Bring On The Color!


                           

Fall is my favorite time of year. BY FAR. My husband doesn't let me start decorating for fall until midnight on August 31st, which is very generous of him, since (as he points out multiple times a day for weeks on end) fall doesn't really start until mostly through September.


This year, as I was pulling scarecrows out of storage in early September, he quietly suggested that I put sunscreen on them. Ok, so maybe it was 90 degrees out in early September.


This deep jewel blue on these nightstands is the perfect color for fall. Nothing highlights it better than warm golds, oranges, and browns. Though it also works well with cinnamony colors in winter and bright, light shades in spring and summer. Let's face it--peacock blue is always a winning color.


I used my usual bold turquoise blue base and highlighted it with a black glaze. Aren't those knobs fun? I have the same ones on my buffet, and my client loved them as much as I did and requested them for these pieces. A good hardware match is always the icing on the cake.

Thanks for stopping by!
