"Beige is atmosphere. It's bisque, it's ivory, it's cream, it's stone, it's toast, it's cappuccino. It's, well, it's magic."

Shopping trip!

One of the services I offer to clients, is a whole day shopping. We stroll around to find furniture and accessories that will make their home special and beautiful.
But have you ever wondered how does my car look like after a long day of shopping?
My client AJ took video of it, and let me tell you, it was a challenge to drive back home!
By the way, this project is finished and I can't wait to share pictures with you soon.

Palette du Jour

I haven't been writing much these days because my laptop is getting fixed (for the fifth time in two years, no wonder the white MacBook has been discontinued!).
I managed to use another computer to create my new palette, I named it Breeze. I was inspired but those beautiful flowers and thought the combination of colors was interesting, I wondered how would they look like in a room.

Here is the list of the matching colors from Benjamin Moore:

pink eraser      2005-50
pink pearl        2005-60
hibiscus           2027-50
tidal wave       2061-50
ranchwood      CC-500

Palette du Jour

I found this beautiful picture online ,  love the colour combination, it is so soothing. I was so inspired i created a colour palette out of it, and thought about sharing with you some spaces done in the same tones. 

Since I am mostly used to work with Benjamin Moore's fan deck, I chose to give you their matching colours:

Are you in the mood for knitting?

Even though my grandmother tried to teach me how to knit when i was a child, I never really had the patience for it. 
Well knitting is not for grannies anymore, it became very popular the last couple of years,  and now it's already moving into the realm of interiors and furniture. 
From poufs to rugs, pillows and vases, it is the new trend.

I was looking for poufs to put in my client's family room, and I found those modern chunkily hand-knitted poufs at CB2. They would look great in a kids room or simply as an accent in a living room.

I love this area rug, what a great way to add texture to your space

My first Posting

Hello everyone!  Welcome to Noon! 

I've been thinking about starting a blog for a while now, and here I am finally jumping in!

A little bit about myself:
My name is Nour, and I am the mother of two wonderful children; Iman, 6 and Youssef, 1.  I Have been an interior designer in Vancouver for 3 years now, and I love what I do.  I travel a lot, and always thought about sharing my experience with people who share the same love of design and architecture. 

So, welcome aboard!  I hope you will enjoy this virtual journey as much as I :)
