color inspiration

while i was driving the kids to school the other day, i was admiring these....


my gloves... they were on at the time:)   i was thinking how pretty the colors are and how nice they would look together in a room.  take a closer look...orange, turquoise, hot pink.



so when i got home i decided to take a look on pinterest to see what i could find. look at this beautiful table setting!



and this ...



isnt this room fresh and inviting? there are all of the colors in my gloves, just interpreted in a different way. my point to all of this is that you can find color inspiration anywhere and everywhere you look.

 house beautiful has a page in each issue called "paint palette" where they show a photo of random objects (food, flowers, rocks etc...) and pull a color story from it. i love this feature. here is an example of it that i scanned in....



these colors are amazing together. i am not usually a purple gal...at all....but this combination works for me. i have been dreaming up a room using these colors. i will try to put it on an idea board and post it at some point.

so next time you are trying to decide on a paint or a fabric color, look around... your answer could be right in front of  you! or on you:)
