Color, beautiful color

Nothing beats a nice spash of color, and some of my favorites in our store are the fresh green of a Niels O. Møller chair and art work above it, a pair of sweet cantaloupe orange Knoll chairs, the translucent beauty of a small glass display, a watery turquoise blue Belarti table top, a cheerful collection of orange, turquoise and white wire chairs and the bright blue, orange and red in a piece of art in a neutral corner. Each vignette creates a cool visual oasis in the middle of a white-hot Texas summer.

  1. Oh! So lovely. Those Knoll chairs are very nice. One of my friends had a vintage Knoll lounge suite shipped out to them...and it is just heaven to sit on. xx

    1. Grandson #1 really likes the Knoll chairs. The other day, he climbed up in one of the Knoll chairs and said, "Oh, Grammo...you have to try this chair. It's extremely comfy." Sometimes he's just like a little old man! :)

    2. Incidentally, the art in the first photo is right behind the melon-colored Knoll chairs too and looks as good with them as it does with the Moller chair. A big thanks goes out to Circuit12 Contemporary for the artwork!

    1. I love that beautiful green chair under that painting. Just perfect! My SIL usually leaves the floor setting to my daughter, but he placed that there himself! :)

    1. Isn't that great? The sun coming through that glass is amazing. My daughter gets the credit for that arrangement. It must have looked good from the street too, because someone came in yesterday and bought a lot of it.

    1. I think that combo of chairs and art is cheery and summery! I chose the art for that particular display.

    2. I was really drawn to that grouping too. You guys have great eyes and a good sense of the colors and proportions that work together. Cheers - CT

    3. I think the fact that this is our work and our play helps too. Talk about living and breathing something! When you're with something virtually 24/7, the colors and proportions work their way into your brain, and how to display them becomes more instinctive than a conscious decision. ;)

    1. Most of the glass was bought as a result of that display. As for the coffee table, I practically begged my SIL to bring it home for the patio, but he's a retailer at heart and declined. :)

    2. I was in the store a couple of days ago, and a woman came in and bought that ceramic table. I told her how much I (and several readers) love it, and she laughingly said, "Too bad! It's mine now, all mine." Luckily, my SIL forgot to say "I told you so." haha

    3. Wow. Just came back here to look at the genie bottle. It really is exactly the same. What are the odds. I had obviously seen it before I saw it last weekend. Life is so funny.

    4. Subliminal images...gotta love 'em. Somewhere in your brain you recognized it as a great piece, even though you didn't remember ever seeing it before. The human brain is so cool!
