color blocking in the home (via )

Wow, certainly colourful. Whatever happened to 40 shades of taupe?

color blocking in the home It seems like every fashion publication's favorite trend of the season is "color blocking." Really? It's all been done before.. or at least I've been color blocking since the beginning of my days and I'm sure all of you have too. But here's an idea: let's do it in our homes!

Chair Couture. (via the velvet fantastic)

Wow ! Awesome modern velvet on antique chairs.

Chair Couture. I came across Chair Couture and literally couldn't stop thinking about it.  Is that weird?
