The first half of this week, brought to you by yours truly, will be inflamed with massive doses of eye candy. Since I can’t decide if that’s a good thing or not, I used the word ‘inflamed,’ like it has the potential to be a dangerous, itchy rash in an embarrassing place. So let’s get started, shall we?
I love this space. And this fabric. MMMMMM. And I can’t find the source to save my soul, so someone please send me in the right direction?
I think its important to constantly study the use of color in spaces, as well as the elements with color, that compose a space. Color, as you probably well know, is the most important element to me, in a space. But I think that we have it ingrained within us, to be drawn to one color in particular. That’s why we all have a “favorite color,” isn’t it?
this entire entry is drool worthy. I suggest you here and read it now. But I’m naturally drawn to soft, serene hues. The metallic poufs are rocking my world.
I can rattle off about five colors I’m drawn to. Repeatedly. If you’ve been reading this blog for two days, you can probably tell me what they are. But my number one color? 
blue.
in shots of subtle…
Or a space that’s beautifully engulfed.

I’m like a moth to a flame. I can’t control myself.
{Can I have those ceiling lights?}
I think it can be about any hue. From Aqua to peacock to periwinkle to cobalt to teal to a green/blue, to the end of the spectrum and back again…
I just can’t help myself. 
blue is such a versatile color. 
but then again, aren’t they all?
I guess that’s why there’s color theory, psychology, and art therapy. That’s why colors can make or break a space. That’s why their combination in new and fresh ways are so intriguing to me.
So here’s a little game I want to play:
I was thinking that next TUESDAY, {the 26th} ONE week from today, we can have a LINKY PARTAY! I know. Hold the phone. I don’t have linky parties often, {ever.} Admittedly, I think I’m always kind of the nerdy kid who wants to invite some friends over to play, and she’s scared that people will have to wash their hair… and stuff. 
So here’s the deal: A blog about color in your home. It can be a past blog, it can be one you haven’t created yet. It can be about what you love in your home in terms of color, it can be about what you want to change with color. It can be the color schemes. It can be inspiration, it can be pieces used to infuse color throughout your home. The possibilities are endless. Get creative, and make it about color. For instance: mine will probably be all about blue, and how I’ve managed to weasel it into each space for my home. It may be just an up close look at patterns and texture. But about color is the only requirement. I’ll be featuring my fave ones that following Friday! {the 29th}
I may continue these as a series, if you guys are game! Do you think this would be a fun one? I certainly do! Please let know in the comments section if you’re up for it. If no one replies…I shant be having it. {Yes, I did just write shant. That may or may not be why no one will want to play…}
Let me see your true colors!
This will be a fun linky party and maybe, just maybe I can get my act together and share my blue room with you… (but I’m really good at that procrastination thing and I’ve got on more part of that blue room to get painted before I picture it for anyone so…. keep me motivated
ha!)
Great linky party idea! I’ll play! I have the perfect post already
I have a home tour post with all of our paint colors.
Great idea! for ideas!
Great idea! I love linky parties like that, and will work to put something together if I don’t have it already!
I LOVE color! I think this will be a fun party and I hope I can get myself in order to participate.

Love the first kitchen! I also notice that a lot of your pictures have starburst mirrors…have you noticed?
I am in my own color dilema right now myself…it’s amazing how your colors and tastes changes through the years and surprisingly come back full turn.
love the pretty blue eye candy. i’ve always been partial to blue….can’t wait for the day we have a permanent home and decorating budget to add even MORE! The linky party sounds fun – maybe I’ll try to participate.
Great idea! I’m slowly working on all of the spaces in our home and have wanted to write something about my color choices. Guess i need to start writing now!
okay seriously… almost every color you have posted I have pinned on pinterest. I LOVE blue with a fiery passion!!!!! cant wait for the linky!!
Hi there…was just wondering wad it to be a blog just about colour in our homes is just a post…I am a fads confused as from what you have written. It sounds like its a blog just for that…but from the comments it looks as though its just posts…I will try and join in..it may help me get motivated to do the things I want to in my house…lol…xxx…
Hey! no, it’s a post on color. It can be color as applied to anything in your home. color inspiration, like the one I just did, or color for your home like you have now…colorful fabrics…etc. just get creative!
love you! love blue too! you’re like my soul sister! love how jenny beth used the words “fiery passion” – i second that! i plan to play linky too! and that comment about having to wash your hair after… you make me laugh so stinkin’ hard!!!
ALWAYS a good time here on the hand made home
I’m in! Now, to get to cleaning my home so I can take some pictures of our work in progress over here. Though, honestly, I could just copy and paste this blue room post and use it as my own! Blue’s my color!
I’m game! Can’t wait to participate!
Yep, blue is my fave…that and green and everything in-between! I have a hard time breaking from those colors but they sure make me happy, so I am loving this post!
I will join! I’m all about red….
ooo! I’d love to see some red!
fun! i’m in.
Um, yes. Aqua blue. Me. Deep, longlasting, forever and ever kind of love. I’m with you.
I do believe that first photo is from House Beautiful (within the last year, I’d guess). It’s a gorgeous room!
ooooo thanks!
I like the idea of any colors since I don’t just decorate with one color through out my house. It’s a bit of a hodge podge. Now to decide between my yellow kitchen or my pink bedroom (work in progress for both of them). lol See you next Tuesday.
I would love to see your pink bedroom!!!! I have some pink stuff in my bedroom but havent painted yet and need a few ideas!!!!!
New to blogging and a new follower. I have been putting together glimpses of my home and perhaps I shall be able to share that..would love to participate! Either way, I am looking forward to reading all; love color!
