Color

I love color. One of my favorite colors to wear is tropical orange. My house, though, had no color in it at all when we first moved in. All the walls were white, with a few walls a darker shade of white. It was kind of annoying and really boring. We were finally able to get started on painting last week. First, I started with a barely there purple in the bathroom. I love it! Do you see the butterflies? I really like those too.


Then, it was time to really add color. Orange is a GREAT color! This room is not nearly done yet but here is a picture of the color in it. I ABSOLUTELY love it. I am having a really hard time deciding what to put on the walls. The wall to the left, which is not visible, has a black and white family picture of us and our three dogs walking across a field. I have no idea what to do with the others.

I decided to stay pretty neutral in the living room and kitchen. This picture does not really show it, but the walls are a green color. It is better visible in the next picture. I really like the color because of the balance it has with the accent color in the kitchen. My appliances, area rugs and hand towels are fire engine red and they look great up against this color. I do not have a picture to show this but it will be coming soon.

Again, color is fantastic. I try to incorporate it into every room, even if it is just by using trinkets.
