| Shelley Johnstone - Flower Magazine |
Interior designer Shelley Johnstone, a favorite interior designer of mine, lives in Lake Forest, Illinois where I grew up. Her home, beautifully decorated for the holidays, is featured in Flower Magazine. Interestingly, her favorite color is chocolate brown which is probably my least favorite color, but she uses it deftly throughout her home. She does not like red for her own home for Christmas decorating, so she uses instead lots of green, white, chocolate brown, silver, gold, and touches of pink. The home is filled with chinoiserie including blue and white Chinese porcelain, rattan, wicker, Chinese Chippendale chairs, Greek key, framed chinoiserie panels, and bamboo flatware. She uses fresh greenery in her Christmas decorating and lots of fresh flowers like white paperwhites, amaryllis, and poinsettias, and pink and white tulips, peonies, ranunculus, and anemones.
