Thoughts On A Rainy Sunday In June

I LOVE Sundays!

Here it is the middle of June and it is only 58 degrees out with a light drizzle.  It’s a cup of hot tea and sweat shirt kind of afternoon.  The pace of life is slowed a little on Sundays.  Our house takes on a different atmosphere than other days of the week.  Everyone is quietly doing their own thing.  The smell of chicken roasting in the oven is wafting through the house.

Shortly we’ll sit down to a family meal where the conversation will reflect on the past week and review the schedule for the coming week.  Tomorrow, all four of us will begin a productive week of work.

The Sunday calm will be a distant memory tomorrow evening as we gather to cheer on the Bruins.  For this moment now, I am going to savor the quiet family time because in true black and gold spirit…..

Black and Gold Interiors

Today I am especially loving these black and gold interiors

Do you have Black and Gold fever?  If you live in Boston, Massachusetts or even New England it is hard to avoid this color scheme today.  The most enthusiastic sports fans in the country live here and the anticipation of tonight’s Stanley Cup Playoff game is evident everywhere you go.

Decorating with black and gold is classic.  Using this color scheme even as an accent in any room gives it a sophisticated look.  Traditional, modern, French country and eclectic styles can make use of this powerful color scheme.

Black and Gold Living Room

This living room has the gold accents well distributed throughout the room in the panel drapes, sofa pillows and the black and gold roll pillows on the chairs.  The dark gray walls soften the impact of the black and gold.  I’m not sure who’s room this is but I can imagine Tim Thomas relaxing on the sofa, can you?

Black Framed Photos Over Black and Gold Sofa

Black and gold doesn’t need to dominate (except on the ice) the entire room.  This white wall is a high contrast to all of the black and white photos framed in heavy black frames.  The white, black and gold sofa provides just enough of a pop of color to give this room a lively punch.  Look closely at the photos.  Do you see Tyler Seguin as a little pee wee on the ice?

Black and Gold Kitchen

This retro kitchen is energized by the golden painted cabinets with the black handles.  I love the golden gingham café curtains on the black wrought iron rod.  Can you imagine Milan Lucic getting himself a glass of water here?

The black and gold will be shining bright at Rogers Arena in Vancouver tonight.
