Farrow & Ball: The Art of Color

November 1, 2011 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 7 Comments

This post contains Affiliate links. 

A couple of weeks ago I won a give away by Tina of The Enchanted Home, for a signed copy of Farrow & Ball: The Art of Color by Letta Austin Foster, designer extraordinaire. 

To say the book is a feast for the eyes is an understatement. There is something magical on each page and of course they all feature Fallow and Ball products, both paint and wallpaper.  I spent about an hour looking through it last night when it arrived and I could not even take in all of the wonderful details of every room. Each time I go back to it I find another beautiful detail that I missed the first time.

There are cottages, castles, lofts, and any other imaginable abode in this book and through each page we are transported around the globe and into the world of these fabulous homes and the designers who put them together. There is something for every taste.



If you like Farrow and Ball and beautiful design, check this book out the next time you are in the book store, it is a feast for the eyes and the soul!

Thank you Tina for hosting such a beautiful giveaway!

 On that note, let me also mention that Sharon of Modern Country Style is hosting a Farrow and Ball give away! Go to Modern Country Style and follow the directions to win 3 sample pots of Farrow and Ball and then one lucky winner will also receive 5 litres of the paint of their choice! What a great opportunity to try out a wonderful product.

    Elizabeth, this book speaks to me too!!
    Love the style…
    Enjoy! What a marvelous and generous gift from Tina.
    Dianne noticed the etchings, but the pears on the mantle (your dining room) are what jumped out at me! Similar, non?

    I just had my cup of pumpkin hot chocolate, I do believe I am addicted 😉
    I use a little shortcut and add pumpkin pie spice..decadent!

    Wishing you a lovely Wednesday,
    xoxo

    Elizabeth,
    Try this – Use picnik – you can try 1000x288pixels but this is is a horizontal orientation. I saw from your blog that you're using a vertical one. But you can proportionately adjust the size, lets say 1000×576 pixels.

    I used these numbers and it worked perfectly. Email me – nmsullivan0909[at]gmail.com if you need to.

    Joy and lovely blog!
    Noreen

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
