Love the Decor: More on the subject of color...

I was just thinking about this this morning when I unpacked from vacation. I wear my favorite colors but I've fallen into too much matchy-matchy rooms! Look out hubby, I'm changing things around again.

More on the subject of color...

Have you ever thought about getting your room color inspiration from your closet? Think about it. You already have the perfect pairing of color and combinations. If you wear it, chances are you may love how it looks in your room. Look at the prints and fabrics you are drawn to while clothes shopping and try visualizing some of those same colors for your paint, fabrics, pillows and rug choices.

In terms of colour trends, colour is definitely moving to fresh and clean! We have been painting our homes in earth tones and spicy shades for more than 10 years and I think consumers are ready for a change. In my experience, the pendulum always swings in the opposite direction. If I’m in a client’s bedroom who has been looking at striped drapery for 10 years, she doesn’t want to see any stripes when selecting something new.

The DIY Show Off: Progress in my Livingroom! A Sneak Peek!

A great idea from The DIY Show Off.

Today, I picked up 9 matted frames at Michaels (30% off of 9.99 ea.) and printed the botanical prints from vintageprintables.com (great site!). Even WalMart's framed botanical print set of 4 was $278! I paid less than $70 for 9! SAVING OVER $200 and I like mine better! I printed them on cardstock that I already had at home and used a glue stick to keep them in place in the mat (gluing around the edges and securing the print to the "fake picture" that comes with the frame.)

Colour me Happy: Warning: You Are the Colours in your Home

by Maria Killam

A few years ago I met a woman at a conference who immediately took in what I was wearing and proceeded to tell me exactly how I was feeling that morning when I chose the outfit. I was wearing a pink shirt with gray pants and a charcoal cardigan [and she was right].

If you are a fan of 1930’s style then you’ll love these new images from BHS. The soft gold, cream and silver colour palette is romantic without being too over-the-top and the mirrored furniture and sparkling chandeliers keep the scheme feeling light and fresh.
