Moroccan Pouffe

I've been thinking about getting a Morrocan Pouffe for my living area for quite sometime now, but something has always held me back. But I just don't know what it is!

They suit a wide variety of design styles and are so practical as little side tables or of course to put your feet up on as you sit with your laptop on your lap blogging away (right?)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For those of you who have been reading my blog for a while now would know that my living space is white, yellow with touches of grey and silver. 

Louise at Table Tonic has every colour under the sun to choose from, 

so I have narrowed my choices down IF I go ahead and get one they would be ...

I didn't put the white as I already have a lot of white going on so I'm thinking of some contrast.

They're only $199, not a huge dent in the budget but still it has to be a carefully considered decision!

I would love to hear which colour you think I should go for or if you have another opinion in colour (or even style) I would definitely appreciate any and/or all of your feedback.

Thanks !

What's your favourite colour?

I think I've made it pretty obvious that mine is yellow, it just makes me happy...

Many people like to use their favourite colour in their space, which is great because after all your home is a reflection of who you are. But some people just go OTT and splash their favourite colour all over the place. You know what I mean, all four walls covered in red or blue along with every accessory. But if you just add touches of your favourite colour to a neautral background, it will pop even more and be much more effective. And it can work in any room in the house.

What's your favourite colour for your home?

JuJu Hats

Since Monday I have been thinking and thinking about this gorgeous Juju hat from Table Tonic. Not only is it yellow which as we know by now is one of my favourite colours but is also my accent colour for my living room. I have looked at these for awhile now and I have decided I want it! I want to put it on the large blank wall I have at the end of my livin area above the new sofa (that I still have to get!!)

Colour Theory : Yellow

I've posted once before that yellow will be my accent colour that I use in my white living area. There's something I really love about yellow but only in small doses, all you need is a hint of it for a bit of "punch"!

Yellow shines with optimism, enlightenment, and happiness. Shades of golden yellow carry the promise of a positive future. Yellow will advance from surrounding colors and instill optimism and energy, as well as spark creative thoughts. How the color yellow affects us mentally and physically - Mentally stimulating, stimulates the nervous system, activates memory, encourages communication - sensational colour

Choosing the paint colours

It's been a crazy week at work but I now have time to finalise the paint colours. This, I thought wouldn't be too hard.....wrong!

The upstairs is fine. The main bedroom will be a beautiful pale grey, Resene - Double Concrete and the second bedroom will be a beautiful pale blue Dulux - Pre School Half. Both rooms will have beautiful crisp white trims.

The challenge has been the white for downstairs and all other spots of the house. So these are my choices Dulux whites - Whisper White or Lexicon Quarter or Antique White USA. I thought Whisper White as that is the colour we used to paint the store at work and it looks lovely. Lexicon Quarter because I saw an image that Greg Natale did and it look amazing. Antique White USA because it is so well known and widely used, however part of me feels it's a safe white! I'm edgeing towards Lexicon Quarter because I want the crisp, fresh white that will look fantastic with my yellow accent colour.

My inspiration for the living area has come from the great Ivy Bar in Sydney and from The Viceroy Hotel in Palm Springs, designed by the amazing Kelly Wearstler.
