Color Palette No. 10: Back to School Edition

24 Sep

Hi friends!  Today is my first day of school!  Crazy!   I decided to do a back-to-school color palette for you today in honor of my first day.  I just love this outfit and I think it is perfect for school.  And fall!  I like the contrast between the deep red and muted yellow/cream colors.  I also think the light pink lipstick is a perfect touch!

Color Palette No. 9

Hi friends!  I am getting a late start today.  I have been out of town for a week and then Jonathan and I drove back into town late last night.  But the good news is Jonathan is back from Portland!  I am so happy to go back to a semi-normal life.  Anyways, here is the color palette for today.  It feels like fall out so I choose this color palette in celebration of fall.  Fall makes me want to curl up in a cozy place and drink a cup of hot chocolate.  Happy Monday everyone!

I have another fun color palette for you today!  I came across this picture the other day and just loved it!  There is something about this whimsical/colorful/
vintage/minimal look that I just can’t get enough of.  It has also given me an idea for my office.  I am thinking about painting my desk like this – maybe paint all the drawers teal or something.  What are your thoughts.  I would love feedback for this project because I just can’t decide.  If I do it, I will be sure to post the process for you to read.

Color Palette No. 7

27 Aug

Hi friends! How was your weekend? I have been basking in the Texas sun over here in Austin. And it has been wonderful! Today I have a fun color palette for you. I decided to choose a color palette that is a little different from my usual style. I liked that there is a major color definition in the green wall but that they used a lot of white accents in the table decor. I hope you all have a wonderful Monday!

Well, hello friends!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend!  My weekend was bitter sweet since Jonathan left for Portland yesterday afternoon…sigh.  But we had a great time in Corvallis before he left and I know the rotation will be over before we know it.

Today I have another color palette for you and what a shocker, there is more bright pink.  I don’t know what it is with me and pink lately but I love it.  This color palette is a little different because I decided to highlight an outfit instead of a cool space.  I picked this outfit because I love the red cropped pants and a bright colored shirt to go with it.  And don’t you just love her red lipstick and nails! Doesn’t it seem like in fashion lately, anything goes?!  It is so fun to see what people are coming up with.  I hope you have a wonderful Monday.

Happy Monday!  How was your weekend!?  Jonathan and I have been traveling a ton lately so we decided to stay in Corvallis this weekend and I think it was a good decision.  We were able to relax and get caught up on stuff around the house.  We also took a quick day trip out to the Oregon Coast on Saturday.  It was a beautiful day for the beach and we even got a little sunburn!

Today I have a fun color palette to share with you.  This color palette is full of fun pinks and I think you will enjoy it!

For my color palette today, I chose a picture of a beach in France found here. French anything seems to be a theme in my life right now. I think my subconscious is telling me I need to take a trip there soon! Anyway, I like this picture because it has so many beautiful blue colors with just a pop of red. Imagining myself sitting on the beach under a bright red umbrella makes my heart sing! What is your happy place?

Hi friends!  I hope you had a fabulous weekend!  Jonathan and I were in Kennewick, Washington for the weekend visiting family and we had a wonderful time there. 
 
Today I wanted to introduce a new column that I would like to start incorporating into my blog.  It is titled, “Color Palette.”  One of my favorite parts of design are colors and how different colors interact with one another.  Here is a fun summery color palette.  I just love all these colors together and how both bright and dark colors can go so well together.
