Icecream Chippendale Chairs...

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:118%;">These beautiful chairs just arrived in the <a href="http://www.adaanddarcy.com.au/">boutique</a> and aren't they just so lovely. The bottom aqua carver with the geometric fabric has already been sold to a very happy customer although is available to be ordered if anyone was interested. I'm so tempted to keep a couple of these little beauties for myself - one as a darling occassional chair and the other as a desk chair, surely even after a bit of a bad day these could lighten the mood!?

Quick DIY: An outdoor coffee table at my place

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Mum popped by on the weekend for a quick afternoon tea and decided I needed to give our outdoor table a quick DIY facelift. This table has been painted all sorts of colours and this week I have used a <a href="http://www.porterspaints.com/">Porter's Paint</a> {Duchess Satin /Ambassador Stirling colour) to make it look pretty. The metallic finish is such an interesting look for an outdoor piece but nonetheless I was delighted with the result and was happy to see it sparkling alway in the natural light. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I also couldn't resist showing you that bunch of yellow roses. Such tiny little flowers on each stem but so, so many of them. Think I might have to find more over the weekend.

Using colour in your home

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">My lovely readers often say to me that they are nervous playing with colour and often find themselves sticking with safer options that they "know" they will like. Whilst I too adore whites and neutrals, I find it very rewarding to try brighter options on furniture and accessorising with pops of colour.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">I have also become braver over time and started to realise, using colour on items that can be changed is the perfect way to give something a new look and lift without feeling locked in. My favourite way to use colour is on smaller items of furniture, cushions and accessories as they can be moved around the home and updated again very easily.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">For my Australian readers who are thinking about venturing out into painting furniture with brighter options I would highly recommend </span><a href="http://www.porterspaints.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Porters Paints</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> who offer the most delightful selection of colours. And the best thing about the </span><a href="http://www.porterspaints.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Porters</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> range is they sell little tiny samples so you aren't forced to buy 1 litre of paint, you can take a couple of little samples home, try them out and then make an informed decision about the best colour for you. Too easy I say!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">I thought these examples were beautiful uses of colour.
