style :: and the winner is

Apartment Therapy's Fall Colors Contest is over and the winners have been chosen. I wasn't as keen on the US design as I was on the International design winner. This one pops with color - so lively and inviting - I just love it! Check it out -

Zee and John's philosophy in decorating their two bedroom 1930's terraced house in Dublin Ireland was "...when decorating, we instinctively chose the things we liked best and that worked well together, and the results turned out to be pretty colourful. I’ve always been colourful in the way I dress and have never been very good at working with a neutral palette — it doesn’t come naturally to me. We find that filling our home with our favourite colour combinations is stimulating and mood elevating..."

And that it is. It's JUST COOL!

FLOWER POWER

It's back! My teen years were spent steeped in flower power. Mod fashion, pop art, mini skirts and brightly painted vw bugs. There were peace signs, Woodstock , bob dylan, andy warhol, timothy leary, sit-ins,vietnam,grungy bare feet and bellbottoms. Appliances were avocado green and coppertone brown, ceilings were low, and teenagers high. Sunshine wasn't only the warm yellow rays of the sun and a nickle wasnt just a coin that paid for a five cent stamp. (that was the going rate of a first class letter, a hershey bar, a bottle of coke and a phone home from the now extinct glass phone booth)
Luckily , parts of that 60's era got left behind.And fortunately there are ones that have come full circle and emerged today just as bright as ever. Like Flower Power. I love this resurge of abstract flower designs I am finding. What a statement these make in modern interiors today. A splashy pillow or a funky retro chair done in a mod floral design give any room a fresh new POW! Reprodepot has some prints that are JUST COOL!
