BowieBelle Vintage & Upcycled Furniture: December 2014

Home Decor

How refreshing that in the mist of the winter months we can cheer ourselves

up with the beautiful winter flowers that

are still around, Such vibrant stunning colours they capture my imagination

and inspire me.

Such warm lush colours, from the rich

berries to plums and purples.

These colours really do inspire us all

In homedecor and furnishings to

the clothes and make-up we wear.

Personally I have to say I have bought

myself a new lipstick ' lush life' by Mac

just to brighten me up!

Greens:

Then we have the tranquil and uplifting shades of green that brings us back to appreciate nature it lifts the soul and calms the mind.

As we move forward to spring I may possibly use shades of green paint in furniture or possibly paint a statement piece or I may find myself upholstering seats with green in mind! We will have to see what grabs my attention in the fabric world.

Ahhh and then we have lovely pinks! what a great cheery colour to brighten up your winter months. You can always add pops of pink when dressing your home.

Merry Christmas

Come, they told me pa- ram - pam -pam

A new born king to see. our finest gifts

we bring, Peace in earth can it be?

years from now perhaps, we'll see

see the day of glory see the day when

men of good will live in peace, Live in

peace again. Peace on earth can it be?

Every child must be made aware

Every child must be made to care,

care enough for his fellow man, to

give all the love that he can. I pray

my wish will come true for my child

and your child to.

He'll see the day of glory see the day when men of good will live in peace, live in peace again.

Peace on earth can it be..

Pa - ram - pam - pam Pa - ram pam -pam.

Merry Christmas much joy and

happiness to you.

Trends Fashion

How are we feeling about some of

the lush colours released from

'Pantone' The trend for 2015? Marsala. Deep dusky reds combining pink tones robust wines an overall lovely warm rich colour.

We can mix it up! and create varying shades, darker or lighter bold or subtle mixed with other colours according to your own taste and style, that's the great thing about colour!

I have already discovered it in beauty products we will also be finding it in fashion too! In the home in soft furnishings fabrics and paint!

I'm quite feeling it myself the colour is slightly reminiscence of the 1970's vibe!
