A Comeback for Olive Green

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

As an expert Seattle interior designer I attend many events at the Seattle Design Center. Last week Leatrice Eiseman, leading color expert, spoke about color trends. She is the person who designated turquoise as the color of 2010. Some other tidbits about other colors came from Q & A. The power of green from the lime shades to old venerables, like olive green, continues after banishment in the 1970’s. So I share this image below to welcome olive green to your color vocabulary.

Designers Fisher and Weisman of San Francisco upholstered tufted sofas in olive green linen velvet. The key to the success of the olive green is mixing it with golds, yellows, soft oranges and browns. What a beautiful setting.

Faith Sheridan Teams with Salvation Army and Angel Helper

Friday, December 18th, 2009

Over the past two months this expert Seattle interior designer collaborated with a fellow designer, Bonnie Bagley on a rewarding opportunity to use our design talents. Approached by Salvation Army NW and Angel Helper via the Seattle Design Center, Bonnie and I reached out to our vendors and created two warm, comfortable bedrooms for a mother and daugher. You can read the story here.

Karen and her daughter are domestic abuse survivors so the cozy cocoons can nurture them safely. With lots of support from the design community, they now have carpet underfoot in their bedrooms, new bed linens, and more. Fresh colorful towels and a shower curtain add to their bath.
