Colorful Friday

Taking a page out of the Paper Source colorscope we visit the color PERSIMMON.

"Your passion and mature energy

draw people to you!

However, your curiosity

and love of life can cause

you to be restless even

though you are

essentially grounded"

Colors: House Beautiful

                   House Beautiful's Michele Bernhardt's article on Balancing your home with color.
                                   "It will remind you to live life fully and love your body."

I don't know about the 'love your body part' but it certainly adds some sexiness and richness to your space. The plus side to that is that you don't have to go all in, just a bit delivers the look.

Colors: House Beautiful

Loved this little tidbit by Michele Bernhardt for House Beautiful:

AQUA INSPIRES TRUST.

This is the color to use when you need to relax. 

Wear or surround yourself with it if you have difficulty sleeping,
dreaming, or meditating.

Time for a little beauty

No time to show any stagings so here is a bit of Spring beauty.

Pink

Early Bird

...gets the worm.

When Seattle is rewarded with sunrises like these, I don't complain about 5:30 am mornings. This is worth it!

Inspiration at the Fair...I know it seems crazy

It's Fair season and tons of inspiration to be found. I love the crazy colors coupled and mixed together. There is inspiration to be found in the 4-H exhibits, the beautiful fur coats of the animals, quilts entered into contests, floral arrangements created by 8 year olds, table settings by 10 year olds, art by middle and high schoolers, fruit and vegetable displays by nearby Granges. (What is a Grange?)  Once you get past the dirt, the grime, the public restrooms, outdoor sinks, the sticky and fattening  food and go deeper into the coolness of it all it can be heaven at the fair.  

Peacock Beauty

We were at our Woodland Park Zoo store and right outside the door we got to spend a moment admiring this little creature. They are very much an inspiration for our decorating.

Not as beautiful as the real thing but still a statement-maker. This urn of feathers was recently at Z Gallerie.

Colours of Fall

Get ready to bathe in the beautiful fall colours-visual feast.
