a colour story - cranberry & lime


It sounds like the recipe for a Christmas cocktail - cranberry & lime! Actually, just my take on a little festive seasonal colour. As you know, traditional forest green & red is not really me.
And with the resurgence of colour in interiors, why not enjoy a jewel bright Christmas palette. This pink is anything but sugar coated! The look is all about playing with colour, texture and scale. Mix it up to create a look that is confident, exuberant and full of joy!







Cranberry & Lime. Now isn't that a festive way to start the week!

P.S Thanks so much for all your kind wishes last week! All is well again in my world.

  1. It's a lovely combination, and such a confident look, especially with the touches of ice-blue in one of the photos. Streets ahead of red and green.

  2. It is a gorgeous festive look - makes red and green look so pedestrian.

  4. Absolutely my preference to the usual red & green. Stunning images, the first pic is luscious, and that beautiful anenome with the lime in the background, and those glorious candles... my heart pounds.

  5. Me too - I'm a CRAMOISIE girl too (crimson)! Why exclude the cocktail idea though? ;-) It would all go well together I say!

  7. What a wonderful combination of colours and very brave. I'm a scardy cat when it comes to colour and always wish that I could be a little braver.I'm not a pink person but this isn't pink . It's gorgeous and very festive. XXXX
