lovely colours in shades of rust...


I've always loved the colours in this picture; the greys of a hazy sea mist, stony blues of the stormy skies and rich oranges in those rusty rocks.  It's actually a holiday snap of mine taken in Portugal a few years ago, but I've filed it for inspiration knowing that I'll want to use it sometime.


Even if I don't have a project in mind or room to design a scheme for, the creative in me is always putting ideas together, rummaging through magazines, collecting images, sourcing fabrics.  From my holiday snap to the beginnings of a scheme idea...


...the fabric above is a gorgeous twist on a damask by Zoffany and this collection shot, as well as having some beautiful shapes and textures encapsulates all the colours in my photo.  Just lovely.

Hope I've offered a little Monday inspiration, have a good week.
