Color Series: Yellow

 

 

Yellow, the color of the sun. The wonderful sun we are finally starting to see in the Pacific Northwest, you see it has been hiding all winter! What better way to celebrate Spring and the sun by sharing some very cool yellow spaces.

Color Series: Pink

 

In the spirit of Valentines day we must celebrate pink and red! I already posted some fun spaces done with red. In case you missed it, check it out here. I have always loved pink but in order to successfully use it in spaces, you must use it sparingly or be okay with a super girly room. In other words I don’t know if your husband will be thrilled with a super pink living room.

 

Caitlin Wilson- love her!

Color Series: Green

 

I wanted to continue the color series fun with green since it’s Christmas time! Stayed tuned for red later this month! Green can be a tricky color to do in a space as it is such a strong color so it has to be done right! Right now I’m loving emerald green, mint green and bright greens.

who knew emerald green drapes could make a room look so good?

Color Series: Orange


This color series I am featuring orange as it is halloween (AKA orange) month! Some of you may be over the pantone color of the year 2012 tangerine tango or orange as the plain folk call it. But I am not! I absolutely love the bright color and think it can be used as a main or accent color in many spaces. Check out these spaces that use orange and let me know if you love it or hate it. In case you missed the first of the color series check out Gold Love here.

Gold Love Part Two- DIY



Remember my Gold Love post awhile back? Love the look but hate the price? Here are some easy and inexpensive ways to get the look without spending a ton!
Grab some spray paint! Spray some branches and then display them in a vase (I’m dying to do this), spray an old box, a bar cart, or some random objects.

Or you could get some gold washi tape and use it to decorate vases, trays and boxes. Remember when I posted this tutorial showing how to make a mason jar pen/pencil holder?

Pick up some clear glass vases at the dollar store or thrift store and paint them. I recently bought some vases and tried painting them with gold using a few techniques for a friends bridal shower. I loved how the polka dot vases turned out and they were super easy I just used the end of paint brushes and some acrylic paint! I wanted to try doing the dipped look but didn’t have enough paint or a good container to dip it in. I wouldn’t put them in the dishwasher though as the paint may come off (or buy glass paint).

PS- sorry I don’t have any pretty pictures with flowers in them! My nice camera was left in Bend unfortunately.
OR Tape off your vase/bowl at an angle and spray paint

Also you can use glitter to add gold any old accessories you have or something you picked up at a garage sale or thrift store.

Have you done any gold DIY projects? Any you are wanting to do?

Gold Love


Let me first start this post by openly admitting, that I started this post over a year ago. How did I never finish it? I don’t know. I often get all these ideas, start them and get distracted and forget to finish them. But, I will admit that my idea for a Gold Love post, inspired me to start a series of blogs on colors! I am going to be posting photos to admire of great spaces using a particular color. Be sure to keep checking back for those posts.
Is it just me or have you guys been loving gold too? I have been loving it for quite awhile and have built quite a collection of photos on Pinterest. What would I do without Pinterest? Check out my pins and follow to keep up on the latest things I’m loving!

GOLD LIPS
Made by Girl- can’t believe this print is only $29!



If you are able to afford it, head to your local TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Ross, Home Goods or Target. You would be surprised at how much gold you can find for a reasonable price! Check out these great gold bowls from Nate Berkus for Target. They are $7.99 and $14.99! I can deal with that.
