A new color scheme

I'm starting a new project. And in a completely different color scheme then my normal blues ...
This client wants a lot of black and white with accents of red. I have to be honest, the red didn't thrill me. I was thinking more of a bright yellow. So I went off looking for a little inspiration ... a place to start. Which for me is usually fabric.


I find it interesting how well the fabric I chose for my jumping off point happens to go with the new Marimekko wrapping paper that I found at Crate and Barrel. I wonder if I was subconsciously influenced!

  1. Isn't it funny how sometimes you aren't thrilled about a color choice initially and then your thoughts change completely and you fall in love once you find the right fabric or inspiration piece? I had a similar situation recently but it turned out well. I love that fabric that you chose.

  3. Sherri,
    I'm with you, I'm not a big fan of blk, white and red either but the fabric you found brings it all together beautifully!
