amour de safran des indes

January 10, 2010

About a year ago when we were on our honeymoon in Paris I kept seeing this beautiful yellow everywhere — especially paired with grey. I fell in love with it. When we got home I craved it and looked everywhere for a duvet cover for our bedroom thinking it would look great with our deep grey walls. I couldn’t find it anywhere. Fast forward a year later, I receive the latest West Elm catalogue in the mail — and here it is — this lovely yellow known as “turmeric” or as they say in France “safran des indes.”

It’s exactly what I need right now during this gloomy, snowy Chicago winter. I need to restrain myself because I want to buy everything.
