Blue Green Inspirational Color Tones

Blue Green inspiration is borrowed from the natural tones of succulents. Shades of navy, gray & emerald greens would make for a beautiful model home interior that is appealing to both men & women. Bold stripes and various levels of sheen give this look an elegant feel.

 Ralph Lauren makes the best paint tones when it comes to blue. I adore this shade paired with the emerald pillow cover and accents of white. This look can get very dark very fast so always be sure to accent with white or shades of gray.

Re-purposing is my new favorite word of 2011. Minwax is a fantastic stain that is available in all sorts of great colors at Home Depot. Finding an old dresser and giving it a fresh coat of colored stain can be that one "wow" piece in a room.

Fall is in the air and that means fall color will start making their debut. Shades of purple anchored with one deep shade of purple paired with a bright orange makes a great fall pairing. 

Lavender is a great tone to keep things interesting without going over board with purple

Love this tree. Anyone know what it is?

Black and shades of espresso is a great way to not get the "Halloween" look.

Playbills, the new interior design inspiration.

finding your color through inspired memories

Paris will always be blue in my mind. Something about the way the sun sets or the gorgeous ball gowns displayed in those grand store front windows will always make me think of Paris in shades of watered down turqoise. When finding a color you love draw on memories of where you grew up or places you traveled to. 

This is a great way to find your style and that perfect accent color. No need to buy every lamp shade, candle or pillow in the color you admire (hence the word accent). Try incorporating a favorite shade into your decor with accessories scattered evenly across your interior. 

Finding your color will give you something to strive for when your walking the aisles at a flea market or starting a collection of pieces. No need to buy mini shot glasses on your next vacation. Instead find something you love about the color of the water or the way the sky looks when the sun goes down & incorporate these shades into your own home decor.

Looking for a great regret free shade for the inside of a powder bath or the front door? Stop settling for what the stores are selling and find your own unique style by looking backwards at some inspiring things in your life.

Keep looking and that one color that can transport you back to a favorite place or time is bound to show up. Don't worry, good memories never seem to go away.
