Afraid of Color

Hi Everyone

Happy Saturday

Have you noticed the decorating trend
muted, burlap, industrial
no color

  {have you seen the restoration hardware catalog}

We seem to be afraid of decorating with color

Don't get me wrong

I love an all white palette

but that is just the canvas for the room
the starting point

 the fun begins by adding the accent colors that make the room come alive

When decorating with certain colors small accent  pieces can perk up an entire room

The well placed pink and green items look alive in the picture above

{Love}

the pink blanket on the white linen slip covered chair

the pink and green pillow, the flowers even the decorative boxes on the book shelf

all the colors are cohesive

The great thing about this is you can easily change the mood of this room by simply changing the color of these few items

Here is another example of a pink and green color palette and

well placed treasures
the green stool, the vintage pink and green table cloth

even the green enamelware pieces all work together well

This is a beautiful way to add pink to any room

the simple pink shell looks amazing

with the the turquoise in this kitchen

In this living room the slightest hint of pink

in the vintage blue and pink floral pillows gives this room a beautiful muted color palette and matches the stunning  color inside the china cabinet

The bolder pink and red statement

  found here almost feels masculine in this room 

but very romantic

I say bring on the color

Don't be afraid

  Let's experiment with color and have fun

Look at the colors that you wear everyday

that will give you a great place to start when decorating your home

I remember a wonderful quote by
Jackie Kennedy
" Our lives are like a painting and I want every color in it"

linking with  Pink Saturday

 romantic saying for today
"Give the highest priority to tenderness, gentleness and kindness"
