Every Monday I thought I would bring to you a post about colour combinations that work. So this is my first one for you.
All these images make me smile - it is such a bright a cheery pairing of two colours- perfect for the beginning of this week.
I love these two colours when the emphasis is on the white background with the red and aqua used in smaller measures. In the image above the red stool, lampshade and bottle are what draws the eye immediately and then the blue of the wallpaper and objects on the shelves jump out.
The wallpaper and tiles look like they are straight out of a Cath Kidstone advert (she's a fabulous English designer famous for her flowery prints...I'll do a post on her sometime soon) Such a pretty toilet!
Being a white and pastels devotee this combination is too bright for my own interior but I appreciate the magic that happens when these two colours are used together.
What a great idea for the wall behind the cot- scapbook card...simple and cost effective! I adore the cot- I would love this for my little girl Lani - she would look so cute in it.
A bit of quirkiness for the start of the week.

Hey you,
Well, I have to say I knew I was going to follow you within about two seconds of arriving here. I've had a lovely browse through your past posts too. I LOVE your blog!! I'm totally your newest follower.
And, wow, you're so new with your blog! If you need any a hand with anything (though it looks as though you have it all completely in hand) then let me know and it'd be a pleasure to help.
