Canadian House & Home: October 2008

Melody Duron's duplex reminds us that a colorful home doesn't have to be aggressively so; there's a subtlety and richness in the details of her home that is just as effective at conveying a vibrant communion with color.

The most saturated colors in her home are in little, intricate elements: the deep purple geode and blue patterns on the vases, the antique rugs and chartreuse window treatments, a red branch, a bronze side table.

Gorgeous - I love all of those sheers and that Chinese altar is exquisite.

Love the display, but how does the orchid under the table get any light at all? They're low-light plants but that's extreme. Sorry, I hate staging with plants in places they clearly could not live long-term.

Absolutely beautiful! If I had the choice to decorate my place like this, I definately would. Just fantastic!

this is more my idea of color for the home---color that will last forever and can be added to over time with found joy.
