The Search for Navy

For our 7th week working for Chango & Co., our focus had to be on the Cortez house. The last time we visited their home, which is located right on the Hudson River, we came with a beautiful sea-foam  color palette, which she did not like. She asked us to find another group of fabrics that were navy, grey, and yellow instead. When Grace and I started looking in the fabric library for navies and yellows, we realized we did not have that many fabrics to choose from. When we presented the scheme we came up with to Susana, she agreed, saying that most of the fabrics we had chosen had already been used many times and she wanted to do something new and exciting. That was when we decided to take a trip to the Design and Decoration Building to chose fabrics specific to the Cortez project. We spent the entire day on Monday there picking out samples of fabric and wallpaper. 

On Tuesday, we started to look through everything that we had gotten the day before and we began putting colors together. When we were finished sorting all of the fabrics, we had three different schemes. One was dark navies and mustard yellows, one was a little lighter shade of indigo and golds, and one was light blues with lighter yellows.

After we were done sorting fabrics, we kept looking for replacement furniture pieces and accessories and printed them out in high quality for Susana to look at and choose to show to the client.
