As I mentioned in
this post; visiting London last month was a treat...... such a vibrant city and such a feast for the eyes! I literally felt as if I were walking in a Kate Spade ad amongst all of the perfectly manicured boxwoods, brightly colored doors and storefronts, the red phone booths and double-decker buses; and dapper taxis..... perfection. However, the visual that keeps coming back to me is that of the choir space in Westminster Abbey. Specifically, the stunning red lampshades lined up majestically and casting the warmest of glows.
I've always had an
affinity for a touch of red in decors and this has "sealed the deal". I'm officially on the hunt for the perfect red lampshade to add to my home in the States..... an element of surprise or whimsy in a room or a statement maker (I'm not sure yet)..... Here's some inspiration.....
.... for a little "London calling" each day! :)
the designer who helped my Mom with my childhood home way back in the 70's once said "every room needs a little touch of red." It still holds true....and your red lighting the perfect example. Great idea
ReplyDeleteHa! You're right ties in perfectly with my post today! I'd say in your home it would be a statement maker!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea...the second image is one of my favorite rooms....
ReplyDeleteLove it! The solid on desk is my favorite because it really pops against background.
ReplyDeleteAhhh the color red...it's my favorite. Thanks so much, Crissy, for your love and comments on Parker's second birthday. What a huge compliment, and it just made my whole week. :) Much love to you, Chris, and the girls.
ReplyDeleteYou know I love red! You've got me thinking about the new kitchen....
ReplyDeleteWow crissy...you've inspired me. I think you found the best possible red pictures!! Love that kitchen with the red shades!! Would be fun to have a couple of different shade colors to switch out for a change!!
ReplyDeleteYou can never go wrong with a little red. Love Westminster Abbey - hope you got to St. Paul's too. Have a great weekend.
