Adrianne Heston's Profile

The nice thing about being an adult is that if I want, I can eat my dessert before dinner and that is my choice.

But where the outside of my fridge is concerned,
I enjoy being a kid.
I would never WANT to live with a non-magnetic fridge. My fridge is my own personal art gallery/family album/inspirational bulletin board.
Every so often I change things around(new photos, art postcards, fortunes from chinese cookie(some of the best advice I have ever received came from fortune cookies) and whatever inspires me at the moment.

No "adult fridge" for me.
I enjoy my fridge as a space for creative expression.

NB. the inside however is clean, organized and uncluttered......just the way I like it!

Wow!(Les gouts ne se discutent pas!)

That is what I love about design and colour:
the psychology that comes into play.
Individual likes and dislikes cannot be questionned(in the grand scheme of things) because one person's "Poppy Petal" paint sample is another person' "feminine, Granny peach".
While I do have colours that I could never live in, there really are no ugly colours.......only ugly colour COMBINATIONS.

I do think the space is muc improved and Michael seems happy....which is the important part.

Having said that, I do see some things that need tweeking.

#1- An attempt was made for the accent wall to be less heavy and overbearing by the placement of the drapes and sheers. Unfortunately my eye is now drawn to the curtain rod and the space above them.
SOLUTION: I would have hung everything just below th ceiling line to really play with the height.

#2- Both sides of the room are a better use of space but I feel that there is a disconnect between the two sides with regard to the colour palettes as well as with the overall themes that were created. The side with the accent wall feels to me to be more "Parisian flea market/found objects/architectural salvage" than anything related to Tuscany. And then the map and its colour palette usually brings to mind more of a "mid-century/ retro" feel to it than an allusion to Tucany.
Solution: For Tuscany colour I would have gone less "pink-ey peach" and more "terra cotta at sunset" ......while still keeping the hue luminous.

Now the other side of the room feels much more formal in comparison. And faded with its neutral colour palette. The formal vs. flea market could be a workable, dynamic contrast if they were not on opposite sides of the room. So I believe the two styles have to be mixed up a lot more.

And finally, some colours from the side of the accent wall need to be repeated on the other
side to create a more cohesive flow for the eye.
The art on the wall above the sofa is not enough to bring the eye back and forth between the two sides. Solution:throw pillows, more colours in the art work above the sofa.....perhaps more colour in the "knicky-knacks/collection (which seems too sober and fading into the background at the moment). A little more punch and playfulness......

'K.....enough of the BLAH! BLAH! BLAH!......
I'm all inspired out!

Oops!
PS: I have my doubts about the colours in the area rug being a good match to the room's overall palette.
