​RED is one of the first colors we learn as children.

It is everywhere!

 ❤️‍🔥  Let's describe the color RED as if it was a person! She is the color of action. She can’t sit still and watch as people work, she feels the need to be involved. She needs to contribute, to do something to help.  She is passionate!
RED is powerful. Energetic. Confident. She’s daring and bold, walking with her head held high.  RED is vibrant and attention seeking, clamoring for you to sit up and take notice!  ❤️‍🔥

Red is everything but neutral.

The RED personality has these tendencies:
  • Gets immediate results
  • Takes charge
  • Solves problems
  • Looks self reliant
  • Accepts challenges

We should all have this amazing color in our home!

"How wonderful yellow is. It stands for the sun." -Vincent Van Gogh
The sun falls across everything! Yellow rays warm us, grow our lawns and flowers, and brighten our days especially after many rainy ones. 

​Yellow is like the friendliest person you know! It mixes easily with many others. What a relief it is to have such a happy and flexible color in your home! ​ Even children "see" the colors that easily work with yellow.  Let's explore some of my favorite combinations...

DESIGN TIPS USING YELLOW!

  • Yellow is an appropriate color for a room used for studying because it has a stimulating effect on the mind.
  • Its intensity is also good for stairs and corridors that don't receive natural light!
  • Approach yellow as a neutral. Select a yellow wall color with brown undertones, and pair it with a sisal rug.

Shabby chic celebrates well-aged interiors  but it’s also all about beginning new stories. Mixing pieces you already have and love with new furniture and accessories in pastel palettes - pinks, pale blues, creams and beiges - will give you the "old is new"  look of shabby chic!
Dream-like colors give you the romantic, feminine feel of shabby chic. Its a hydrangea palette!

Shabby chic doesn’t have an official flower, but if it did, it would have to be the hydrangea. Its modest, yet gorgeous clusters are a mainstay in vases.





The shabby chic style is very creative, individual and romantic. La-Z-Boy  takes the basic elements of a shabby chic chair and combines it with a touch of glamour to create a modern, comfortable style.

We all know that it’s a bit tricky to decorate a room with orange  👀 
because it's such a bold color!  It is the color of joy and creativity, and reminds us of wonderful things like sunsets and pumpkins!  How do we temper such a strong color in a room?
This may come as a surprise, but orange is a beautiful color to pair with GRAY, a calm color of efficiency and practicality.  Gray is quiet and strong, and balances the warm tones of orange creating a perfect color duo.
These colors would be stunning in your home!

Pumpkin Facts!

Picture

  • Pumpkins are a member of the gourd family, which includes cucumbers, honeydew melons, cantaloupe, watermelons and zucchini. These plants are native to Central America and Mexico, but now grow on six continents.
  • The largest pumpkin pie ever baked was in 2005 and weighed 2,020 pounds.
  • Pumpkins have been grown in North America for five thousand years. They are indigenous to the western hemisphere.
  • Pumpkins are low in calories, fat, and sodium and high in fiber. They are good sources of Vitamin A, Vitamin B, potassium, protein, and iron.
  • The heaviest pumpkin weighed 1,810 lb 8 oz and was presented by Chris Stevens at the Stillwater Harvest Fest in Stillwater, Minnesota, in October 2010.
  • Pumpkin seeds should be planted between the last week of May and the middle of June. They take between 90 and 120 days to grow and are picked in October when they are bright orange in color. Their seeds can be saved to grow new pumpkins the next year.

Color can do anything that

Right in the middle of red and yellow on the color wheel, ORANGE flirts with the daring side of red and evokes the sunny side of yellow. Orange can change from contemporary and eccentric to happy and jubilant, to quiet and reflective - with just a few tweaks on the color wheel.  It is a GREAT color to add to your room. 

Let's talk about how to do it!

Picture
Picture

 Warm colors like ORANGE give off an energy and intensity unmatched by their cooler cousins. Use these hues in spaces where you anticipate and want activity, like an active living or family room. 
Picture
Knowing how a particular shade of orange can impact a room is the key to using this color. When done right, orange can give you a much needed dose of enthusiasm and motivation.

COLORFUL FACTS ABOUT ORANGE

History and Lore
The word orange developed from the Sanskrit word naranga. In the early Christian church, orange was a symbol of glory and fruits of the earth. It was also called the wisdom ray. In education, engineering is represented by orange.


Daily Uses
Orange is used to designate warning and to point out dangerous equipment such as electrical wires and hot pipes. In marketing, orange is used for packaging because it has a "freshness" appeal (e.g., bread wrappers). Oftentimes it is found in cafeterias, because it has been proven to inspire higher sales. If used sparingly in entertainment rooms, it tends to promote congeniality. In a study room, it gives energy and creative motivation


Orange is found in apricots, mangoes, oranges, peaches, carrots, pumpkins, yams, and saffron.

IMAGINE having a room with hues that create and hold all of these feelings...
  • The stability of blue
  • The energy of red
  • Wisdom, dignity, mystery, magic
  • Safety 
  • Harmony
  • Color of nature​

​Can we fit all of this into one room? ​

YES.
Invite PURPLE in
​to join LIME GREEN.

Pairing these two colors creates an exciting balance in a room.  I’ve often wondered why that works so well, but then… they ARE complimentary colors on the color wheel. Plus, when I think of  #reallygoodthings, I see a lot of green and purple.  Key Lime Pie (Green), Blackberry Cobbler (purple), Margaritas (Green), Blackberry Mojitas (Purple), Hydrangeas (Purple & Green), Mardi Gras (Purple and Green)…. Lime Sherbert, Raspberry Tea... the list is rich and long!  This color combination is all around us!

THE HISTORY OF "LIMELIGHT"
In the early 1800's, theater stages were lit by heating a cylinder of the mineral called lime — the result was an intensely bright white light. The word limelight came to have its figurative meaning of "at the center of attention" in 1877.
