SEEING RED

All my life I've pursued the perfect red." -Diana Vreeland

There's something very glamorous about walking into a red room. The warm, vibrant tones immediately make me feel happy and energized. And whether it's a room of cayenne lacquered walls or a peppy ruby red accent pillow, the pop of color adds personality and style to any decor. My favorite design image is the iconic photo of Diana Vreeland snapped by Horst in her lipstick red living room. "I want this place to look like a garden, but a garden in hell," she said. The room, filled with layers of chintz and needlepoint pillows in tulip red is not for the faint of heart!  There are so many gorgeous shades of red to choose from there's sure to be a shade to fit your style. How do you feel about red?
