over the weekend, my inspiration has only grown for color pops in my own home, and for items I'm hand - stitching and creating for the May event........
here's some pictures that I thought I'd share about (kind of) what I'm thinking about........
this one, is one of my favorites....look at that couch fabric......and oil painting - totally different styles - but with the white walls and the elegant chandie it is perfect

oh man - this one is bold - but as you may know, I collect oil paintings, take off the frames, and put them up that way.....this room/corner, looks like THE best spot to get more inspiration.......

this one actually surprised me with the pink check (see?? all that pink - I am just all over that lately)
the hand painted flowers and color combinations are all scaled up just right.......besides, my oldest daughter loves this picture......

last, but certainly not least, is this picnic scene I fell across while perusing the net - I am not sure exactly if it's for a couture shoot, or for a fabric company (there was no photo credit available) but I'm so pleased to share with you that for the Friday night of the May event here, it very much will have this 'vibe' about it...........
color........relax........a bit of whimsy......and of course: nature.......
here's Anne Marie's definition of Boho:
"a free relaxed style, with a bit of whimsical color within nature"
Who's with me and some color!!??!!!
xo+blessing,
I love these photo's, I just recently took out a cherry cola pink room though as after 4 years it just started glowing down the hall...it is now light gray but I love how fabric can add color and how you can change out pillows runners etc. whenever you tire of them. I love the boho picnic picture, reminds me of an amy butler shoot, I love her inspiration area of her website amybutlerdesign.com
ReplyDeleteYeh for color!! (I live in a crayola box)
That's too funny that you wrote this post about color...I wrote a post yesterday about color...and how I'm refreshing the whole house. Love your inspiration pictures...that last one is yummy.
ReplyDeleteYou are bringing color back, with style. Love all these photos. Can't wait to see how you make your vision come alive at the event...through your gorgeous photos, of course, because I can't be there :(
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm loving the new header and blog color :)

I AM with you! My home is full of color...every single room has a different wall color (Denny and me prepared with lime and natural pigments and savon de marseille!) and we colored the walls ourselves!
ReplyDeleteSo I am with you and...I love the pic with the pink checks...wow!

Love all these images today my friend...AND your new look over here! LOVE it!!! Hugs for a wonderful Tuesday. oxo
ReplyDeleteAnn Marie, Love your new look. One of the reasons I want to paint my walls from green to cream is so I can change out pillow's to different colors as the seasons change, there's nothing wrong with spicing it up a little. My daughter's room is very rich with color she always tells me. Mom you need a little color in you life.

I love color and have never been one to decorate with the all white them, although I do find it quite beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLove the look of these but could not live with that much colour...think maybe cause I am knee deep in it at work!?!? I love the calm of "no colour" when I get home! Hope your feeling well my sweet friend...talk soon!
ReplyDeleteI love the photo with the pink and blue. I prefer pops of color, myself, I just grow tired of things so fast.
ReplyDeleteYour blog looks so good Anne Marie...I like the new look :)
Hey just got your note....how do I do that..would love to..thanks! x0x0
ReplyDeleteI have always been about color. No all white rooms for this girl. Mine are red, yellow, green and butterscotch. With the long Iowa winters, there is no way I can live without my color!
ReplyDeleteLove your inspiration images, especially that last photo! It's finally sunny in Houston and I picked up some bright flowers at the grocery today. Life is good and bright!
ReplyDeleteHugs~
