"Nature is always right!"

The incomparable designer (and I'm very proud to say my friend) Dan Cariters made that announcement as we got into the car one day to go to lunch. Dan had just picked up a taupe and white feather that he had found on the side walk. He didn't take full credit for the thought. He was quoting another important designer Van Day Truex.....(if you don't know either of these names and love design....you owe it to yourself to do some research). The thought occured to me again when I saw this collage, in the corner of our swimming pool, that was created by a recent summer storm (the pool was built in the '30s and doesn't have all the fancy skimmers that they do today...in this case a benefit). I find the color combination......perfection. If you are looking for a color scheme for decorating your home...just look around you, Mother Nature has done all of the work!
