Since my last color story post was “Aqua & Poppy”, I think you see a trend here. I love aqua. It is the perfect shade of cool, clean, chic, and cozy to me. So really, aqua paired with just about anything is lovely. While brainstorming ideas for our living room, I came across this zigzag Sanderson wallpaper and fell in love.

It has this subtle watercolor feel to it, and I think it needs to come live with me. The colors in my living room are aqua, cream, chartreuse, a deep grey/blue, and a pop of yellow. It is coming together, but with the construction we have going on at our house, and my surgery, projects have slowed down a bit. Check out these rooms for some aqua and chartreuse inspiration – just what I needed, and I hope you enjoy it, too.

What do you think of this color story? Does it have a place in your home?
My head is pretty much a continuous current of design. Ideas are bouncing around everywhere, and I get inspired by everything from a local art exhibit to the paint trim pattern on the mini train you can ride around my city. (You would have seen those photos if you follow me on Instagram @graceelizmitchell)
But there are rooms and elements of rooms and color schemes and patterns I fall in love with instantly, and I remember them forever, fondly thinking about them from time to time like old friends.
Today I am sharing one of my old friends with you, a room designed for the 2011 DC Design House by Lauren Liess of Pure Style Home. I j’adore her fabric line, and her style in many ways is my happy place. Natural elements layered with lots of texture, a little industrial, and a touch of moodiness, all brought together with some color.

What adds a more organic textural feel than grasscloth wallpaper? I love how it’s on the ceiling, too!
It’s so difficult to say what my favorite part of the room is because I sincerely love so much of it, but the “Princess and the Pea-esque” hideaway is way up there.

Sweetly styled vignette – I love the feel of imagination and coziness this evokes.
