paint palette inspiration

While flipping through the pages of our April 2011 colour issue, I got so excited about introducing some bold hues into my own space. I was particularly drawn to the paint palette that drew inspiration from an exotic china plate. The story, produced by section editor Catherine Therrien, features paint colours that perfectly match the hues on the plate. I love this idea, because I’m constantly inspired by things I see around me everyday, whether a shape or a colour, and look to mimic it in my home.

Have you ever taken palette inspiration from a shopping find?

It’s the same pristine white bone china you’ve come to expect from Vera Wang’s dinnerware for Waterford Wedgwood, but the doyenne of dreamy wedding dresses (and equally dreamy wedding registry must-haves) has a little fun with a new casual collection. These three new designs mark a radical shift away from her stately classics, and each one crystallizes a contemporary trend — arabesque ribbon, botanicals and ikat.

waterford wedgwood’s elegant table setting

Waterford Wedgwood had a pretty spectacular table vignette at their booth at the Canadian Gift & Tableware Association show this summer.

With eight Louis Ghost chairs set around a table that’s swathed in rouched, silky linens, the effect is totally ethereal, and quite dreamy.

Love the signature Jasper Conran teacup handle – definitely one of the most important features to consider when selecting a china pattern. Seriously!
