Color Block Thursdays - Purple

Purple is popping up in home decor a lot these days.  Maybe because it looks chic, refreshing, cozy and fun all at the same time.  Rooms done in several shades of purple have a high drama factor but little splashes of purple here and there can be also be a good way to brighten up a room in an unexpected way.

Color Block Thursdays - Black (Doors)

Putting a shiny black door on a room is like putting it in a little black dress.  Fab.

Color Block Thursdays - Red

A little pop of red can really spice up a room and hardly ever clashes, despite its intense presence.  Especially in a smaller house, a common thread of a strong color like red, can tie everything together and make for a very cozy feeling.

Color Block Thursdays - Pink!

This week is pink week because Valentine's Day is pink and because pink is fantastic.  The thing about pink is, it almost never looks bad in the home or in your outfit, but somehow you always look really daring and trend-setting when you use it.  Apparently the editors of House Beautiful love pink, too, because almost all of my pictures are from their website, although all from different issues!

Color Block Thursdays - Black and Yellow

Color inspiration of the week: Black and Yellow.  They may not be winners on the football field, but they are always winners in your house!

Color Block Thursdays - Robin's Egg Blue

The first edition of a Thursday tradition to showcase one outstanding color or color combination.  First up....robin's egg blue because I've seen so much of it lately and because I wish I could look outside and see a Robin instead of snow!


First up, might technically be a little brighter than robin's egg, but I've always loved that Van Gogh and I'm sure he used some robin's egg blue in there somewhere....
