Well, I'm back. It has been quite the trip. After spending Sunday through Wednesday at High Point, I then headed to Northern VA for a couple days to see some clients and tour the DC Green Designer Showhouse. A week is a bit long to be apart from my family. It was such a great trip though.
First off, I'm doing my first Give Away and I think it is a pretty good one. I attended Margaret Russell's book signing in High Point and grabbed an extra copy for one of my lucky readers to receive.
This is take 2. We both had our eyes closed on the first one…shocker! Thank goodness she was patient and gracious enough to do a second take. I think I need to get some lessons on how to pose for photos. Do they do that somewhere? I really really suck.
So what do you have to do to win?
There was one very consistent two color combination repeated in several showrooms. In fact, I've never seen that much repetition in the last 7 Markets. I'll publish all the pretty pics illustrating the combo at the conclusion of the give away. The first person (designers traveling with me are excluded) to identify this two-color combo correctly by leaving the answer in my comment section will receive the book.
Here is your clue. I recently blogged about using these two colors together.
Because the cover is Blue, I'm linking to Blue Mondays over at Smiling Sals.

Besides orange and blue (just cause I have turned into a Florida girl). 🙂 I would guess gray and tangerine. Love your advice!
Maybe gray & orange? I think that the photo is good of you.
Hi- I stumbled onto your blog a few months back and I enjoy reading it so much! Your design work is lovely.
My guess for the 2 color combos is gray & coral/tangerine.
Surely gray has to be one of them- I’ve been reading about it everywhere:)
thanks! Julie Allinson
Blue and white! Did I win? Thanks for sharing, and Happy Blue Monday!
Smoke Blue & Ivory?
Or Gray & Tangerine?
Both combos are fab 🙂
I keep seeing a lot of yellow and brown decor… so that is my guess.
How cool that you got to meet Margaret Russell and get your photo taken with her! Loved her on “Top Design.” And I’d love to read her book! This is a fun giveaway.
I have no idea what the color combos were. Are purple and gray still popular or are we moving on to something else?
Lovely photo!
Here’s my first Blue Monday entry.
I’m going to say gray and lime green.
I know gray is a big nuteral this year.
I’m gonna say silver/gray and (smoke) blue?
Happy Blue Monday to you. I’m so glad you joined us. I’ve enjoyed perusing your blog.
I glanced through your posts for the color combo you mentioned, but I couldn’t find an actual post on color… aside from the one that mentions the fact that neutrals will be big this year. I did see that you recommended that someone use tangerine with gray instead of using coral. So I am going to guess that is the color combo to which you referred.
I got as far back as your post on the fabric and furniture line you’ve created (how neat!), and I found this color combo which I think is gorgeous… “Silverado with Agion.” BTW, I love your barstools. I like the fact that they are designed in the Klismos style.
Thanks for allowing me to enter your giveaway. This is a fun blog!
XO,

Are the two colors red and turquoise?
My guess would be blue and gold. Very pretty!
Gray and Tangerine were your suggestions for coco + kelley.
Two things: I have to laugh because before digital cameras, I had my eyes closed in most of my pictures.
Second: while I miss seeing all the great stuff at High Point, I don’t miss the walking! I am sure your feet are tired!
I have to go with blue and white/cream. Even if I’m right I won’t be the only one….but would love the book!
Blue & White 😉
It has to be tangerine & gray, but your first commenter snagged that! Great giveaway. Just in case, I’ll throw out another guess:
Yellow & Gray
I was thinking gray and tangerine too. Bummer that I’m not even close to first. 🙂
I know ~ I know!!!! 🙂
