The Great Color Palette Debate!

Okay, that is a bit of a stretch! I'm not sure there is REALLY a debate going on, but more of a question or a curiosity. I love CoLoR!!! I love it in my clothing and my home. It makes me happy. I also love the many beautiful white kitchens and spaces that are in blogland. They are so lovely and I pin them all the time. But I know myself too well! I could not live with the whiteness. Soon I would be throwing in a little bit of aqua...and then some red...and then maybe a touch of tan. It is who I am. And so I will still pin and lovingly admire the beauty that is an all white kitchen, and then return to my very colorful world. Where do you stand in the color palette question? In future posts, I will be discussing color and what it can mean for all of us.

From Back order to....

The office is STILL in the messy, yucky stage!! The cute, perfect, wonderful storage that I ordered was back ordered. Then I received an email that "the cute, perfect, wonderful storage pieces you ordered have been DISCONTINUED". Ok, they didn't say cute, perfect, wonderful but they might as well have. I was/am sad... So once again I am on the look out for the above mentioned storage pieces. Until they are found the office is, well, blah!! When they weather decides to stay nice for more than 1 day, I have a table to paint which will help with organization greatly!! Until then, lets look at some of the beauties I spotted on a recent visit to Home Goods. The pillows on my couch are from Home Goods too. Do you love Home Goods? What is your favorite place to shop for décor?

Target..how I love thee. Let me count the {new} ways...

Have I ever mentioned my LOVE for Target? They now have PAINT and WALLPAPER!!! Thank you Target!! You are forever in my HeArT!! Okay, that might seem extreme...but really??? Paint and wallpaper??? Oh my!! What do you think about Target entering the world of paint and wallpaper?

Pssst...you should buy me!

On a recent trip to Home Goods I saw this lovely chair. It was calling my name! It would look so great in my family room! However, I had just purchased a rug, some pillows (why are they so expensive!?!?!) and wall décor. I just didn't think that I should make another (somewhat) large purchase. I'll wait, I thought. I'll comeback next week and it will be MINE! NEVER say that about a treasure at Home Goods. You already know the end of the story, don't you? Yes, it was gone! Now I am looking for another chair. Wish me luck! And the next time you hear "pssst...you should buy me", you may want to listen!

Spring...where art thou??

If you are at ALL like me, you are ready for SPRING! If you live in an area of the country that is STILL enjoying winter, you are ready for SPRING! In fairness, the area I live in usually does not see spring for a few more weeks, however this winter has been cold and snowy and cold...and snowy! It just feels like a very looooong winter. On a trip to Target today, I FOUND SPRING!!! Thanks to the Threshold collection, and it is BEAUTIFUL!! It is so cheerful, happy and lovely to look at. Does this make you happy? I left Target and headed to my car through a wall of snowflakes. Oh how I wished I had "purchased" a little bit of spring...

Just for Fun!

Laundry is not a favorite job of many people I know. It is necessary, but not enjoyable. Not something that many look forward to with glee. One way to make it more pleasant is the environment in which you do this "delightful" task. Here is one example: What do you do to make this chore more enjoyable?

Pantone Color of the Year!

Pantone chooses a "Color of the Year". Last years color was Emerald, this year is Radiant Orchid. SO...the question is... do we care? Does their choice of the color of year dictate your décor? Yea, me either. It is not a color I would paint a room or upholster a piece of furniture. I don't believe many people would. However,we do see it in décor and fashion. Perhaps a print pillow, or artwork with a touch of radiant orchid would be lovely. Do you like this color better when mixed with navy or mushroom? For me this is a "use in VERY small quantities" if at ALL, color. Thoughts?
