~bartender, hot chocolate, please. It's cold.
I need to get some coloured things to my new place dealt with. I want blue things in my bedroom, orange and gray things in my living room, and yellow and green things in my kitchen.
The bedroom is pretty barren for now, but a blue carpet helps it a bit. The pre-installed curtain is dark blue, so that's nice. The room itself is pale white. It does contrast pretty well on the blue, I just need more blue.
The living room has my orange sofa and some grey items around it. They work together nicely. Copper and steel, if we take the steampunk way of thinking.
But my kitchen. It is pale with white surfaces. I need to find pale yellow (or pale green) curtains. My friend found me a beautiful Dutch enameled tile made in the 1800s, which is green and yellow, but which I haven't found a good spot for. I have a citrus poster to hang up with greens and yellows (and oranges) if I had a frame and a hook. I also have a little painted card another friend painted me with a bunch of green in it, I need another hook to hang that one up too. The only things that fit my kitchen colour scheme here are my houseplants, which need a space of their own somewhere else than on my dinner table, and a golden sheaf of barley I keep in a vase.
My balcony is an extension of the kitchen. Once the weather turns warm in spring, it'll fill up with verdant green plants.
My colour scheme isn't set in stone, it couldn't possibly be, but when thinking of decorations, I try to keep those themes in mind.
I have a bright red enameled pomegranate decoration I bought in Spain. I need to make a home for it in the kitchen.
Outside, it's bright and white with snow now. The grey days are over for a while. It's still dark, but the snow helps a lot. My country is always advertised as a winter wonderland for tourists, and further inland, and especially up north, the winters certainly are snowy and photogenic. But for us at the southwestern coast, we get the mildest climate in the whole country, where rain and sleet are common when others get snow. It's a shame our winters are so gray and dull. But it's home nonetheless.
