Eddie Ross put up an excellent post today showing how a tattered antique quilt became the inspiration for six rooms.
I’m showing you the quilt that inspired the colors. It just makes me want to open it up and explore all of the possible combinations.
Here’s a quick view I put together of the palettes so that [...]
The inspiration for today’s color palette was found in a garden in Williamsburg, VA and when I was putting it together it reminded me of a home that I had admired in House Beautiful Magazine so I went online to see if I could find it to share with you.

It also spawned Christmas decor in these colors but this year the look is being updated with the addition of traditional red.
I really like this combination and was pleased to see how Caribou coffee took the aqua and [...]

As my son turns eighteen today I’ve been enjoying the memories of his many past birthday celebrations and in my mind’s eye I can recall the warm colors of fall always in the background.
In honor of TJ I’ve created some autumn-inspired color schemes that remind me of him.
