Now that Easter has come and gone...summer is right around the corner. My husband and I are preparing our home for some new colors, both inside and out. We've agreed on the exterior color, now it's just the inside. My upcoming Blogs will be about colors, inspiration, and making some big changes to our decor with color only. After a visit from family and reviewing all the photographs that I took of them - ummm, over 300, I decided I am so over the color inside our great-room, kitchen and dinning room, I'm ready for more tropical colors and/or desert southwest...and there is where my dilemma comes in...so much to chose from and I love both those beautiful bright tropical colors of Hawaii and the warmth of the color of the desert, so I need to find a way to incorporate both and not over do it. I have a medium green, some would call it olive green in the great-room, and terra-cotta in the kitchen and a very pale color in the dinning room, which I cannot describe, because it changing throughout the day, depending on the sun coming in through the windows. I'm ready for something bright in the great-room such as we had in our condo in Hawaii, which was not yellow, or mango, but in between...I'm kind of leaning towards that color. I need to be brave and just go for it. I don't like the ordinary, and don't like to follow "what's in style right now" all the time, I enjoy seeing what is in style, but put my own flair to it...it has to make me feel good, happy and a place I love to be. So, for now, I'm off in search of more color combinations. I hope to get some honest feed back from anyone who sees my ideas...I guess a few visits to the beach the last several weekends has totally inspired me to get ready for summer, not only for myself but my home.
Below are just a few pictures I took at one of our local beaches here on Saturday, Pass-A-Grille...such a beautiful evening...not too hot, and very low humidity. Hope you enjoy them.
