My sister, the Fashionista, was here this past weekend. We wandered the Farmer's Market, bought fiber art at a garage sale. We ate at the local Co-Op, went home and planted the pink and white Cosmos she bought me there.
We stopped and smelled the flowers everywhere we went. We stayed up late cocooned in blankets on the fire-lit patio. We shared inspiration and encouraged each other to live fully awake and alive. It was grand.
The last night we were together, I pulled out a sketchbook of sample color studies from my school days as we considered the possibility of designing a room inspired by the peony blossoms she had carried home from the Farmer's Market.
The bright pink set off by the yellow center pierced by pale green on a stem adorned with dark green leaves. We imagined pale green walls, a neutral couch in white loaded with pillows of bright pink or a pale yellow couch with pink and white and pale green pillows and dark green carpet... The choices went on and on. Great fun exploring the options.
After she left, I got my weekly
BHG.com email which had some interesting information about using color in decorating. Thought it might be helpful to share it with you, too. Check out the link.
Tips and Tricks for Using Color I'd love to hear what you think.
And by the way, she loved the skirt!
