Fabric + Paint: Choosing A Color Palette

If you're anything like me, you'll find the perfect fabric for your living room pillows, but just can't seem to pin down the best coordinating paint for the room or for a piece of furniture in the room. Well, have no fear... Michelle is here to save the day! ; )

Over on my ad free blog today, I'm sharing a fun new tool from Glidden that lets you plug in a photo of anything that inspires you and the program instantly develops a coordinating color palette as a result. How neat is that? So neat. (C'mon, "Neature Walk" anybody?)

Here's a hint about my project- some fun new fabric I've been eying from Tonic Living....

Head on over here to check it out! Have fun!

I know, having to click over again is kind of a pain in the butt, but I have to play by the rules...

The Color Files: Mint Green

via

When I was a little girl, I'd arrive at my great-grandmother's house and immediately dart to her living room. Lined with built-in bookshelves filled to the brim with beautiful books (like the second edition Emily Post book that now rests in my office!) and gallery walls of family photos, the room was magical. But it's best feature? The room was painted mint green. The walls, the trim, the paneling, the built-ins, all of it. A beautiful, glossy, wonderful mint green.

And since then, this color has stuck with me. Especially in interiors, my passion.

One of my favorite ways to see it paired is with a pop of fresh pink.

(Yes, I'm ridiculously head over heels in love with this kitchen.

Kitchen? Will you marry me?)

It's official: I need some mint green in my life, stat!

Do you love the freshness of mint green as much as I do?

The Color Files - Puerto Rico

Well hello there! Can you believe how crazy Blogger has been over the last couple of days?? Me oh my. Well thank goodness, they've finally got us back together. So here is today's post... a little late, but better than never!

Last month when David and I visited Puerto Rico, I was amazed by all of the beautiful color that surrounded San Juan. I fell in love with the vivid images and realized how well so many of the color schemes would work as interiors. Cue this post.... the Color Files - Puerto Rico style!

Don't you wish that you had a random alleyway somewhere near your house that was this beautiful?! It's incredible how well these colors naturally work together- while the smokey blue and slate grey act as a base, the deep tones of the natural wood and the splashes of lemon and tangerine pop in the most perfect of ways. How incredible would this look as an interior?

Oh, so incredible.

See what I mean?! This beautiful room belongs to my blogging pal, Courtney. He uses the color scheme in his beautiful music room the same way you see in the Puerto Rico picture above- bases of wood and smokey blue with pops of the fun colors. Such a great job, Courtney! He's a talented guy. And you all know how much I love that Ikea rug, since it's in my dining room! Click on over and give Courtney a visit- you won't be disappointed!
