It’s such a cold, rainy, winter day here in Sydney, no sun to be seen. It’s a rug up and keep warm kind of day. Seeing warm colours make us feel warm, safe and secure. Do you love sitting next to a fireplace and watching the flames? It’s not only the warmth that holds you…
Pink & Purple colour scheme
