red and blue

This weekend the Mister and I went to Barnes and Noble by ourselves.  I read the February issue of House Beautiful cover to cover, and it was full of good stuff.  One house I loved was decorated by Lindsay Coral Harper, and two of the rooms centered around blue and red.

This bedroom looks so crisp and bold. How fantastic are those inlaid night tables?

This living room is lovely. I think the chairs are a bit on the boring side, but the rest of the room really hits it out of the park. I need a bamboo etagere and a blue velvet bench.

But what really looks lovely are the curtains.  Look behind the chair and see the trim on the curtains--the blue banding with the red piping is just excellent.  According to the article the curtains are made from a Kathy Ireland fabric.

Also according to the article, the painting over the fireplace is made of wax, which seems like a poor choice of medium over a fireplace, but I suppose if you are rich you can afford to replace melted art.
