Kathy Dalwood's Bold Use of Color
Boston

We admit that we're a little afraid to go all the way...with color! We've always admired Tricia Guild for fearlessly using bright colors in her interiors and fabric, but never quite felt we were ready. Then we saw what Kathy Dalwood is doing and we're inspired to be less safe...

Kathy Dalwood's Shift Design is a small design-led company in the UK headed by Kathy Dalwood, an innovative British artist. Kathy runs her own interior design service firm and also collaborates on producing unique products with design store Habitat. She says that "inspiration comes from all sorts of unlikely places." We think her website is one of them!

Great, great colors. But does anyone else slightly cringe at the books arranged by color (see website)? Looks great but makes me queasy.

Dirty minds.

Juliaonhamilton, it's the "Afraid to go all the way" phrase, but between you and me, I think Eleno may be a little over sensitive... Perhaps (s)he is afraid of doing the same?

Ditto on the headboard. Where can I buy it?
