Bright Blues

I was awe struck when I saw this image featured on the cover of the Inside Out Decorating & Renovating Guide, so much so, that when I lent it to my sister I couldn't wait til she returned it so I bought another. It's as lush on this inside as it is on the outside - hence the name I guess. The 'fabrics' editorial starting on page 121 is absolutely incredible...crumbling walls, richly patterned tiles, a lace valance, light through sheer curtains, layered collections of blue ceramics, butterfly plates and single stems. Turn to page 142 for the 'paint' story inspired by a banquet of richly hued roses and hydrangeas, baby pears and ginger flowers, rosehips and quince. Divine.
