An inspiring space

I have been going back a forth about what colors to paint and decorate with in my craft room. I could not decide. Did I want dark and rich? Bright and cheery? or Bold? Well, I think I have decided finally! Its only been 2 years for me to make up my mind. I think the scheme will be (tentatively, I always change my mind) green walls (almost a Kelly Green or lighter...did I mention I looove the color green) with black, Yellow, and a hint of orange accents! What you you think? Its kind of bright and with some bold use of the accents colors could look amazing! Have you used such a bright all over color for a large room? What are your favorite yellow, black, and orange decorative pieces? Here are a few things that have inspired these colors.


I love the art work by Anthony Morrow (the bee above). He's art work focused on the adorable bugs in the world are soft and colorful. They would be a wonderful addition to a baby room too...down the road, maybe...

A Place of Refuge

I don't know what I was thinking! We moved into the house and I excitedly picked out paint colors and room themes. I knew exactly what I wanted and was anxious for the master bedroom paint to go up, but I was severely miss led. Sage green is a beautiful color and it was the perfect color for my wedding, but a bedroom? I think a room so energize you and make you smile when you enter it. Sage was just took bland for what I was really looking for (and I need some thing more fun to go with the paint job I just finished in the master bathroom. See below).

I had no idea what I really wanted. And then, I had the pleasure of staying in a fabulous room at the Indigo Hotel in Chicago. I was breath taking with dark tropical blues and lime green accents with white neutrals. It was perfect.

I'm not a fan of the mural, but you can get the idea. The room even had a cute lime green coffee maker!

The room is pretty large and I am hoping that the darker blues will make it feel smaller and more intimate. I'll be picking out paint colors soon. Wish me luck!
