Swatches


I have just realised that


these pictures from the holiday album


must have had 


a subliminal effect on my


colour choice for new stripy curtains.

  1. So true. My wife and I were just talking about how designers must use the provocative colours in nature to come up with their own palettes. You have some great colour choices there.

  4. Oh wonderful photos, I love them all, such lovely colours and it's so interesting that you are using them in your new curtains. I hope all of your renovations are going well.

  6. I wish I was clever enough to make my own curtains but these are big windows and there isn't enough room here to lay out the fabric. I've asked someone to make them up, not quite as shown here, with the white in between each stripe so they look like three ribbons of colour just once near the top of the curtain. I hope it works out!

  8. That kind of thing happens to me, too. I'll decide to make something or write something, and discover the inspiration after the fact.
    Lovely swatches and inspiration, by the way.
