Appetite for color

They say admitting you have a problem is the first step...  well, here it is,  I am addicted to color!  There, I said it!   I wonder  if it's because I grew up in a brown house with brown floors and brown walls and a brown kitchen?  That may be it, either way, my thirst for hunger is insatiable!   I find the more I try to ignore my need, the greater it is...

Today, as I was walking around my house, I was over come with the need to paint; again!  This time, is different... there are literally visions of dusty purples, raspberries and teals dancing through my head... sorry boys.  Some times, a girls gotta be a girl ;)

Here are some things that got my design engines roaring today....

Is it possible?  A room with teal, hot pink, gold and zebra?!  This room by Civility Design is increadible!!  Chicago Home Mag

 I want to know one thing;  where's my hot pink sofa and gaudy gold mirror?!  I found these via LOVE LIVE SURVIVE HOME blog.  It was featured in a Spanish magazine 'Nuevo Estilo'. Talk about spice!

 Now tell me, after seeing these don't you want to add a little color to your room?!  Looking for a little color inspiration?  Here are a few trusted sources I turn to:

Nature:

Can you believe this is an insect in bangladesh Talk about color!!

Magazines:

This is funky, hip, industrial and just plain amazing!  Kiehl's store featured in Interior Design Magazine

The Streets:

I am a huge fan of graffiti art!  There is the freedom in the expression of this type of art that draws me in.  The colors in this piece are out of control!!  It's by an Atlanta Griffiti Artist

Fashion Trends:

The Leather Union Jack Clutch by Alexander McQueen is the perfect color blue to raise eyebrows when painted on an obnoxiously ornate vintage piece of furniture!

My mission today...to inspire you to bring some color into your life
much love
