Springy

This bedroom isn’t at all in line with what I like. I looked at it, and dismissed it. Pink, floral drapes and bed, clashing with the bright green—mmph. But the next time I saw it, I was absorbed by it. And the next, I liked it. Funny how that works.
It’s grown on me, hugely. Cheerful, optimistic, and alive. I would never have combined these elements together. The white molding and the details on the drapes glow against the deep green, and I like the effect of the polished black lampshade. A light turquoise is sprinkled in that pink headboard, brought out by the upholstered chair. Again, never would have combined these—and I love the effect. I smile every time I see it.

Doesn't this look peaceful and bright? This seems like the perfect way to eat breakfast and wake up fully.
These colors are normally ones I avoid, but the work beautifully in this room. The turquoise and the vivid dapples of orange make the nature outside all the more lovely. The table and chairs are fine, but obviously not the center of attention in this gorgeous setting.
