Yellow ceramic tiles by Lubna Chowdhary | Scanned from Elle Decoration February 2012 issue
Well, what a week this has been! It started with an generous invite from Modenus to join Blog Tour 2012 in New York City in March. I'm so excited to be joining some lovely and very talented bloggers in one of my favourite cities in the world. Of course, Mr. Bazaar will be on the lookout for colourful designs during the trip, so expect pins, Instagram snaps, tweets and more of everything that inspires me during the trip. In the meantime, and with the cold temperatures here in London, I'm still dreaming of open fires and crackling logs. I came across this delightful fireplace with divine yellow ceramic tiles by Lubna Chowdhary and it instantly brought a smile to my face. I think it would be perfect as in the summer as it would in winter because the yellow hue makes a fantastic statement in the room. What are your weekend plans, folks?

ReplyDeleteThe yellow works so well in the space and makes a feature of the fireplace even when it's not lit - ideal!
DeleteLOVE this fireplace! What a brilliant (and bright) idea to add just a touch of yellow to the interior.
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear that NYC is one of your favorite cities too. Nothing like it in the world. Though Paris isn't bad either...
You said it - love Paris, too! :)

ReplyDeleteLove this! Let me know if you update it in anyway! Have fun! :)
DeleteThat yellow is Fabulous with a capital F. And, um, can we please grab lunch/drinks/something in March? I'll actually be in San Francisco until the 22nd, but it looks like Blogtour will be in town until the 25th? Please oh please lets make this happen!
ReplyDeleteOoooh! Fabulous idea, thank you for the inspiration :) Congrats on the blog tour!
ReplyDeleteBest.
