Aubergine & Green

I have a weakness for a spring chartreuse-y green color and Todd Alexander Romano's room is punctuated with fabulous pops of the color against aubergine walls. Not sure if you can tell in the photos but there is even an aubergine trim from Samuel & Sons along the edge French Empire chair upholstery. You can read the entire story of how this room came about at The New York Times if you haven't already read your 10 free stories for the month. The dining room in The Kips Bay Decorator Show House is a perfect mix of modern and traditional that I think too many people are afraid to try but as you can looks amazing. 

I'm off to cover another show house now because my work is never done. 

Bon Weekend!

Blue & Green Christmas

Someone asked me what color theme I was going to use for decorating this year. Um, the one that results from whatever I find when I unpack my decorations.  I haven't had a big tree for years so I didn't even think about working around a color scheme.  If I do plan one for next year, I might go with blue and green.  It would certainly coordinate with my decor and as you can see from these photos, it looks pretty darn chic.  Bon Weekend!
