Picture
Not long now until we return to our beloved Scotland, our favourite place to 'escape from it all'. This oil painting by Kay Robson, of Loch Tummel near Pitlochry provides a nostalgic reminder, and when the curtains are drawn on our sea view of an evening, we can yet indulge in a lochside view, a fitting scene for the welcoming greens and warm tweeds of our lounge. This photo also demonstrates that, even in a streamlined mid-century modern home, a touch of 'old' for contrast works well, and may even emphasize the main mid-century modern theme. Sometimes it's about knowing the rules to break the rules.
​The backdrop is 'Portland Stone', by the LIttle Greene Paint Company  www.littlegreene.com, a slight departure from our 'mainly-white-walls-with-occasional-feature-wall' here at Blackbirds, but it was important for our lounge to have a cosy feel to it, and the soft green stone colour is a good compromise in its near-neutrality.
