels.
If you are
following my line of thinking here, you will agree that it is no coincidence
that I have wound up with shoes with flowers on them at the same time that florals are making a comeback in home decorating! If you have also gone flower power crazy, you might enjoy some other
blooming beauties that have caught my eye….
Country
Living, May issue, page 29… love, love, love this chest that has been
upholstered with swatches of floral Indian bedding.
Traditional
Home, May issue, page 94… this wallpaper makes me never want to buy a gallon of
paint again. These are the happiest little whimsical flowers I’ve ever seen.
Veranda,
May/June issue, page 112 – page 117… yes, six gorgeous pages on mixing flowers
with indigenous art. Breathtaking!
One of the terrific things about our Drexel Heritage designers is that they can always tell
you how to do a little or how to do a lot of something you like. You might agree that floral wallpaper is divine, but you might have some
trepidation about papering your bedroom with it. If that’s the case, bedding is
a safer bet. Floral accessories are a snap. Photos, paintings, throw pillows or simply
gather up a bunch of blooms from the backyard, arrange them in an old glass
bottle and voila! You have a centerpiece.
