Cupcakes and Cashmere

Color by Design

March 8th, 2012



Every now and then I come across an image (or nine) that inspires me to reconsider the colors of my walls. These unexpected combinations would make for such a fun change – especially a glossy black entryway, a robin egg blue living room or gray kitchen.

    I constantly want to change the wall colors in my home. I’ve been so attracted to orange/citris colors b/c its so bright and happy! But orange is quite a commitment! :)

    i love hints of colour, but definitely drawn to the simple grey space. Very dot dot dash!

    I love these designs. The first one is beautiful and then adding that splash of yellow makes the whole compostion perfect. I like that retro design is coming back into fashion! I would have to say that the seventh photo is my favourite because the colours and the furniture just compliment each other so well.

    We used to have our living room a bright red… it was probably one of the best colors we have ever painted in our house… a lot of work but well worth it. We also painted one of our bedrooms mint green… the paint was from Ace Hardware and the color I believe was Fern. Very beautiful photos.

    I need that peacock. Love that they included that in the kitchen. Very glamorous touch.
