This week we have another colour-inspired Guest Blog - this time we are accompanying AURA textile designer Tracie Ellis on her recent European working holiday! Tracie shows us a little of her colour-inspired trip - we'll tag along as she visits London, Paris and Copenhagen... aahhh nothing like a visual travel diary to get me really pining for a holiday!
Tracie has also very generously offered one lucky Design Files reader a beautiful giveaway prize at the end of the week - a set of ANIKITA bedlinen (pictured below), from AURA's soon-to-be-released Winter 2011 bed collection! Please visit the Guest Blog every day this week, and leave a comment on any of Tracie's posts to be in the running to win! At the end of the week one winner will be selected at random and contacted by email.
HUGE thanks to Tracie and Jaine at AURA for this week's colour-popping Guest Blog! Do pay these lovely ladies a visit over at aurahome.com.au and check out their stunning range!
ps) You can also re-visit my earlier interview with Tracie right here!
