Brown - gilded with an update.

Chocolate brown certainly had its heyday - paired with pink or maybe baby blue it dominated the colour spectrum in the early 2000s, but fear not chocolate lovers - I think it's making a comeback - with gold! 

There is something about brown and gold that evokes luxury and opulence (to me anyways). So whether it be velvet or leather, gold matt or polish - indulge in this combination of sophistication.

Sleeping Under the Canopy

With autumn swiftly on the rise it is time to wrap up and indulge in the hibernation of the season. Originally developed to keep kings and queens warm through the night canopy beds exude luxury and comfort.

Below is an image from the May/June 2011 issue of Lonny Mag. It is the home of Caroline Robert who is the owner if perch in New Orleans (http://www.perch-home.com/). I love how this look retains simplicity, while making a beautiful impact. The pom pom trim is a fun detail and gives the treatment a bespoke feel. The monogram pillows with red detail add a visual point of interest without being overbearing.
