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.

In the store: Colorific

Much to our delight, we found recently came across some upholstered pieces that are a feast for the eyes. The two orange club chairs are part of a room vignette that includes lots of chrome and glass, a multi-colored abstract shag area rug, orange and yellow glass and an 8-foot orange fireplace.

Our newest piece is a 12-foot sectional sofa in bright red that has been beautifully reupholstered. I keep trying to figure out a way to smuggle this out of the store and into my house, but I get the feeling the SIL would notice.

Spring is the perfect season for this wonderful burst of color, which officially puts an end to the winter blahs.
