A Very Nice Contrast

Anna, of Black and Spiro in Brisbane, AU, and the seriously amazing blog, Absolutely Beautiful Things, is one of my favorites because she is so talented at putting things you would never think of together and making them look like they were meant for each other.

That talent includes unusual color combinations, loud patterns on conservative furniture, bright paint where most people would use neutral etc. but one of my favorite unexpected combinations is old and new.

Take this picture for instance, where Anna paired a Louis XV chair with neutral upholstery (very proper!) with fresh, bright, young, loud curtains.

Taking old classics and bringing them into vogue...I love it!
